When you book a moving service with GIA Service ApS, you do not need to specify a van size. We assess the volume of your move and send the right vehicle automatically. But understanding what fits in each vehicle helps you describe your belongings accurately — which means a more accurate quote and no surprises on moving day.
This guide covers the vehicles we actually use in Copenhagen — our streets, our prices, our rules. Not a generic guide copied from another country.
The vehicles GIA Service ApS uses
Small van — single items and same-day deliveries
Used for single item deliveries, small junk removal jobs and same-day collections from any Copenhagen store. Ideal for one sofa, a mattress or up to 15 boxes.
Best for: sofa removal, mattress removal, store-to-home delivery from IKEA Taastrup or IKEA Gentofte, small same-day jobs.
Fits in: all Copenhagen streets including tight Nørrebro and Vesterbro side streets.
Large van — 1 to 2 room moves and regular junk removal
Our most commonly used vehicle. Box length 4.4 metres. Handles 1–2 room apartment moves, multi-item junk removal and regular furniture deliveries.
Important: items longer than 4.4 metres require special arrangement — always tell us the exact dimensions in advance. For items up to 5.5 metres we can leave the left tailgate open and secure with a 1-metre overhang, which is permissible under Danish road regulations for properly secured cargo.
Best for: 1-bedroom apartment moves, full junk removal from a 2-room flat, same-day delivery with assembly.
Capacity: 15–30 boxes plus key furniture.
Moving truck — full apartments and house moves
For complete moves of 2–4 rooms, estate clearances and large junk removal jobs. Handles the full contents of a Copenhagen apartment in a single load — furniture, white goods, boxes and all.
Best for: 2–4 room apartment moves, full estate clearances, large office clearances.
Capacity: 30–60 boxes plus complete apartment furniture.
All our fixed moving prices are based on this vehicle.
What to tell us so we send the right vehicle
When you contact us for a quote, give us:
– Number of rooms being moved
– Any oversized items — sofa length, wardrobe height, carpet dimensions
– Approximate number of boxes (a rough estimate is fine)
– Very heavy items — anything over 80 kg, such as a piano, safe or gym equipment
– Floor number at both addresses, and whether a lift is available
– Any access issues — narrow gate, no parking, steep staircase
You do not need to calculate cubic metres or specify a vehicle type. Give us this list and we handle the rest.
Fixed moving prices in Copenhagen — excl. 25% Danish VAT
GIA Service ApS charges a fixed price based on apartment size — not by the hour. The price in the quote is the price on the invoice.
Up to 30 m² — DKK 3,985 excl. VAT (DKK 4,981 incl. VAT)
Up to 50 m² — DKK 5,985 excl. VAT (DKK 7,481 incl. VAT)
Up to 70 m² — DKK 7,985 excl. VAT (DKK 9,981 incl. VAT)
Up to 90 m² — DKK 10,695 excl. VAT (DKK 13,369 incl. VAT)
Up to 110 m² — DKK 13,995 excl. VAT (DKK 17,494 incl. VAT)
Additional charges confirmed in every quote:
Floor surcharge: DKK 150 per floor above street level
Heavy item surcharge: applies for items over 80 kg
Weekend rate: approximately 15% higher than weekday rate
Furniture lift (flyttelift): DKK 2,500–4,000 when required for large items to upper floors
When do you need a furniture lift (flyttelift)?
A furniture lift is an external hoist that lifts large items vertically outside the building directly to an upper floor window or balcony. You need one when:
– An item is too large to carry through the stairwell or building lift
– The item is very heavy and stairwell carry is not safe
– The destination is 4th floor or above with a non-modular heavy item
We arrange furniture lifts through specialist contractors and include the cost in your quote — typically DKK 2,500–4,000 depending on height and hours. We confirm whether one is needed once you tell us the item dimensions and floor number.
