I used Henrique's company for a move from my apartment in Lisbon to a house I bought in the countryside, and I was happy with the service overall, with his team, with his communication, and the price felt fair. We had an issue with a missing item in the van, but Henrique's communication was good and it was resolved in the end. There were no damages or anything like that, just a slight delay in the beginning but everything was fine.

Alfredo helped when I moved house and needed a team to bring everything off the truck and place it in the rooms. They did more than that, they unpacked everything, removed all the packaging, and took literally all the rubbish away from the house, which is always the biggest annoyance after a move. They have also come back a few other times to help move heavy things around, and they are really flexible. Rachel answers me within one hour, the service was fantastic, and the price felt very fair.

I hired Eddie for a house move after another company cancelled on me the night before, and he answered right away and fit me in between 12 and 1. He moved everything from the old house to the new house, everything went smooth and everything was ok. They were very helpful, did a lot of extra stuff, assembled a lot of things, and were very careful about my things. They were really nice and all good, and for me the experience was amazing.
Real price ranges for single items, small moves and a van with a driver. Prices updated October 2026
How much does an appliance move cost in Lisbon?
Most people pay by the hour for a van and two people, often with a one or two hour minimum, so ask for a total before they come. Old Lisbon buildings with no lift and tight stairs add time, and check whether the rate includes IVA.
How much does moving a few items cost in Lisbon?
For a few boxes and a piece or two of furniture, many Lisbon movers charge by the hour with a two hour minimum, so a short trip often lands near the bottom of this range. Stairs with no lift, a long carry from where the van can stop, or a weekend slot push it up.
How much does furniture pickup and delivery cost in Lisbon?
Getting one item from a shop or an OLX seller to your place is usually a short job, and having it carried up the stairs costs more than a drop at the street door. IKEA's own delivery to a Lisbon address sits in the same range, so it's a fair yardstick when you compare quotes.
How much does a man with a van cost in Lisbon?
Most man and van jobs in Lisbon are billed by the hour with a two hour minimum, and the cheap starting rates you see online often leave out IVA, so ask for the full rate. Check whether the clock starts at your door or when they leave their base.
How much does a same-day move cost in Lisbon?
Same-day help is often possible if you call in the morning, and many small movers just charge their normal hourly rate with a two hour minimum. Some add an urgency charge, so ask for the total before you agree.
How much does moving a single piece of furniture cost in Lisbon?
One sofa or wardrobe usually needs two people, and in older Lisbon buildings a tight stairwell can mean taking legs or doors off, or lifting it through a window, which costs extra. A wardrobe that has to come apart adds assembly time on top.
How much does moving a single pallet cost in Lisbon?
For one pallet a groupage carrier is usually cheapest, but it drops at street level and you may need a tail lift, which can cost extra. A van and driver is quicker for a short hop across Lisbon, and check whether the quote includes IVA, since some carriers list prices without it.
How much does a studio or T1 move cost in Lisbon?
A studio or T1 with a lift and everything already boxed usually takes a van and two or three movers about three to four hours. No lift, a top floor in an old building or asking them to pack pushes it toward the top, and not every quote includes IVA.
How much does furniture disassembly and reassembly cost in Lisbon?
Assemblers charge by the hour or per piece, and a big wardrobe takes far longer than a bed or a chest of drawers. Some add a travel fee if you're outside their usual area, so ask for one total.
How much does a packing and unpacking service cost in Lisbon?
Packing is usually charged by the hour on top of the move, and having the crew do it adds roughly a third to the bill. Boxes and tape are often extra, so ask what's included and whether you can bring your own.
