Introduction: Why Knowing Moving Prices in Nairobi Matters
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people move in and around Nairobi. Families upgrade to bigger homes. Young professionals relocate closer to work. Businesses expand to new offices. Students move into their first apartments. Retirees downsize to quieter neighborhoods. And every single one of them faces the same question before they even start packing a single box: How much is this going to cost?
It's the most important question in moving — and it's also one of the hardest to answer, because moving prices in Nairobi vary enormously depending on a wide range of factors. Ask five different moving companies for a quote and you might get five completely different numbers. Some will be suspiciously low. Some will be shockingly high. And most won't explain what's included or why they're charging what they're charging.
At Dial and Move Kenya, we believe in complete transparency. We are proud to be Nairobi's most affordable professional moving company — offering the lowest prices in the market without compromising on quality, safety, or reliability. In this comprehensive 8,000-word guide, we break down moving prices in Nairobi across every category: house moves, office moves, long-distance moves, international moves, and storage services. We explain what drives costs up and down, what's included in a fair quote, and how to make sure you're getting the best possible value for your money.
By the time you finish reading this guide, you'll know exactly what to expect, exactly what to ask, and exactly why Dial and Move Kenya is the smartest choice for your next move.
Part 1: What Determines Moving Prices in Nairobi?
Before we dive into specific price ranges, it's important to understand the key factors that determine moving costs in Nairobi. These factors apply across all types of moves and will help you understand why quotes vary and how to evaluate them intelligently.
1. Volume and Weight of Belongings
The single biggest driver of moving costs is how much you have to move. More items mean a larger truck, more manpower, more packing materials, and more time. A studio apartment with minimal furniture costs a fraction of what a fully furnished 5-bedroom house costs to move. When you request a quote, the moving company needs to assess your volume accurately — which is why a pre-move survey is so important.
2. Distance
Distance affects fuel costs, driver time, and the number of trips required. Moving within the same estate is significantly cheaper than moving across Nairobi, which is significantly cheaper than moving from Nairobi to Meru or Mombasa. For international moves, distance is one of the primary cost drivers, along with shipping method (air vs. sea).
3. Services Required
A basic load-and-go service (you pack, they load and transport) costs significantly less than a full-service move that includes packing, dismantling, transport, reassembly, and unpacking. The more services you require, the higher the cost — but the less work you have to do yourself.
4. Floor Level and Access
Moving from or into an upper-floor apartment costs more than a ground-floor move. Carrying heavy furniture up and down stairs takes more time and manpower. If there's no elevator, or if elevator access is restricted, costs increase further. Long carries from the truck to the property also add to the cost.
5. Specialty Items
Pianos, safes, large appliances, artwork, antiques, aquariums, and other specialty items require extra equipment and expertise, attracting additional charges. Always disclose specialty items when requesting a quote.
6. Timing
Moving demand in Nairobi peaks at the end and beginning of months (when leases expire and begin), during school holidays, and during the dry season. During peak periods, prices may be slightly higher and availability more limited. Mid-month, weekday moves during off-peak seasons are typically the most affordable.
7. Packing Materials
If you use a professional packing service, packing materials (boxes, bubble wrap, tape, packing paper) add to the cost. If you pack yourself and source your own materials, this cost is eliminated or significantly reduced.
8. Insurance
Goods-in-transit insurance adds a small amount to the total cost but provides essential protection for your belongings. At Dial and Move Kenya, we strongly recommend insurance for all moves.
9. Storage
If you need to store your belongings before, during, or after your move, storage costs add to the total. Storage costs depend on the volume of items and the duration of storage.
10. The Moving Company You Choose
This is perhaps the most variable factor of all. Moving company prices in Nairobi range from very cheap (informal operators with no training, no insurance, and no accountability) to very expensive (large companies with inflated overheads). Dial and Move Kenya occupies the sweet spot: the lowest prices in the professional moving market, with full training, proper equipment, and insurance coverage.

Part 3: Office Moving Prices in Nairobi
Office moves are more complex than residential moves. They involve not just furniture but also IT equipment, filing systems, sensitive documents, and the critical need to minimize business downtime. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of office moving prices in Nairobi.
What Makes Office Moves Different
Office moves require systematic dismantling and labeling of workstations, careful handling of IT equipment (computers, servers, printers, networking equipment), secure transport of confidential documents, coordination with IT teams for disconnection and reconnection, and often weekend or after-hours execution to minimize business disruption.
Small Office Move (Up to 10 Workstations)
A small office with up to 10 workstations, a reception area, and a small meeting room.
