2) How your Paris quote is calculated (the parts that matter most)

A Paris moving quote is mostly a labor time estimate. Distance matters, but access often matters more. The main drivers:

1. Volume (m³)
2. Floors (stairs vs elevator)
3. Elevator size (can it fit sofa/fridge/wardrobe?)
4. Carrying distance (truck-to-door)
5. Parking constraints (pickup + delivery)
6. Options (packing, disassembly, fragile handling)

3) Floors, elevator, carrying distance: the real “Paris difficulty”

Two addresses can be 3 km apart and still produce very different prices. Example: “2nd floor with elevator + truck at the door” vs “5th floor no elevator + 40 m carrying distance”.

Carrying distance scale

• 0–10 m: ideal
• 10–25 m: manageable
• 25–60 m: strong impact on time
• 60 m+: major impact

4) Parking in Paris: the hidden time (and cost) factor

Parking is often the biggest source of delays in Paris. If the truck cannot stop close, the team walks more and the move takes longer. When requesting a quote, the easiest thing you can do is to describe your street and where the truck can stop.

5) Paris ↔ Île-de-France (IDF) routes we cover

Common moves:

• Paris ↔ 92 (Hauts-de-Seine)
• Paris ↔ 93 (Seine-Saint-Denis)
• Paris ↔ 94 (Val-de-Marne)
• Paris ↔ 77/78/91/95 (outer Île-de-France)

On these routes, access at both ends is usually more important than kilometers.

6) Volume (m³) quick estimation

• Studio: 12–20 m³
• 1-bedroom: 20–30 m³
• 2-bedroom: 30–45 m³
• House: 45 m³+

Always mention a cellar/storage unit/garage: it can add several m³ and time.
