Milan is closer to Winterthur than Berlin is: roughly 290 kilometres, over the Gotthard or the San Bernardino. A move to northern Italy is therefore often possible in a single day, while Rome, Naples or Sicily need several days and different planning.
The real challenge in Italy is rarely the motorway. It is the last hundred metres. Many historic city centres are restricted traffic zones that may only be entered with a permit. On top of that come narrow lanes, inner courtyards and stairwells that were never built for large vehicles.
We clarify before moving day whether the destination lies in such a zone, how close the vehicle can get and whether an outside lift is needed. And because Switzerland is not an EU country, your household goods need a customs declaration with an inventory list.
The figures are guide values for pure driving time. How many days a move actually needs depends above all on how accessible the two homes are.
| Destination | Distance from Winterthur | Pure driving time | Usual schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milan | about 290 km | approx. 3.5 h | usually in one day |
| Turin | about 380 km | approx. 4.5 h | one to two days |
| Bologna | about 450 km | approx. 5 h | one to two days |
| Rome | about 870 km | approx. 9 h | two days |
| Naples | about 1’080 km | approx. 11 h | two to three days |
You tell us where the move is going and roughly when. That is enough for the first appointment.
We record the volume, the access at the Swiss address and anything that needs special handling.
Travel, crew, tolls and border formalities are included. What the quote says is what the invoice says.
We put the inventory list together with you and say which proofs the customs office wants to see.
Loading, the drive and, where the distance requires it, the overnight stop — all planned in advance.
Furniture goes to its place at the destination and is reassembled. Packing material we take away again.
For genuine household goods accompanying a change of residence into the EU, import duties are generally waived. For that to apply the papers have to be right and the conditions met — among them that you have already used the items for a certain period and that you really are moving your residence. We check your case before the transport.
| Factor | Why it counts | What you can influence |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | Determines vehicle size and team strength | Sort things out beforehand — we handle the disposal |
| Distance | Driving time, tolls and whether an overnight stop is needed | Nothing — but it makes quotes comparable |
| Accessibility | Floor, lift, carrying distances and access at both addresses | Secure a loading place early |
| Packing | Working time before the move; important on long routes | Choose a partial service, pack boxes yourself |
| Extra services | Storage, disposal, final cleaning, outside lift | Order only what you actually need |
Tell us the destination address and roughly when you want to move. We look at the Swiss home, record the volume and give you a fixed price including travel, tolls and customs.
