Why we exist
Most Dubai moves are quoted at AED 800 and invoiced at AED 1,900. Packing wasn't included. Nobody mentioned the wardrobe needed dismantling. The lift was never booked, so the crew waited three hours — and charged for it. We survey first, put the number in writing, and then we don't change it.

What we do
Nothing subcontracted to a labour supplier we cannot vouch for. The team that wraps your furniture is the team that rebuilds it.

“They booked the service lift with my building, brought their own floor protection and finished a full three-bedroom apartment by 4pm. The quote I was given at the survey was exactly what I paid.”Sarah M.3 BHK apartment, Dubai Marina → JVC
How it works
The same process on every job, whether it is a single sofa or a six-bedroom villa. You always know what happens next and who is doing it.
A surveyor visits, or you walk us through the property on a WhatsApp video call. Either way we see the volume, the access and the awkward pieces before quoting.
You receive an itemised, fixed-price quote within two hours — inclusive of materials, labour, transport and insurance. No hourly meter, no moving-day extras.
We lock your date and handle the building side: moving NOC, insurance certificate, service-lift reservation and community access permits at both properties.
Trained packers wrap everything in export-grade materials, number and label each carton by room, and record it on an inventory sheet you keep a copy of.
Floor, doorframe and lift protection goes down first. The load is strapped and braced, then transported in our own GPS-tracked vehicles — never subcontracted.
Cartons go to the right rooms, furniture is reassembled, appliances reconnected and TVs remounted. Packing debris leaves with us the same day.
Where we work
Crews based in Al Quoz, with same-day intercity moves north to Ras Al Khaimah and west to Abu Dhabi. Each area page carries its own access notes, permit requirements and prices.
What it costs
Real bands from jobs we complete every week in Dubai. Your quote lands inside these, and it is fixed once we have surveyed.
| Property / service | Typical price | What's included | Crew |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 BHK apartment | AED 499 – 900 | Loading, transport, unloading, basic reassembly | 2–3 movers |
| 2 BHK apartment | AED 900 – 1,500 | Full move + dismantling and reassembly | 3–4 movers |
| 3 BHK apartment | AED 1,400 – 2,200 | Full move + packing option + reassembly | 4–5 movers |
| 3 BHK villa / townhouse | AED 1,800 – 2,800 | Full move incl. garden, garage and storerooms | 6–8 movers |
| 4–5 BHK villa | AED 2,800 – 4,500 | Full move + custom crating for high-value items | 8–10 movers |
| Office (10–20 workstations) | AED 2,500 – 6,000 | Weekend move, IT crating, workstation rebuild | 8–12 movers |
Excludes 5% VAT. Fuel, Salik and inter-emirate permits are inside the quoted figure — never added on arrival. Final numbers depend on volume, floor level, lift access and distance, all confirmed at your free survey.
Why MIG Movers
Most moving companies in Dubai quote low and settle up on the day. We price the whole job at the survey and then hold that price — a harder promise to make, and a much easier one to live with.
Our quote is a contract. Stairs, long carries, parking distance and access limits are captured at survey, so nothing is added on the day.
Every mover on your job is on our payroll, trained by us and insured by us. We never subcontract a move to a labour supplier we cannot vouch for.
Goods-in-transit cover is included on every single move, with full-replacement-value cover available for high-value contents.
We size the crew and the vehicles to the surveyed volume, which is why our moves finish in a day instead of spilling into the next one.
Moving NOCs, insurance certificates, service-lift slots and community access permits — we file all of it before the truck is dispatched.
Seven days a week including public holidays, with evening and overnight slots at no premium. We move when it suits your building and your schedule.
Client reviews
Reviews from real moves across Dubai and the northern emirates — apartments, villas, offices and single items.
“Eight movers, two trucks, and they still had time to reassemble every wardrobe and remount both TVs. The garden furniture and garage were included in the quote, which two other companies had conveniently left out.”
“We moved 24 workstations over a weekend and opened on Sunday morning with everything working. The numbered crate system meant staff unpacked their own desks in ten minutes.”
“Loaded at 8am in Dubai, unloaded in Al Reem by 2pm the same day. Salik and fuel were already in the price. Genuinely the least stressful move I've had in eleven years here.”
“My handover was delayed by six weeks so they stored everything and sent me photos of the inventory. Redelivered on the day I asked, nothing missing, nothing damaged.”
“I only needed a sofa moved and they treated it like a proper job — wrapped it, took the legs off, put it back together in the new flat. AED 300, same evening.”

Ask on WhatsAppMoving a studio or 1 BHK apartment within Dubai typically costs AED 499 to AED 900, a 2 BHK AED 900 to AED 1,500, and a 3-bedroom villa AED 1,800 to AED 2,800. Price is driven by volume, floor level and lift access, distance, and whether you add packing. Every quote we issue is fixed after a free survey — the figure does not change on moving day.
It is fixed. The survey captures the things that cause other companies' prices to rise — stairs, long carries, parking distance, lift restrictions and oversized items — and they are priced in from the start. The only circumstance in which a price changes is if you add items or services after the quote is issued, and we confirm that with you in writing first.
Three to five days is comfortable for an apartment, and seven to ten days for a villa. Month-end is peak season in Dubai — the last week of any month books out fastest, so allow more notice if your tenancy ends then. Same-day and next-day moves are frequently possible when crews are available.
Yes, and they are included in the quote. Double-wall cartons, bubble wrap, packing paper, stretch film, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails and tape all come with the crew. There is nothing for you to buy in advance. We also sell materials on their own if you would rather pack yourself.
Yes. Goods-in-transit insurance is included on every move as standard. For high-value contents — artwork, antiques, designer furniture, electronics — we recommend declaring a full replacement value so we can arrange cover to match, which is quoted separately and is inexpensive relative to the value protected.
Yes, to and from all seven. Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah are all same-day moves on standard household volumes, with one crew and one vehicle throughout. Fuel, Salik, tolls and inter-emirate permits are included in the quoted price.
