Movers by the hour in Tallinn

The hourly price is per person. If you book two movers, the hourly price is two people's rate. The time starts when the crew arrives and ends when the job is done. There is a minimum booking, because even for a short job the crew has to travel to you.

After the minimum we usually charge by the half hour, so you do not pay for a full hour if the job ran over by a few minutes. Prices below are starting prices: the final rate may differ if the job needs special equipment or happens very early or very late.

With an hourly job the final price depends a lot on preparation. Most time is lost waiting and deciding on site. Some tips:

• pack small things into boxes and close them before the movers arrive;
• empty cabinets and drawers;
• decide in advance what goes and what stays;
• reserve a spot for the vehicle in front of the building or tell us where the nearest parking is;
• keep the lift free and agree with the housing association if needed.

If you know an item will not fit through the door or stairwell, say so beforehand. Then we can bring the right tools and not waste time finding a solution.

Every job is different, but as a guide:

• one large item up or down a floor, such as a sofa or fridge: usually fits within the minimum time;
• the contents of a one-room apartment into a van and out again: depends on the floors, but usually a few hours;
• furniture from several rooms without a lift: plan for a bigger crew, because two people tire and the work slows down.

We give a more accurate estimate if you describe the amount of things and the floors, or send a couple of photos.

An hourly rate suits jobs where the scope changes: a move, a warehouse or a site where tasks become clear as you go. A fixed price makes more sense for one clear job, such as unloading a container or carrying a safe. Just ask which option is cheaper in your situation.

You can book movers in two ways. If you already have a vehicle, for example a rented van or a friend with a trailer, the movers simply come and help load and unload. In that case you only pay for their time.

If you have no vehicle, it makes sense to book a van with a driver and movers. Then one crew does the whole job and you do not have to coordinate different providers. The driver helps carry too, which means you may need one mover fewer.

Either way, say when booking whether the movers are needed at both ends. If the destination is in another district, we also account for the driving time between the two addresses.
