Tell us about your move
Where you are moving from and to, when, and roughly what is coming with you. It takes about two minutes, it costs nothing, and you are not committed to anything at the end of it.
In Stuttgart a move often goes uphill: many flats sit on the slopes around the valley basin, and there is little room outside the front door. Comparing early helps you find a company that knows such locations and plans enough time.
Stuttgart lies in a valley basin. Down below are the centre and the dense districts in the west, south and east; on the slopes the so-called Halbhöhenlage; and up top districts such as Degerloch, Vaihingen or Feuerbach. For a move, distance is rarely the problem, but the gradient and the space in front of the house often are.
Many streets on the slopes are steep and narrow, and some houses can only be reached by steps and footpaths, Stuttgart's Stäffele. Then the vehicle cannot get to the door, and every piece of furniture has to be carried some way. Describe the route from the vehicle to the front door in your request as precisely as you can, so that companies plan enough helpers and time.
Stuttgart's West, South and East have many older buildings with narrow stairwells, often without a lift, and parking is scarce. A no-parking zone usually makes sense there. Where the stairwell is too narrow, a furniture lift helps.
The whole city is a low-emission zone, and a green sticker is required. On top of that, older diesels are banned: up to Euro 4 across the whole city, and up to Euro 5 in the valley basin and in Bad Cannstatt, Feuerbach and Zuffenhausen. There are exemptions for deliveries and residents, and the rules are adjusted from time to time. Companies from the region know where things stand; with a van you rent yourself, check with the city of Stuttgart beforehand that it may enter.
There are few roads into the basin and out again, and in rush hour they jam quickly. A company that knows Stuttgart plans the drive outside peak times. Many moves go out into the surrounding area, to Esslingen, Ludwigsburg, Böblingen, Sindelfingen or Fellbach. Whether a fixed price or an hourly rate suits better is explained in Fixed price or hourly rate.
