In many cities, you need a permit to park a moving truck or use a moving lift. We’ll check what’s required and take care of it for you, hassle-free.
In cities such as Amsterdam and Haarlem , you can’t just drive around with a moving truck or moving lift in front of someone’s door; municipalities want to keep traffic safe and flowing.
A moving permit is official permission from the municipality to temporarily place a moving truck or moving lift on public roads.
Applying for a moving permit often raises questions. Below, we answer the most common ones so you know exactly what to expect.
That varies by municipality. In Amsterdam , you must apply for the permit at least 6 business days in advance. In Haarlem , the application is usually processed within 2–3 business days. We recommend arranging the permit at least a week and a half in advance so that we have time to coordinate everything properly with the municipality.
Yes, you can, but the process is often time-consuming and error-prone. An incomplete application can lead to delays or even rejection. That’s why many customers prefer to leave this to us. We know exactly what each municipality needs and submit the application correctly right away.
No, our fixed fee of €50 excl. VAT is for the complete application process and placement of traffic signs. The municipality charges additional fees on top of this, which vary by city.
If the application is submitted too late, the moving truck or lift is not allowed on the street. This can lead to fines or halting of the move. We therefore submit all applications immediately after approval, so the permit is guaranteed to be ready on time.
Not always. If you have your own driveway, private property, or enough space without blocking a public road, no permit is required. We always check this with you in advance so you never pay more than necessary.
Yes. We also handle applications in surrounding municipalities like Heemstede, Hoofddorp and Leiden. The rules differ per municipality, but we know exactly where to go and what’s needed.
