Find moving helpers and use them where they help most

Find moving helpers in Germany: what to outsource, what details providers need and which current platforms can help.

01

When are moving helpers the right choice?

Paid helpers bridge the gap between a fully DIY move and a full-service moving company. You keep control of the van, schedule and packing and outsource only the labour you need.

  • Carrying and loading/unloading only
  • Help with heavy or bulky furniture
  • Furniture disassembly or assembly where offered
  • Extra help if private helpers cancel

02

What should you include in the request?

The clearer the job description, the easier it is to compare time and price.

  • Start and destination address plus time window
  • Floor, lift access and walking distance
  • Number of boxes and large/heavy items
  • Whether you already have a van
  • How many helpers you need and whether assembly is included

03

What should you compare?

Do not compare hourly rates alone. The useful comparison is the actual scope included.

  • Minimum booking duration
  • Travel and surcharges
  • Number of helpers
  • Whether transport is included
  • Liability/damage rules and invoice
  • Cancellation and rescheduling terms
