What is different about moving services here
Kisumu is compact, and a move within the city rarely runs into the travel times that make Nairobi moves expensive. Most local moves here are half-day jobs.
The longer-distance move is the common one instead: Kisumu to Nairobi, or out to the surrounding towns. For those, agree whether the price is for the vehicle and the trip or by the hour, because the two diverge sharply over that distance.

Writing the request
What to include so the offers come back usable
- Where you are moving from and to
- The floor at each end, and whether there is a working lift
- A list of the big items and a rough box count
- The date, and whether it can shift by a day
- Whether you need packing, or only moving
What moves the price
Why two quotes for the same job differ
- Volume, and the vehicle size it needs
- Distance, particularly between towns
- Stairs and the floor at both ends
- Packing, and whether materials are included
- How many people are needed to load and carry
Help24 does not publish price ranges for moving services. Quotes come from the movers themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.
Before work starts
What to check with a mover
- Agree what happens if something is damaged, before the van is loaded
- Photograph anything valuable or already marked before it goes on
- Confirm the vehicle can actually reach both addresses and park
- Confirm whether the price is a fixed job price or by the hour
How Help24 works
Posting a moving services job
Describe the job
Say what needs doing and where you are. Posting is free, and you are not committing to anything by posting.
Nearby movers send offers
Providers near you quote their own price. Nobody is assigned to you — you see the offers and you choose.
Agree the price first
Nothing starts until you have accepted an offer. The number you agree is the number that gets held.
Pay by M-Pesa, released when it's done
Help24 holds the payment while the work happens. The provider can see it is there; neither side can move it until you confirm the job is finished.
