Full guide to mover services in Kyiv — from 350 UAH/hour, how many movers you need for furniture and appliances, surcharges, and how to order.

Quick answer

Movers in Kyiv cost 350 UAH/hour per person (minimum 2 hours — 700 UAH). A crew of 2 movers — 700 UAH/hour, of 3 — 1,050 UAH/hour. The price includes carrying your items, straps, and tools.

A professional mover is not just "someone who carries things". It's a worker with straps and experience moving heavy and bulky items, who knows how to get a wardrobe through a narrow doorway without breaking the mirror. Below is everything you need to know before ordering: prices, how many people you need for a specific job, and what the surcharges are.

How much do movers cost in Kyiv in 2026

Payment is hourly. Minimum order — 2 hours of work. Full rate grid — on the rates page.

Crew Price/hour Min. order Best suited for
1 mover 350 UAH/hour from 700 UAH → Boxes, small items, help with loading
2 movers 700 UAH/hour from 1,400 UAH → Sofa, fridge, washing machine, wardrobe
3 movers 1,050 UAH/hour from 2,100 UAH → 2–3-bedroom move, safe, piano, heavy furniture
Money-saving tip: more movers isn't always more expensive. A crew of 3 will handle a 2-bedroom move in 3 hours (3,150 UAH), while 2 movers do the same job in 5 hours (3,500 UAH). Faster and cheaper.

How many movers you need: table by task

The most common question. Here are the guidelines from our experience:

Task Movers Estimated time
10–20 boxes (with elevator) 1–2 1–2 hours
Sofa, armchair, mattress 2 1–2 hours
Fridge / washing machine 2 (side-by-side — 3) 1–2 hours
1-bedroom apartment move 2 3–4 hours
2-bedroom apartment move 2–3 4–6 hours
3-bedroom / office move 3+ 5–8 hours
Safe, piano, large wardrobe 3 1–3 hours
No elevator? Add one mover to the recommendation if the floor is higher than the 3rd. Stairs tire out the crew and slow the job down — a third person more than compensates for that.

We'll tell you the exact number over the phone in 2 minutes — just describe what we're moving and from which floor. For picking the right day and time, read the article when is the best time to order movers.

Surcharges: what for and how much

Rates are transparent — all surcharges are known before the work starts:

Service Price When it applies
Floors without an elevator 15 UAH/floor Per mover. Carrying to the 5th floor × 2 movers = +150 UAH
Heavy items 5 UAH/kg For items over 80 kg (safe, piano, machine tools)
Furniture disassembly/assembly (small) 400 UAH Sofa, bed, table, armchair
Furniture disassembly/assembly (large) 800 UAH Sliding wardrobe, kitchen set
Packing materials from 30 UAH Stretch wrap 500 UAH/roll, tape 100 UAH, boxes from 120 UAH each
Sample calculation: moving a sofa from the 4th floor without an elevator to a 2nd floor with an elevator. 2 movers × 2 hours = 1,400 UAH + carrying down 4 floors × 2 people × 15 UAH = 120 UAH. Total 1,520 UAH for the movers' work (vehicle billed separately).
