How much does it cost to move house in Hanoi?
A small Hanoi move of 10–15 boxes starts around 1,200,000₫, a standard 20–30 box move around 2,600,000₫, and a 40–60 box family move around 4,700,000₫. A large apartment of 60–100 boxes starts near 7,000,000₫ and a villa move 12,000,000₫. App-based services quote from 1,700,000₫ for an apartment and 3,000,000₫ for a one-storey house.
How much is moving from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City?
An intercity move between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City runs roughly 10,000,000–40,000,000₫ depending on volume and service level. The spread is wide because it depends heavily on whether you want a full packing service and how much furniture needs dismantling. Get a written quote after a survey rather than working from the headline figure.
What extras do Hanoi movers charge?
Expect packing materials to add 5–10%, full packing 15–30%, and unpacking another 10–20% on top of the base price. Furniture dismantling and reassembly is commonly 300,000–700,000₫ per item, stairs add 5–15%, and a narrow alley or long carry adds 5–10% each. In Hanoi's Old Quarter the access surcharges matter more than most people expect.
How do I avoid being overcharged by a Hanoi mover?
Insist on a binding written quote after a photo survey or site visit, not a 'from' price over the phone. A low starting figure tells you almost nothing, because the access and packing surcharges are where the bill actually forms. Confirm the insurance and damage policy in writing too, and whether packaging removal is included.
