Move Cost Estimator

What will your move actually cost?

Pick your destination, roughly how much you're moving, and the level of service you want. You'll get an illustrative AED range in seconds - a starting point for planning, not a substitute for the exact quote a real survey gives you.

Standard

  • Dedicated container for your shipment
  • Full professional packing

How these ranges are built

Nothing here is invented. Every band is anchored to typical UAE-outbound shipment pricing for that destination and volume, then adjusted for service level.

Volume

Your home size sets a typical shipment volume in cubic metres (cbm) — the same measure freight is actually priced on. A 2-bedroom home runs roughly 20–30 cbm; a 4-bedroom villa, 45–60+ cbm.

Destination

Distance, route, and available consolidation vary by corridor — a UAE–Saudi move ships by road in days; a UAE–Canada move ships by sea over several weeks. That difference shows up directly in the band.

Service tier

Economy and Premium are set relative to Standard for that same destination and volume — reflecting shared vs. dedicated containers and the scope of packing and cover, not a different route or speed.

Caveat

These are planning ranges, not tariffs. Your actual quote depends on exact inventory, packing needs, declared value, seasonal freight rates, and delivery-address access.

Frequently asked questions

Is the number I see a real quote?

No — it's an illustrative planning range based on typical shipment costs for that destination, volume, and service level. Your exact price depends on your actual inventory, packing requirements, and current freight rates. Use it to budget, then request a free survey for a firm quote.

How do I know which home size to pick?

Go by your current home's bedroom count as a starting point — it's a reasonable proxy for shipment volume. If you're a heavy or light packer relative to a typical household that size, your actual volume (and cost) may land toward either end of the range.

Why is the same home size so much cheaper to Saudi Arabia than to Canada?

Route and mode matter as much as volume. A UAE–Saudi move typically goes by road freight over days; a UAE–Canada move goes by sea freight over several weeks, on a longer and less consolidated route. Both drive cost independently of how much you're shipping.

What's the difference between Economy and Standard?

Economy ships in a shared (LCL) container alongside other customers' goods, with lighter packing support and basic cover. Standard gives your shipment a dedicated container, full professional packing, and standard transit insurance — our most-booked tier for a reason.