Within Nairobi: KES 15,000 – KES 30,000
With full packing service: KES 22,000 – KES 42,000
Medium Office Move (10–30 Workstations)
A medium office with 10–30 workstations, multiple meeting rooms, a reception area, and a server room.
Within Nairobi: KES 30,000 – KES 60,000
With full packing service: KES 45,000 – KES 85,000
Large Office Move (30–100 Workstations)
A large office with 30–100 workstations, multiple departments, conference rooms, and significant IT infrastructure.
Within Nairobi: KES 60,000 – KES 150,000
With full packing service: KES 90,000 – KES 200,000
Corporate / Enterprise Office Move (100+ Workstations)
Large corporate moves involving entire floors or buildings, multiple departments, and complex logistics.
Within Nairobi: KES 150,000 – KES 500,000+
Pricing for enterprise moves is always customized based on a detailed assessment.
What's Included in Our Office Moving Service
Our office moving service includes pre-move survey and planning, systematic dismantling and labeling of all workstations, careful packing of IT equipment (with anti-static materials), secure transport of documents and files, loading and transport in enclosed trucks, reassembly of all workstations at the new location, placement of furniture and equipment according to your floor plan, and post-move quality check.
Weekend and After-Hours Office Moves
Most businesses prefer to move over a weekend to minimize disruption. Dial and Move Kenya offers weekend and after-hours office moves at competitive rates. Weekend moves may attract a small premium of 10–15% over weekday rates, but the savings in business downtime far outweigh this additional cost.
Why Dial and Move Kenya Is Nairobi's Cheapest for Office Moves
Our office moving prices are the most competitive in Nairobi's professional moving market. We achieve this through efficient planning, right-sized teams, and a systematic approach that minimizes the time required for each move.

Packing, dismantling, assembly, and insurance are available as add-ons.
Long-Distance Moving Tips
Book 3–4 weeks in advance for long-distance moves to ensure availability and allow adequate planning time. Start early — long-distance moves should begin at 5–6 AM to allow the truck to reach the destination before dark. Confirm destination access — provide detailed information about your destination address, including road conditions and access for large trucks. Arrange utilities in advance — ensure electricity, water, and other utilities are connected at your destination before moving day.
Why Dial and Move Kenya Is Nairobi's Cheapest for Long-Distance Moves
Our long-distance moving prices are the most competitive in Kenya's professional moving market. We achieve this through efficient route planning, right-sized vehicles, and our dual presence in both Nairobi and Meru — which allows us to optimize the Nairobi–Meru route in particular. We also coordinate return loads where possible, reducing the cost of the return trip and passing these savings on to our clients.
Part 5: International Moving Prices from Nairobi
International moves are the most complex and expensive type of relocation. Moving your belongings from Kenya to another country involves customs clearance, international shipping, documentation, and compliance with the destination country's import regulations. Here is a comprehensive overview of international moving costs from Nairobi.
How International Moving Is Priced
International moving is typically priced based on volume (cubic meters or cubic feet) rather than weight. The main cost components are:
Packing and preparation: Professional packing of all items for international transport, including custom crating for fragile and high-value items.
Local transport: Moving your packed belongings from your Nairobi home to the port or airport.
Shipping costs: The cost of shipping your container or airfreight consignment to the destination country.
Destination charges: Customs clearance, port handling, and local delivery at the destination.
Insurance: International moving insurance is essential and typically costs 1–3% of the declared value of your belongings.
Documentation: Preparation of customs documentation, inventory lists, and other required paperwork.
Sea Freight vs. Air Freight
Sea freight is significantly cheaper than air freight but takes much longer — typically 3–6 weeks to most destinations. It is the preferred option for full household moves.
Air freight is faster (typically 3–7 days) but much more expensive. It is typically used for urgent shipments, small volumes, or high-value items that cannot wait for sea freight.
International Moving Price Ranges from Nairobi
Nairobi to United Kingdom (sea freight, 1-bedroom): KES 180,000 – KES 320,000
Nairobi to United Kingdom (sea freight, 3-bedroom): KES 380,000 – KES 650,000
Nairobi to United States (sea freight, 1-bedroom): KES 220,000 – KES 380,000
Nairobi to United States (sea freight, 3-bedroom): KES 450,000 – KES 750,000

Nairobi to South Africa (sea freight, 3-bedroom): KES 220,000 – KES 380,000
Nairobi to Tanzania/Uganda (road freight, 1-bedroom): KES 60,000 – KES 120,000
Nairobi to Tanzania/Uganda (road freight, 3-bedroom): KES 130,000 – KES 250,000
Note: International moving prices are highly variable and depend on current shipping rates, fuel surcharges, currency exchange rates, and destination-specific charges. These are indicative ranges only. Contact Dial and Move Kenya for a current, accurate international moving quote.
