Are you planning a move within Bavaria, moving to the Free State or moving to another German state? With one free, no-obligation request you can receive and compare quotes from suitable moving companies.
Bavaria is Germany's largest state by area. Between the cities of Franconia, the Munich and Nuremberg conurbations and the communities in the Alpine foothills, distances can be long. While a move within a city covers only a few kilometres, several hours of driving can lie between two regions.
Whether from Würzburg to Passau or from Aschaffenburg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen: moves between different regions of Bavaria can involve several hours of driving. On busy motorways and around larger cities, allow for possible delays.
For longer moves, realistic driving times and enough time to load and unload are particularly important. Depending on the distance and the size of the move, planning over several days can also make sense. Give both addresses and the size of your move as precisely as possible so that companies can prepare suitable quotes.
Bavaria has more public holidays than most states. Epiphany on 6 January, Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day are holidays across the state, the Assumption on 15 August in municipalities with a mainly Catholic population, and in Augsburg the Peace Festival on 8 August as well. On public holidays, besides restrictions on the roads, special rules may apply to moving work. So check early with the moving company whether your preferred date is possible. If you move to Bavaria or away from it, plan the date with both calendars in mind.
Many Bavarian cities have narrow, cobbled old towns with pedestrian zones, such as Regensburg, Nuremberg, Passau or Augsburg. Access can be restricted there, and a temporary no-stopping zone often makes sense. A temporary no-stopping zone is generally the responsibility of the local road traffic authority. In Munich, applications are handled by the Mobilitätsreferat.
Bavaria has low-emission zones in Munich, Augsburg and Regensburg. Depending on the city, different access rules and possible additional restrictions apply. So check before the move which requirements apply to your vehicle.
In the south the land rises into the mountains. In villages in the Allgäu, the Werdenfelser Land or the Berchtesgadener Land, the roads are often narrow and steep, some houses sit on slopes, and in winter snow and ice come on top. A moving company familiar with the region can take such conditions into account when choosing the vehicle and planning the time.
Your request goes to the companies whose service area includes your move-out address. For a move within Bavaria these are often firms from your region; for a long distance, also companies that drive all over Germany. You compare the quotes at your leisure and decide yourself which one to accept. How the costs are made up is explained in Calculating moving costs.
