Moves fall on the hand-over dates of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December; short-stay changeovers happen all year, with more bookings during trade fairs, conferences and in summer.
Parking & access
In the Old Town vehicles are only allowed for loading and unloading, and parking across the city is usually paid or in the blue zone. We charge parking fees at cost; a parking permit for the day makes the job easier.
Many old flats in Bern have parquet floors, box windows and high ceilings; this affects the effort and is reflected in the quote.