What You Need for an International Move from Kenya
Customs documentation: A detailed inventory of all items being shipped, with estimated values. This is required for customs clearance at both the Kenyan and destination ends.
Proof of residence: Documentation proving your residence in Kenya and your new residence in the destination country.
Work permit or visa: If you're moving for work, your work permit or visa documentation may be required for customs purposes.
Prohibited items list: Every country has a list of items that cannot be imported. Ensure you're aware of the destination country's prohibited items list before packing.
Insurance: International moving insurance is essential. Ensure your policy covers the full replacement value of your belongings.
How Dial and Move Kenya Supports International Moves
While Dial and Move Kenya specializes in domestic moves within Kenya, we support international moves by providing professional packing and preparation of your belongings for international transport, local transport from your Nairobi home to the port or airport, coordination with international freight forwarders and shipping companies, and documentation support for the Kenyan customs clearance process. We work with trusted international moving partners to ensure a seamless end-to-end experience for clients moving abroad.
Part 6: Storage Service Prices in Nairobi
Storage services are an increasingly important part of the moving industry in Nairobi. Whether you need short-term storage during a move, long-term storage for items you don't have space for, or secure storage for business inventory, Dial and Move Kenya offers flexible, affordable storage solutions.
When Do You Need Storage?
Storage is commonly needed in the following situations:
Gap between move-out and move-in: If your new home or office isn't ready when you need to vacate your current property, storage bridges the gap.
Downsizing: If you're moving to a smaller property and don't have space for all your belongings, storage allows you to keep items you're not ready to part with.
Renovation: If your new home needs renovation before you can move in, storage keeps your belongings safe during the work.
Seasonal storage: Storing seasonal items (holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, garden furniture) that you don't need year-round.
Business storage: Storing excess inventory, equipment, or documents that don't fit in your current office space.
International move preparation: Storing belongings while you finalize your international move arrangements.
Types of Storage Available
Self-storage: You have direct access to your storage unit and can add or remove items at any time. Ideal for clients who need regular access to their stored items.
Managed storage: Your items are stored in a secure facility managed by the storage provider. Access is by appointment. Typically cheaper than self-storage and more secure.
Container storage: Your items are packed into a dedicated container that is stored in a secure yard. Ideal for large volumes of items.
Storage Prices in Nairobi (Dial and Move Kenya)
Small storage unit (up to 5 cubic meters — suitable for bedsitter/1-bedroom contents):
KES 3,000 – KES 5,000 per month
Medium storage unit (5–15 cubic meters — suitable for 2–3 bedroom contents):
KES 5,000 – KES 10,000 per month
Large storage unit (15–30 cubic meters — suitable for 4–5 bedroom contents):
KES 10,000 – KES 18,000 per month
Extra-large / container storage (30+ cubic meters — suitable for office or large villa contents):
KES 18,000 – KES 35,000 per month
Document and archive storage (per box per month):
KES 150 – KES 300 per box per month
Short-term storage (1–7 days):
KES 500 – KES 2,000 per day depending on volume
What's Included in Our Storage Service
Our storage service includes secure, access-controlled storage facilities, protection from weather and pests, inventory management (we maintain a record of all items in storage), insurance coverage for stored items, flexible access arrangements, and transport to and from the storage facility (charged separately based on distance and volume).
Storage Tips
Inventory everything before storage: Create a detailed inventory of all items going into storage. This makes retrieval easier and is essential for insurance purposes.
Pack properly for storage: Items going into long-term storage should be properly packed and protected. Use quality boxes, wrap fragile items carefully, and use moisture-absorbing silica gel packets to protect against humidity.
Label everything clearly: Label all boxes and items clearly so you can find what you need without unpacking everything.
Don't store prohibited items: Flammable materials, perishable food, live animals, and illegal items cannot be stored in our facilities.
Consider insurance: Ensure your stored items are covered by insurance. Dial and Move Kenya offers storage insurance as part of our service.
Why Dial and Move Kenya Offers Nairobi's Most Affordable Storage
Our storage prices are the most competitive in Nairobi's professional storage market. We achieve this through efficient facility management, right-sized storage solutions, and a commitment to making professional storage accessible to everyone. Whether you need to store a few boxes for a week or an entire household for six months, we have a solution that fits your budget.
Part 7: Why Dial and Move Kenya Is Nairobi's Cheapest Moving Company
We've made a bold claim throughout this guide: that Dial and Move Kenya is Nairobi's cheapest professional moving company. Let us explain exactly why this is true and what it means for you.
