Moving is one of the traditional sectors of road freight transport that the CNR has been studying since 1997.

In 2023, the CNR conducted a new survey on private removals and business relocations carried out using diesel-powered carriers. 40-50 metres³ and light commercial diesel vehicles 20-30 metres³.

In this new 2025 edition of the reference cost tables for private removals and business relocations, costs are updated to reflect economic conditions in July 2025. 

Since 2019, when the cost grid for these two specific activities was first published, moving companies have been experiencing significant cost inflation. All areas are affected: staff salaries, vehicle maintenance, and equipment purchases. 

The cost price of “standard” private household removals and business relocations presented in the study will therefore increase by +24.7% between 2019 and 2025.
