Choosing Movers FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our moving services
Get 3-4 quotes. This gives you enough to compare without too many options. Look at services, not just price. The cheapest option is rarely the best.
Studio: AED 800-1,200. 1BR: AED 1,500-2,500. 2BR: AED 2,500-3,500. Villa: AED 4,000-10,000+. Quotes far below these may mean cut corners or hidden fees.
No. Very low quotes often mean no license, no insurance, or hidden fees. Pick based on value and trust, not just price.
At minimum: Public liability insurance for property and third-party damage. Better: Full goods-in-transit cover. Always ask for proof.
