The Truth About "Cheap" Movers
Here's what you need to know about finding affordable moving services:
- Budget range: AED 600-1,200 for studios, AED 1,500-2,500 for apartments
- Cheapest isn't always best: Very low prices often mean hidden fees or no insurance
- DIY option: Rent a van (AED 200-400/day) if you have help
- Best value: Mid-range professionals who include insurance and proper equipment
How to Find Affordable Movers Without the Risk
Everyone wants to save money on moving. But the cheapest quote often costs more in the end—through hidden fees, damaged items, or wasted time. Here's how to find genuinely affordable movers in Dubai.
The sweet spot is usually mid-range professional movers. They cost 20-30% more than the cheapest options but include insurance, proper equipment, and trained staff. That difference often pays for itself in avoided problems.
