Moving in Gdynia

Gdynia is a city of the port, the navy and people who often change address along with their contract. Some come here to work in the maritime economy, others return south after years. We plan Gdynia–Wrocław moves as a two-day route with a set unloading time, and from Gdynia we also move people to other cities and abroad.

From Wrocław to Gdynia – about 500 km

We take the S5 via Poznań and Bydgoszcz, then the A1 motorway, and beyond Gdańsk the Tricity Bypass (S6) to the Gdynia exits. At rush hour the bypass can be jammed in both directions, so unloading in Gdynia is best started early in the morning, before the commute begins. We plan departures from Gdynia the other way round – after the morning rush.

A city on hills and a cliff

Gdynia stretches between the sea and the moraine hills. Many estates lie high up, reached by steep streets where a large vehicle has to go carefully in winter and in the rain. When quoting, we ask about the gradient of the access road and whether the vehicle can stand on level ground – safe unloading of heavy furniture depends on it.

Districts along the border with Rumią and Sopot are a separate case. From Chylonia or Cisowa it is easy to get onto the bypass, but the estate roads are lined with residents' cars. It is best to arrive there in the morning on a weekday, when some cars have already left for work and a space for unloading has freed up outside the entrance.

Modernism calls for a gentle touch

The buildings in Gdynia's city centre have original balustrades, terrazzo stairs and wooden doors that residents' associations take great care of. Before we carry in the first piece of furniture, we cover wall corners and handrails and lay mats on the stairwell floor. That way there are no awkward conversations with the building manager after the move.

Moving families with ties to the sea

  • We fit the date around the end of a contract or a job transfer.
  • Your belongings can wait in our warehouse in Wrocław if your new home isn't ready yet.
  • We pack the whole flat while the household is at sea or already at the new workplace.
  • For moves abroad, we draw on our experience in international transport.

If you are changing countries, not just cities, take a look at our international moving page. For a domestic quote, a list of furniture is enough – you can prepare it in our volume calculator.

Moving in Gdynia – questions

Can you get a large vehicle into an estate in Chwarzno?

In most cases, yes. If the street is too steep or narrow, we park lower down and bring your belongings up in a smaller vehicle or carry them over a longer distance – we agree this before arriving.

How long does a move from Gdynia to Wrocław take?

Usually two days. We load in Gdynia, drive about 500 km and unload in Wrocław the next morning.

Can you pack my flat while I'm at sea?

Yes, if someone hands us the keys and shows us what to take. After the job, we send photos and a list of boxes.

Do you move belongings from Gdynia to Sweden or Norway?

We carry out international moves, including to countries where customs clearance is required. We discuss the destination and formalities when preparing the quote.
