Moving in Passau

Passau lies where the Danube, Inn and Ilz meet. Especially in the historic old town, narrow lanes, limited access and narrow stairwells can make a move more difficult. Comparing several moving companies early makes it easier to judge suitable services and prices.

Away from the old town, hillside locations also shape the city. Districts such as Haidenhof and Hacklberg differ clearly from the densely built-up areas along the rivers. Depending on the address, slopes, carrying distances and parking therefore play an important part in planning a move.

The old town on its peninsula

The lanes are cobbled and partly steep, and individual streets and pedestrian areas may have access restrictions. A large removal van cannot get into every lane. Depending on the address, a smaller moving vehicle can make sense. Whether extra trips are needed depends on the amount of furniture and the access.

Hills and slopes

Steep streets and steps to the front door lengthen the carrying distances. The more precisely your request describes the route, the better companies can plan the vehicle and helpers.

Students and the start of term

The University of Passau lies near the Inn. Around the start of term in spring and autumn, students move into halls, rooms in shared flats and smaller flats.

For such moves, what matters is whether only personal belongings and boxes or also furniture need to be transported. Stating the scope early makes planning easier for the moving companies and lets you compare suitable quotes.

No-stopping zones

In parts of the old town and in densely built-up streets, parking may be limited. Apply to the City of Passau for a temporary no-stopping zone in good time before your date; some moving companies help with this.

Moves in Passau and the surrounding area

Passau lies right on the Austrian border and is connected to other cities in Bavaria via the A3. Within Germany, moves go for example to Vilshofen an der Donau, Tiefenbach or towards Regensburg.

On longer routes, besides the distance, the amount of furniture, how accessible the buildings are and any additional services affect the costs. How to plan your budget better is explained in our guide to saving on moving costs.

Moving in Passau: the usual questions

That depends on the exact address and the access rules that apply. In your request, give the street, the floor and the distance between the front door and a possible stopping place if you can. The moving company can then check which vehicle is suitable.

Yes, moves within Germany such as to Regensburg are possible. Give the start and destination address in your request; the quotes show which companies take on the route and at what price. On longer routes in particular, it is worth comparing several quotes.

Around the start of lectures in spring and autumn many students move, and many tenancies change at the end of the month. If you are flexible, it is best to ask about available dates early.

There is no one figure, which is the reason this page exists. The price turns on the distance, the floor, whether a lift is involved and how much is coming with you — and moving companies weigh those differently. Asking several movers covering Passau at once is the only way to see the spread for your own move, and it costs nothing.

Four to six weeks is comfortable, and the end of a month is the busy part everywhere, Passau included. If your date is fixed and close, say so in the request: a company that cannot make it will tell you quickly, which is worth knowing early.

Yes. Each company sets the area it covers, and your request reaches the ones whose area includes your move-out address in Passau — whether you are moving across town or to the other end of the country.
