What determines the moving price in Leeuwarden?
Volume of belongings
More cubic metres means more loading space and more hands. This is the single biggest cost factor.
Distance
Moving within Leeuwarden is cheaper than to Groningen or Assen. Over 50 km, a distance surcharge applies.
Floor & lift
No lift in the building pushes the price up. Every extra floor adds time on the clock.
Parking in Leeuwarden
In the Leeuwarden city centre and around the canals, parking can be tricky. We arrange a permit if needed.
Day & season
Saturdays and the summer months are busier. Tuesday to Thursday outside summer is the most affordable.
Extra services
A packing service, furniture assembly or piano transport are quoted separately, based on your situation.
Moving by neighbourhood in Leeuwarden
City centre & Historic centre
The Leeuwarden city centre has charming canal houses with narrow passages and steep staircases. For addresses without a lift on higher floors, DURA charges a small surcharge of €50-75. We know the city, and we know how to handle the awkward addresses.
Camminghaburen & De Domp
Spacious new-build neighbourhoods with good accessibility. Moves here usually go quickly, with no extra surcharges. Ideal for family moves.
Huizum & Lekkum
Quiet residential areas with a mix of terraced and detached houses. Here it is mainly the volume of your belongings that sets the price.
Heechterp & Schieringen
Flats and walk-up buildings. Comparable to student neighbourhoods in Groningen, quick moves for smaller volumes.
Leeuwarden-Zuid & Wirdum
Detached houses and farmhouses on the edge of Leeuwarden. Larger volumes take more time, but accessibility is usually excellent.
Moving to or from Leeuwarden
DURA is active throughout the Northern Netherlands. For moves between Leeuwarden and other cities in the region, a small distance surcharge applies:

|---|---|---|

| Leeuwarden → Assen | € 70 - 100 | € 545 - 780 |
| Leeuwarden → Drachten | € 25 - 50 | € 500 - 730 |

- Packing service: professional packing of your belongings, price on request
- Furniture assembly: dismantling and assembling wardrobes and beds, €35 per hour
- Piano or safe: fixed surcharge based on weight and accessibility
- Temporary storage: if your new home is not yet available
Moving on a weekday (Tue-Thu) is usually €50-100 cheaper than on a Saturday. Pack boxes yourself and collect items you are getting rid of in advance via Marktplaats or the second-hand shop.
