Moving in Kenya can vary widely in cost depending on factors like distance, home size, and additional services, Brilliant Movers is here to help you navigate these expenses. Whether you’re planning a Residential Moving project in Nairobi, an Office and Commercial Relocation, or need Transport Services across the 47 counties, understanding the 2025 price landscape is key. For a 1-bedroom home, costs typically start at Ksh. 12,000–15,000 for local moves within Nairobi, while a 2-bedroom move ranges from Ksh. 15,000–18,000. Larger 3-bedroom homes can cost Ksh. 19,000–25,000 locally, with prices increasing for inter-county moves based on distance and volume.
For long-distance relocations, such as from Nairobi to Mombasa (approximately 480 km), expect costs to rise to Ksh. 50,000–100,000 for a small apartment, depending on the volume of goods and services like packing or storage from our Packing and Storage Solutions. Additional factors like peak seasons (end-of-month or holidays), special items (e.g., pianos or pets via Pet and Specialty Item Relocation), and extra services (e.g., furniture disassembly) can add Ksh. 2,000–5,000 per item or service. To save, book mid-week or mid-month, declutter beforehand, and request a free quote from Brilliant Movers. Visit our About Us page to learn more, and explore tips in our News & Blogs section.

Timing and flexibility play a big role in costs. Peak moving periods, such as weekends or month-end, often see higher rates due to demand, while off-peak times like weekdays can offer savings of 10–30%. The size of your move matters too—larger homes or offices with heavy furniture and equipment require bigger trucks and more manpower, pushing costs up. Specialty items like fragile antiques or vehicles need careful handling, which may incur extra fees. At Brilliant Movers, we provide transparent pricing and customizable options, starting at Ksh. 15,000 for local moves, with inter-county rates scaling with distance. Avoid surprises by getting multiple quotes and clarifying what’s included—packing, insurance, or storage can add to the bill.
To keep costs down, consider packing yourself with free boxes from local stores, though our professional packing services ensure safety for delicate items. Early booking secures better rates and availability, especially for busy seasons. For businesses, Office and Commercial Relocations may include IT equipment or confidential document transport, potentially requiring overnight moves that increase expenses. Insurance is another consideration—basic coverage might be included, but full protection for valuables adds a small premium.
