Today, moving costs in Israel remain relatively high. The price of a move primarily depends on two key factors: the distance of the move and the accessibility of the new residence.
It’s important to understand that the initial quote you receive from a moving company is an estimate, which may change on moving day. Why does this happen? Let’s explore the factors that influence the final cost.
Accessibility of the addresses
If the moving truck can’t park directly in front of the building, and movers have to carry items a long distance, the price increases.
Staircases — especially in buildings without elevators — also add to the cost.
Availability of a freight or lifting elevator
If there is no freight elevator and your apartment is located above the first floor, a lifting crane may be required, which significantly raises the cost.
Furniture disassembly and reassembly
Some furniture items, such as wardrobes or beds, need to be disassembled before moving. Most companies offer this service, but it comes at an extra charge.
Packing of small items
You can do this yourself or hire movers to help. However, keep in mind: no moving company will take responsibility for the safety of fragile or breakable items unless they’re properly packed.
Our company offers convenient, reusable plastic moving boxes for rent — for example, for 10 days. They’re durable, don’t tear or deform, and protect your belongings better than cardboard boxes.
If you need storage, we also provide secure short-term and long-term storage solutions for the contents of your home. We’re one of Israel’s leading providers in this field.
Small room / student move – from 1,200 to 1,500 NIS
1-2 room apartment – from 1,500 to 2,000 NIS
4-5 room apartment – from 2,000 NIS, depending on the amount of furniture
Provide detailed logistics: presence of an elevator, number of floors, stairs, and distance from parking to the entrance.
Share all relevant information with the moving company in advance to avoid unexpected price increases on moving day.
Make a list of all items being moved — or even better, take photos. This ensures nothing is forgotten and helps avoid price disputes later.
