Moving in Abu Dhabi, Answered
Costs, insurance, booking, areas, storage — the questions every Abu Dhabi resident asks before a move, answered by the people who do it daily.
As a guide: studio and 1-bedroom apartment moves start from AED 600–900, 2–3 bedroom apartments from AED 1,200–2,000, and villas from AED 2,500 depending on size, access and distance. Every Al Ghazal Rapids quote is fixed after a free survey — the price we agree is the price you pay, with no moving-day surprises.
Three ways: fill out our online quote form, call +971 50 152 0073, or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us your current location, destination, home or office size and preferred date. We respond within the hour during the day, and free on-site or WhatsApp-video surveys are available across all Abu Dhabi areas.
Book 3–7 days ahead for weekday residential moves, 1–2 weeks for weekends, month-end dates and office relocations. Urgent move? We keep crews on standby for same-day and next-day moves across Abu Dhabi, subject to availability — it is always worth a call.
Cash, bank transfer, credit/debit cards and online payment. A small deposit confirms your booking, with the balance due on completion. Corporate clients can arrange invoicing with agreed payment terms.
Yes. Every item we handle is covered by comprehensive transit insurance — from packing and loading through transport and unloading. Combined with our trained crews and premium materials, this is why our damage claims are so rare, and why 74+ customers rate us 4.9 stars.
Complete packing is included or optional at your choice: double-wall cartons, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes, mattress covers and custom crates for fragile pieces. Choose full packing, partial packing (kitchen and fragiles only is popular), or have materials delivered to pack yourself.
Yes — specialty items are a core strength. Pianos and safes get specialised equipment and extra crew; artwork, mirrors and chandeliers get custom crating; antiques are blanket-wrapped and inventoried. Mention specialty items when booking so we prepare the right crew and materials.
Always — beds, wardrobes, dining sets, majlis furniture and flat-pack items are disassembled, protected, and rebuilt at your new home as a standard part of every move. Wall-mounted TVs, curtains and light fittings can be handled on request.
All of them. Our base is Al Nahyan, and we move daily across Khalifa City A & B, Al Reem Island, Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, Al Raha Beach & Gardens, Al Reef, Mussafah, Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Shakhbout City, Al Wahda, Al Bateen, Al Mushrif, Corniche, Al Maqtaa, Al Falah, Bani Yas, Al Ghadeer and Al Ain — plus moves to and from Dubai and the other emirates.
Yes. Abu Dhabi towers typically require move permits and service-elevator bookings, and gated communities need truck gate-passes. We arrange these daily — tell us your buildings and we coordinate with management at both ends so moving day starts on time.
Often, yes. We keep crews available for same-day and emergency moves across Abu Dhabi — small apartment moves and single-item shifts are the easiest to fit in. Call or WhatsApp +971 50 152 0073 and we will confirm availability immediately.
Regularly. Inter-emirate moves between Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates run with the same insured, door-to-door service — usually completed in a single day.
Yes — between-tenancy storage is one of our most-used services. We collect and professionally wrap your belongings, store them in 24/7 CCTV-monitored, pest-controlled facilities with a signed inventory, and deliver the day your new home is ready. Weekly and monthly rates available.
That is how we do most office moves: evenings, weekends and public holidays, with a dedicated project manager, labelled crates for staff, and IT-safe handling — so your business closes Thursday evening and opens Sunday morning in the new office.
