Bought something on
Marktplaats?
We pick it up.

A sofa, a wardrobe, a washing machine or that one vintage find: DURA Transport collects it and carries it inside, up to the right floor. The same driver every time, our own van, a clear price up front. In Groningen and across the north of the Netherlands.

DURA Transport, moving van and driver in Groningen

Transport in Groningen: from one box to half an attic

Too big for a bike, too small for a full move. That is exactly what we drive for.

Marktplaats & second hand

Found a bargain but no van? We collect your Marktplaats, Vinted or charity shop find and bring it to your door.

Furniture & appliances

Sofa, wardrobe, washing machine or fridge from A to B, secured with blankets and straps.

Things from A to B

A few boxes to storage, a sideboard to family, your things to a student room. One trip, sorted.

Runs to the tip

Clearing an attic, shed or cellar? We load it all up and take it to the recycling centre. Tip fee + €25 handling.

Moving a whole home? That is a job for our moving team. Clearing a whole property? See house clearance.

From the shop to your room, put together

A wardrobe from IKEA, a second-hand bed from Marktplaats, a whole child's room. We collect it, carry it up and assemble it. No van to rent, no allen key to hunt for.

Collection

From IKEA, a web shop, a charity shop or a Marktplaats seller. Tell us where it is, we arrange the pick-up time and drive over.

Assembly

Wardrobes, beds, desks, tables and loose kitchen units. The cardboard and polystyrene go back with us on the same trip.

New to Groningen?

Arriving with an empty flat is the job we do most often. One day, one van: collect, carry up, assemble, packaging removed. See moving to Groningen from abroad.

The trip is charged as ordinary transport: the call-out fee plus the hourly rate below. The time we spend assembling runs on that same hourly rate, per started quarter of an hour. For a larger job, such as furnishing a full room, we tell you up front roughly what it will cost.

Things to the recycling centre, without a trailer

A sofa that will not go through the door again, an attic full of boxes, the contents of a shed. We load it and take it away. You carry nothing and borrow nothing.

What we take

  • Furniture and mattresses
  • White goods and electronics
  • Wood, metal and rubble
  • Garden waste and prunings
  • Boxes and clutter from an attic, shed or cellar

What we cannot take

Asbestos, chemical waste, paint and gas cylinders. Separate rules apply to those and we do not drive that route. Not sure? Send a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you straight away.

What it costs

The call-out fee plus the hourly rate below, plus the fee the recycling centre charges itself and € 25 handling. Time per started quarter of an hour, minimum € 69 per trip.

Emptying a whole property? That is not a trip but a house clearance, and we quote that per project.

Not an anonymous courier, but a familiar face

Your trip is driven by our own driver, in our own removal van (an Iveco Daily) stocked with blankets, straps and a sack truck. The same care as on our moves, even if it is only one cabinet.

Service area: the city of Groningen first, and beyond that all of Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe. Further afield? On request we drive anywhere in the country, and the per-kilometre price is right there in the rates.

Reliable. Available. Close by.

Part of DURA

Transport is not a sideline for us.

DURA moves and clears homes across the north of the Netherlands every day. DURA Transport is the small, quick branch of that: the same people, the same van, the same honest prices, for everything that is not a full move.

Shared tip runs: one trip, split between you

A single trip is available now, this week if you need it. But why pay on your own for a run to the recycling centre? Soon we will collect sign-ups per city and bundle them onto one fixed day. The more sign-ups from your neighbourhood, the lower the price per address.

1. Register your items

Tell us what needs to go and in which city. Signing up is free and commits you to nothing.

2. We bundle per city

Once there are enough sign-ups we plan one trip, and you get a date and your price.

3. Cheaper together

The trip is shared, so everyone pays less than for a trip of their own. All you do is put your things ready.

Transport Groningen, FAQ

What does it cost to have furniture transported in Groningen?

Within the city of Groningen you pay a €49 call-out fee plus €65 per hour for van and driver. Collecting and delivering a single piece of furniture usually comes to between €114 and €155, including VAT. The minimum per trip is €69.

Do you collect Marktplaats purchases?

Yes, that is exactly what we drive for. Send us the listing or a photo, we arrange the collection with the seller, and we deliver your purchase to your home, up to the right floor.

Do I have to help carry?

No. The driver carries as standard. For heavy or bulky items, such as a sofa or a washing machine, we schedule a second person at €39.50 per hour extra.

How quickly can you drive?

Usually within a few working days. Need it today or tomorrow? With the 25% urgency surcharge we fit your trip in within 24 hours, if the schedule allows.

How far do you drive?

Our service area is Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe. Further is possible too: beyond 50 kilometres we charge €0.65 per extra kilometre on top of the call-out fee. Ask us for a price for your trip.

Do you also take things to the tip?

Yes. You pay the fee the recycling centre charges plus €25 handling. Clearing and removing a full attic or shed can be done in one trip.

Can you collect my IKEA order and assemble it?

Yes. We collect your order from IKEA or another shop, carry everything up and assemble it. The cardboard and polystyrene go back with us on the same trip. You pay the call-out fee plus the hourly rate; assembly time runs on that same rate, per started quarter of an hour.

Can you furnish a whole room?

Yes, we do this regularly. Think of a child's room, or an empty flat that has to be liveable in a day: collect, carry up, assemble, packaging taken away. For a job like that we tell you up front roughly what it will cost, so there are no surprises.

Do you assemble furniture I already have at home?

Yes. A wardrobe still in its box or a bed lying in pieces we will assemble too, even if we did not collect it. We charge the time we spend, per started quarter of an hour, plus the call-out fee.

What can you not take to the recycling centre?

We do not take asbestos, chemical waste, paint or gas cylinders; separate rules apply to those. Furniture, mattresses, white goods, electronics, wood, metal, rubble and garden waste all go without a problem. Not sure about a load, send us a photo on WhatsApp.

Need more?

More than a few pieces of furniture?

As soon as it starts to look like a move, our moving service works out cheaper than separate trips. And if something needs clearing or handing back to the landlord, that can go in the same job.
