Do prices include VAT?
No. Published prices exclude 5% VAT.
Is it cheaper to move on a weekday?
Often, yes. Weekends and the last days of the month are the busiest moving days in Dubai, so weekday dates give more flexibility.
Do I pay extra for packing materials?
Standard packing materials are included in our full-service moves. Specialist crating or very large quantities of materials are quoted separately.
