How to hire a moving company in Stockholm, a complete guide

A move in Stockholm can be one of the year's biggest expenses, and one of its most stressful days. The right moving company is the difference between a calm afternoon and a disaster with damaged furniture and runaway invoices.

Here's what you need to know before booking.

What does a moving company cost in Stockholm?

Hourly rates are typically 500–800 SEK/h per mover after RUT deduction. A 1-bedroom takes 4–6 hours with 2 people, a 3-bedroom takes 8–10 hours with 3 people.

Fixed price for a full move (including packing) of a 2-bedroom apartment lands at 8,000–15,000 SEK after RUT.

The RUT deduction for moving

Moving services have been RUT-eligible since 2016. You get a 50% deduction on labour cost, capped at 75,000 SEK per person per year.

The deduction is handled automatically by the moving company, you pay only the net amount on the invoice.

How to compare quotes fairly

Fixed price or hourly? Fixed gives certainty but requires a careful inventory. Hourly can be cheaper if you're well prepared.

Does it include packing, packing materials, assembly/disassembly of furniture, storage if needed?

What insurance does the company hold? Require at least 100,000 SEK in damage coverage per job.

Red flags to avoid

Companies without F-skatt or an organisation number. Cash-only payment. Prices that sound too good to be true (below 300 SEK/h).

No written quote, vague surcharges (stairs, parking distance, heavy items) that appear only on the invoice.
