Hand truck, furniture dollies, moving blankets, cordless drill.
2 matching devices in Munich right now
What you need
A move needs little, but the right things: a hand truck for boxes and the washing machine, dollies for the wardrobe, blankets against scratches and a cordless drill for shelves and the bed.
How to go about it
- Pack and label boxes; heavy things in small boxes.
- Take the bed, shelves and wardrobe apart the day before with the cordless drill; screws in a bag taped to the piece.
- On moving day: heavy things first — washing machine and fridge on the hand truck, the wardrobe on dollies.
- In the new flat, build the bed first. The rest can wait.
One day for the move itself; collect the equipment the day before and return it the day after.

What a day costs
Per device, the range a renter pays for one day at the catalogue's suggested prices — and, for comparison, what the cheapest device of that kind costs new.
| Device | Rent, one day | Buy new |
|---|---|---|
| Hand truck | 9–14 € | from 70 € |
| Furniture dollies | 9–11 € | from 60 € |
| Moving blankets | 9–11 € | from 80 € |
| Cordless drill | 11–15 € | from 110 € |
| All together | 38–51 € | from 320 € |
Catalogue ranges, not current offers: what a neighbour actually asks is on their listing. The new price is the approximate value of the cheapest model in the catalogue.
Rent or buy?
None of it is worth buying. A hand truck for one move every five years is in the way the rest of the time, and moving blankets end up in the clothes bank afterwards. The cordless drill is the exception — if you already own one, you need it here.
What matters
A stair-climbing hand truck carries 200 kilograms up the stairs — old buildings without a lift. Ask the owner for a handover the day before, so everything is ready when the helpers arrive. Back usually the day after.
