Parking on moving day

How to apply

Apply online for use of public space through the Eagle portal. Tick that you need traffic signs: the town prepares them once the permit is approved (within 5 working days). You collect the signs free of charge from the Technical department and return them on time, or have them placed for a fee.

When to applyApplying at least 7 calendar days before the start is free; 4 to 6 calendar days in advance: €35; 3 calendar days or less: €65. Approval within 5 working days.
CostFirst 7 calendar days of occupation free; then €95 per started block of 7 calendar days. Collecting and returning the signs yourself: free. Placement by the Technical department: €25 to €50 per placement, change or collection (ask the town for the exact amount).
Who places the signs?You (or your mover)

Return the signs to the town depot on the working day after the occupation. For a furniture or ladder lift, ask the town about the rules.

How it works

  1. 1
    Describe your move, once

    Route, floors, furniture, options and, if you like, up to 15 photos (rooms and access): about 3 minutes.

  2. 2
    Confirm your e-mail

    One click on the link we e-mail you confirms your request. It is checked, then passed to a mover.

  3. 3
    One verified mover receives your request

    They have 2 hours to accept it (counted between 8 am and 9 pm). A request confirmed between 9 pm and 8 am is passed to a mover from 8 am. If they decline or do not reply, your request goes to the next mover.

  4. 4
    You receive their quote through Movzo

    They send it within 5 hours (same hours). You accept or decline it; if it does not suit you, you can ask once for another mover.

  5. 5
    You deal directly with the mover

    Quote accepted: you receive their contact details and they receive yours. You agree and pay directly with them, then you leave a review after the move.

Good to know

Before you move

  • Parking permit: reserve the space with the municipality, at least 7 days ahead. See how it works
  • Furniture lift: from the 2nd floor without a lift, it often saves a lot of time.
  • Register your address with your new municipality within 8 working days; a local police officer will visit to confirm.
  • Dates: the end of the month and summer are busy. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
