Moving single item

To move a single item in Dubai, contact a specialized single-item moving company like Vani Movers to get quotes from various providers. Costs start from approximately AED 100–200 for smaller items and can increase significantly for large or specialized items like pianos or artwork. You can get an accurate quote by contacting movers and providing photos of the item, the distance it needs to travel, and any additional services like packing or dismantling.

While a company like Vani Movers is an option, it is not the only provider for moving a single item in Dubai. Many local companies and service aggregators specialize in small-scale moves and offer competitive pricing. The cost for moving a single item typically ranges from AED 100 to AED 400, depending on the size and travel distance. 

How to get quotes

To find and compare quotes for moving a single item, use online service marketplaces and contact individual movers directly.

• Use service comparison websites. Websites like ServiceMarket and Wise Move allow you to submit details of your move and receive multiple quotes from licensed movers, making it easy to compare prices.
• Contact movers directly via WhatsApp. Many local “man with a van” services and small moving companies, such as Abu Muhammad Movers, advertise their WhatsApp numbers for quick and free quotes. Providing a photo of the item will help get an accurate estimate.
• Check local listings. Platforms like Dubizzle feature numerous small-scale moving services that can often be booked for single items.

Factors that influence the cost

Urgency: Same-day or rush service for an item move may come with a higher fee

Size and weight: Larger and heavier items will naturally cost more to move, especially if they require multiple movers or special equipment.

Distance: The price increases for moves covering a greater distance, particularly for inter-emirate transfers (e.g., Dubai to Abu Dhabi).

Accessibility: Your quote can increase if the item is in a location that is difficult to access, such as a high-floor apartment without an elevator.

Additional services: Charges for extras like professional packing, furniture disassembly, and reassembly will be added to the final price.
