Moving in Zurich: costs, local specifics and moving dates
A local move in Zurich usually costs CHF 700 to 1,500 for a 2.5-room apartment and CHF 1,500 to 3,000 for a 4.5-room apartment. A team of two with a van charges CHF 150 to 250 per hour.
Zurich stretches from the lake and the Limmat up the slopes of the Zürichberg. In the old town and the older inner districts, lanes are narrow and many buildings have no lift, while new developments in Zurich West and Oerlikon usually have lifts and underground parking. Trams run on many streets and parking is scarce, so a temporary no-parking zone for the van is often worthwhile. Many expats live in Zurich.
In the city of Zurich, the official moving dates are 31 March and 30 September. Around these dates removal companies are booked up early; a mid-month weekday is often cheaper. Moves to Kilchberg, Zollikon, Schlieren or Wallisellen usually count as local. If in doubt, your lease applies.
Many companies combine the move with end-of-tenancy cleaning with handover guarantee (CHF 600 to 1,500 for 3.5 rooms): the property management checks the apartment against a handover protocol, and if it finds faults, the company returns for free. Through Offrendo you describe your move once and receive up to three free quotes from companies in Zurich and the surrounding area.

Moving requests on Offrendo – Switzerland-wide analysis
There are still too few requests for Zurich (fewer than 5 in 90 days). The figures therefore refer to requests in Switzerland.
In the last 90 days, Offrendo recorded 18 requests for Moving in Switzerland. Of these, 14 were in the last 30 days. Most frequently requested: Private move, Move-out cleaning, Office relocation, Packing. Estimated project value: CHF 950.00 to CHF 1'825.00 – median of the automatic cost estimates from the form details of 18 requests in the last 12 months. These are estimates, not quoted or paid prices. 92 active, registered providers have Zurich in their service area. Whether they take on a specific request is up to them. On average, 1.6 providers unlocked a request (no more than 3 possible; 17 requests in the last 12 months). The median time until a provider first views a new request is about 7 hours (14 requests, last 90 days). This is not the time until a quote.

How these figures are calculated
- Scope: Moving requests in Switzerland. Data as of: 25.10.2026.
- Requests: requests submitted on Offrendo in this category (excluding blocked entries), counted over 90 or 30 days up to the data date.
- Estimated project value: Offrendo’s automatic estimate based on the form details (e.g. number of rooms, floor area, selected services); only estimates with sufficient confidence, median of the lower and upper bounds, last 12 months. Quoted and paid prices are not included – Offrendo does not record them systematically.
- Unlocks per request: the average number of providers who paid to unlock a request (0 to 3), requests from the last 12 months that are at least 3 days old. An unlock gives access to the contact details – it is not the same as a quote.
- Providers serving this area: active, registered providers whose category and service area cover the location (as of today). This says nothing about their availability for a specific request.
- Guide prices elsewhere on this page are reference values from publicly available Swiss price information – not an analysis of Offrendo requests.
- A figure is only shown if there is enough data (at least 5 requests or 5 records per figure). Methodology of the Offrendo market monitor
