Are you planning a move, perhaps an international one, and the mere thought of asking for a moving quote fills you with anxiety? You're not alone. Many fear encountering hidden costs, endless bureaucracy, or damage to their most precious belongings. The search for a clear and reliable quote can turn into a labyrinth of vague figures and ambiguous promises.
At Traslochi.com, we know this well. That's why our mission isn't just to give you a price, but to provide you with a detailed spending plan. We will show you exactly what you're paying for, why you're paying for it, and, most importantly, how to avoid any unforeseen costs. This guide is your map to obtaining a transparent quote and starting your new chapter with the peace of mind you deserve.
Beyond the Boxes: Why a Detailed Quote is the First Step to Your New Stress-Free Life
A move isn't just about transporting items from point A to point B. It's a moment of great change, often filled with expectations and, inevitably, stress. Whether you're a family relocating for a new opportunity abroad, an expat professional, or a company moving its headquarters, peace of mind is the most valuable asset to transport.
A well-structured moving quote is not just a list of costs, but the first brick in a bridge of trust. It's a demonstration of our expertise and our ability to plan every detail, transforming bureaucratic and logistical complexity into a clear and manageable path. It's an investment in your peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your new life or business, knowing that your belongings are in safe hands.
Key Factors That Make Your Moving Quote Transparent and Reliable
For a quote to be truly transparent, it must consider every variable. Here are the pillars upon which we build your estimate, eliminating any surprises:
- Volume and Distance: The precise calculation of the volume in cubic meters (m³) of your belongings is fundamental. Distance, for both national and international moves (e.g., Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA), affects transportation costs (by land, sea, or air).
- Packing and Disassembly Services: Do you need professional packing for fragile items or artwork? Do you want a "turnkey" service that includes furniture disassembly and reassembly? Every additional service is detailed.
- Customs and Bureaucratic Procedures: For international moves, managing customs procedures, import/export permits, and residency certificates is crucial. We will illustrate every item, ensuring a smooth transition.
- All-Risk Insurance: The protection of your belongings is our priority. Every quote includes clear insurance options, with "all-risk" coverage to give you maximum peace of mind against damage or loss.
- Special Services and Accessibility: Transport of pianos, safes, artwork? Access to upper floors without an elevator? ZTL permits? Every specific need is evaluated and included in the quote, with no hidden costs afterwards.
- Temporary Storage: If you need temporary storage for your belongings, we will provide secure and climate-controlled storage options, with clear and flexible costs.
Every item is explained, every cost justified. This is our commitment to your complete clarity.
The Trap of Vague Quotes: How Traslochi.com Protects You from Hidden Costs
Unfortunately, the market is not short of tempting offers that later turn out to be real traps. An excessively low moving quote should always raise a red flag. Often, these proposals hide:
- Missing items: Insufficient insurance, customs costs not included, permits not considered.
- Poor quality materials: Non-professional packaging that puts your belongings at risk.
- Unqualified personnel: Risk of damage or inefficiencies.
- Unjustified delays: With consequent additional costs for storage or stay.
At Traslochi.com, we adopt a different approach. Our survey (even virtual) is meticulous, our consultation is free, and our quote is a detailed document, not just a simple sheet with a final figure. We guarantee maximum transparency from the very first moment, because your trust is our most precious asset.

Frequently Asked Questions about Moving Quotes
Does the insurance included in the quote cover all types of damage?
Our standard quote includes basic insurance. However, we always recommend opting for "All-Risk" insurance, which offers the most comprehensive coverage against all types of damage or loss, ensuring maximum protection for your emotionally and economically valuable belongings. All details are clearly specified in the quote.

Volume is a key factor. We offer a free, no-obligation survey, both in-person and virtual, to accurately estimate the volume of your belongings. This allows us to provide you with an accurate and surprise-free moving quote, optimizing space and transportation costs.
Can I get a quote without a survey?
Yes, it is possible to get a preliminary estimate by providing us with a detailed list of your belongings and needs. However, for a definitive and surprise-free moving quote, we strongly recommend a survey (even virtual), which allows us to evaluate every logistical and structural aspect.
Are there extra costs for special services like transporting a piano or artwork?
Yes, the transport of special items such as pianos, safes, or artwork requires specific equipment and expertise. These services are quoted separately in the estimate, with maximum transparency, to ensure the highest safety and professionalism in handling these valuable items.
