What Determines the Cost of Moving in Kenya?

Moving costs in Kenya are determined by several key factors. The volume and weight of items to be moved is the primary driver — more items means a larger truck and more crew time. The distance of the move significantly affects cost, with long-distance moves costing more than local ones. The floor level and access at both origin and destination affects loading and unloading time. Additional services such as packing, unpacking, storage, and furniture assembly add to the base cost. The time of month also matters — end-of-month moves are in higher demand and may cost slightly more. And specialist items such as pianos, safes, and fragile artwork require specialist handling that adds to the cost.

Case Study: Accurate Quote Saves Customer Money

A customer called Dial and Move Kenya for a 3-bedroom move in Nairobi. After a free WhatsApp video survey, we identified that the customer had fewer items than a typical 3-bedroom home — many rooms were sparsely furnished. We quoted KES 18,000 instead of the standard KES 25,000+, saving the customer KES 7,000. The move was completed perfectly within the quoted price.

"Dial and Move Kenya's video survey saved me money I didn't expect to save. Their honesty and transparency are what set them apart." — Customer, Nairobi.
