Why hiring a professional moving company is worthwhile for students

In this article, you will learn why a moving service for students makes sense and what specific benefits you can expect.

Less stress, more predictability

If you've ever moved house yourself, you know how quickly a manageable project can turn into a full-time job. Organizing boxes, finding helpers, dismantling furniture, renting a van—all of this takes time and energy. If you're also taking exams or working, you can quickly reach your breaking point.

A professional moving company will take care of many of these tasks for you. An experienced team will accompany you from the initial planning meeting to the handover of your apartment. You can concentrate on your studies and rest assured that everything will run smoothly.

Sustainable moving with reusable boxes

Students in particular often value sustainability. Conventional moving boxes are inexpensive, but usually only suitable for a few uses and end up in the trash. Professional providers such as Intermove therefore rely on reusable plastic boxes. These are more robust, environmentally friendly, and easier to stack.

If you wish, you can also receive additional support with clearing out and sorting through your belongings. Whether it's donations, resale, or proper disposal—with the right help, your move will be efficient and resource-friendly.

Professional helpers save time and protect your inventory

Dismantling furniture, packing technical equipment, securing fragile items—it's harder than it looks. Our professionals know exactly how to handle, load, and protect your belongings. That way, everything arrives safely at your new home.

The advantage: you don't have to organize friends who might drop out at short notice, and you save yourself discussions about scratched shelves or damaged appliances. Instead, you get a well-coordinated team that knows what to do.

Cheaper than expected: Hidden costs when moving house yourself

Many students believe that moving companies are generally too expensive. But if you add up all the costs of moving yourself, you'll quickly see that this isn't necessarily the case:

  • Rental cost for the van

  • Gasoline, mileage allowances, supplemental insurance

  • Time you can't spend on studying or working

  • Packaging materials, furniture repairs, and potential damage

Professional providers such as Intermove offer transparent fixed prices or flexible packages—making it easier to plan ahead. You know what to expect right from the start.

Smart solution: Combine moves and save money

In university towns in particular, many students move at the same time. A clever concept is known as group moves. This involves combining several small moves so that the transport costs can be shared. At the same time, this protects the environment as fewer trips are necessary.

Intermove plans these trips efficiently and ensures that even your small move goes smoothly—whether you want to transport just a few pieces of furniture or an entire apartment.

Special support for international students

Those who come to Germany from abroad to study often face additional hurdles. Language, a lack of contacts, and unfamiliarity with local procedures can make the move difficult. Intermove supports international students with language support, organizational assistance, and local expertise.

We help you communicate with landlords, advise you on the necessary documents, and organize parking reservations or key handovers. This allows you to focus entirely on getting started in your new country without worrying about logistics.


Conclusion: A professional move is worth the money—even for students

Moving doesn't have to be chaotic, expensive, or stressful. Especially as a student, when time and money are limited, it's worth working with a professional moving company. You'll benefit from clear planning, fair prices, and a service that fits your daily schedule.

Whether you're moving to a new shared apartment or relocating to a completely new area, we at Intermove are here to help you make your move efficient, sustainable, and student-friendly.