What "Cheapest" Means — and What It Doesn't
When we say we're Nairobi's cheapest moving company, we mean we offer the lowest prices in the professional moving market — among companies that provide trained staff, proper equipment, enclosed trucks, and insurance coverage. We are not competing with informal operators who offer rock-bottom prices by cutting corners on safety, training, and accountability. Those operators are cheap in price but expensive in consequences.
What we offer is something different: professional quality at the lowest possible price. We've achieved this through years of operational refinement, efficient systems, and a genuine commitment to making professional moving accessible to every Nairobi resident and business.
How We Keep Our Prices the Lowest
Operational Efficiency: We've refined our moving processes over years of experience to eliminate waste and maximize efficiency. Our teams work faster and smarter than competitors, reducing the labor hours required for each move and passing these savings on to clients.
Right-Sized Solutions: We match the team size and truck size precisely to each move. We don't send a 7-tonne truck for a 1-bedroom apartment move. This precision eliminates unnecessary costs.
No Unnecessary Overheads: We run a lean operation without the inflated overheads of larger companies. We don't have expensive showrooms, large administrative teams, or unnecessary layers of management. Our focus is on delivering great moves at great prices.
Volume and Efficiency: We complete a high volume of moves, which allows us to spread our fixed costs across more clients and offer lower per-move prices.
Local Knowledge: Our deep knowledge of Nairobi's roads, neighborhoods, and logistics means we plan more efficient routes, avoid traffic delays, and complete moves faster than competitors who don't know the city as well.
Transparent Pricing: We don't inflate our initial quotes and then add charges on moving day. Our quotes are accurate and comprehensive, which means clients know exactly what they're paying and there are no surprises.
The Dial and Move Kenya Price Promise
We are so confident in our pricing that we offer a simple promise: show us a written quote from another professional moving company in Nairobi for the same services, and we will match or beat it. We don't just claim to be the cheapest — we back it up.
What You Get with Dial and Move Kenya

Part 8: How to Get the Best Moving Price in Nairobi
Even with the most affordable moving company, there are strategies you can use to further reduce your moving costs. Here are our top tips for getting the best possible price on your Nairobi move.
1. Declutter Aggressively
The less you move, the less you pay. Go through every room before the move and get rid of anything you don't need. Sell valuable items on Jiji or Facebook Marketplace. Donate usable items to charity. Dispose of the rest. A thorough declutter can reduce your moving volume by 20–40%, with a corresponding reduction in cost.
2. Pack Yourself
Professional packing is convenient and reduces damage risk, but it adds cost. If you're on a tight budget, packing your own boxes can save KES 5,000–40,000 depending on the size of your move. Start packing non-essential items 2–3 weeks before moving day.
3. Source Free Packing Materials
Ask supermarkets, shops, and friends for spare cardboard boxes. Use clothing, towels, and linens to wrap fragile items. Collect newspaper for wrapping. These strategies can save KES 2,000–10,000 in packing material costs.
4. Move Mid-Month on a Weekday
End-of-month and weekend moves attract higher demand and sometimes higher prices. Moving mid-month on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday is typically the most affordable option.
5. Book Early
Last-minute moves cost more. Book 2–3 weeks in advance for local moves and 3–4 weeks for long-distance moves to secure the best rates and availability.
6. Be Flexible on Your Date
If you have flexibility on your moving date, let us know. We may be able to offer a better rate on a date that works well for our schedule.
7. Dismantle What You Can
If you're comfortable with basic DIY, dismantling your own furniture before the movers arrive reduces the time (and cost) of your move. Keep all hardware in labeled bags and take photos before dismantling.
8. Get a Proper Assessment
Always request a pre-move assessment rather than accepting a quote based on a rough description. An accurate assessment leads to an accurate quote — and prevents surprise charges on moving day.
9. Bundle Services
If you need packing, moving, and storage, bundling these services with Dial and Move Kenya is typically cheaper than using separate providers for each.
10. Ask About Our Price Match Promise
If you've received a lower quote from another professional moving company, share it with us. We'll match or beat it.
Part 9: Moving Price Comparison — Dial and Move Kenya vs. The Market
To illustrate our price advantage, here is a comparison of typical moving prices in Nairobi across different market segments:
Informal operators (unregistered, uninsured): Very low prices (KES 2,000–8,000 for most moves) but with significant risks: untrained movers, no insurance, hidden charges, unreliability, and potential theft. Not recommended.
Mid-market moving companies: Moderate prices (typically 20–40% higher than Dial and Move Kenya) with variable quality. Some are good; many are inconsistent.
Premium moving companies: High prices (typically 50–100% higher than Dial and Move Kenya) with premium service. Good quality but not accessible to most budgets.
