Question 1

How much does moving within Vienna cost?

Accepted Answer

A local move in Vienna costs between €450 for a 1-room apartment and up to €2.600 for a larger house or a 4-room apartment. The exact price depends largely on the volume of the move, the number of floors, the availability of the lift, the distance and the service booked.

Question 2

How do I apply for a temporary parking space reservation (no parking) in Vienna and how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

In Vienna, the municipal department 46 (MA46) is responsible for temporary parking space reservations, which are often required as a parking ban. The application should ideally be submitted 2–3 weeks before the moving date. The official fee is usually between €30 and €70 and costs of €80 to €180 can also be incurred for the installation of the relevant signage by a specialist company. In total, you should expect to pay around €110 to €250 per parking ban.

Question 3

What special features are there when moving to old Viennese buildings or neighborhoods like the inner city?

Accepted Answer

Old Viennese buildings, especially in districts such as the Innere Stadt (1.st), Neubau (7.th) or Josefstadt (8.th), are often characterized by high ceilings, but also narrow staircases and often a lack of elevators. This can make moving furniture, especially larger boxes or sofas, difficult and require additional labor or the use of a furniture lift. In the inner city and other central areas, access options for larger moving vehicles and general parking space are also very limited.

Question 4

What do I have to consider when changing my registration after moving to Vienna?

Accepted Answer

In Austria, after moving, you must register with the responsible registration authority (Magistratic District Office or Central Registration Office) within three days using a registration form. This applies to both the main residence and any secondary residence. The re-registration is free of charge. You can get the registration form online or directly from the authorities, and you will need an official document (e.g. passport) as well as proof of your new address (e.g. rental agreement).

Question 5

When is moving in Vienna particularly expensive?

Accepted Answer

As in most large cities, the summer months (July, August, September), the end of the month and weekends are the most popular and therefore most expensive times to move in Vienna. In addition, the start of the semester at the University of Vienna and other universities in the fall (and to a lesser extent in the spring) leads to increased demand for smaller moves.
