Moving costs in Nairobi are not one size fits all. These are the factors that shape your final price.
The number of rooms and the total volume is the single biggest factor in your price. A bedsitter costs far less than a four bedroom family home.
Relocating within the same estate costs less than crossing Nairobi, and routes to other counties are priced on a fixed route basis.
Packing changes the price according to the materials, quantity of items and work required. The table identifies estimates with and without packing. Confirm materials, wrapping and unpacking in your quotation.
End of month dates, from the 25th to the 31st, and weekends are the busiest and most expensive times to relocate in Nairobi. Mid month weekdays are typically cheaper.
Upper floors without a lift, narrow staircases and difficult access take longer and affect the final figure. Mention floor and access when requesting your quote.
Pianos, safes, large appliances, artwork, and other specialist items require extra handling and affect the total moving price. Always declare specialist items when requesting your quote.
Confirmed in Your Quotation
Compare quotations for the same inventory, route and access conditions. Check the services included, any exclusions, the handling arrangements and the payment terms before choosing a mover.
Check that the quotation lists collection and delivery details, inventory, access requirements and the agreed price. Ask how changes to the scope would be priced.
Check whether boxes, wrapping, packing labour, furniture handling and unpacking are included. Compare like-for-like services.
Ask what cover applies, its limits and exclusions, and how damage should be reported. Obtain the relevant terms before booking.
Confirm the crew, vehicle, lift bookings, floor access and loading arrangements so the quotation reflects the actual work.
