Moving house in the UAE is priced on volume, access and timing. Prices peak at the end of the month and between June and August, and booking mid-month and mid-week can save 10 to 20 percent.
What it costs in 2026
- Studio or one-bedroom flat: AED 400 to 1,200
- Two-bedroom villa: AED 1,500 to 3,500
- Three- or four-bedroom villa: AED 2,500 to 6,000
- Packing, added on top: AED 300 to 1,200
These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.
What a proper service includes
Ask for a quote after a video survey, not a phone estimate from a list of items. A reputable mover shows its trade licence, names the vehicles and crew, states what insurance applies in transit and takes a deposit of no more than 20 to 30 percent.
Most towers need a move-in or move-out permit and a refundable deposit of roughly AED 500 to 2,000, booked with the lift in advance.
Around the move
- Register the new tenancy contract (Ejari in Dubai, Tawtheeq in Abu Dhabi).
- Transfer electricity and water (DEWA in Dubai).
- Update your Emirates ID and vehicle address.
- Keep the final electricity and water bill, since landlords often ask for it before returning the security deposit.
Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name. See typical prices in our price guide.

Frequently asked questions
What licence should a moving company have?
A trade licence (DET in Dubai, ADDED in Abu Dhabi, SEDD in Sharjah) with a furniture moving or goods transport activity, and trucks registered for goods transport. Ask for the licence number, check it on the register and confirm which insurance covers damage in transit before you pay a deposit.
How much does it cost to move a 2-bedroom villa?
Typically AED 1,500 to 3,500 within Dubai in 2026, including dismantling and reassembly of main furniture. Full packing adds AED 300 to 1,200, storage AED 150 to 600 a month, and a move between emirates, such as Dubai to Sharjah or Abu Dhabi, adds AED 200 to 800. Moves within the other emirates are often similar or somewhat lower in price.
What are the red flags with movers?
Be careful with a price by phone without asking what you own, an unbranded pickup at half the price, a different truck from the one booked and a large deposit to a personal account. A crew demanding extra money before unloading is a known pattern.
Do I need a permit to move out of a tower?
Most buildings require a move-out permit from the management, often with a refundable deposit of AED 500 to 2,000, and restrict moving to daytime on working days. Book the permit and the lift a week ahead, and carry a copy for the security guard.
