Removals
No-parking zone for your move
A no-parking zone (Halteverbotszone) is an officially permitted, signposted stretch outside your front door that stays free for the removal van on moving day. We apply for it with the relevant traffic authority, put the signs up in good time and collect them afterwards — as part of a move, or as a job of its own if you are moving yourself.
Included
- Application with the traffic authority of the town concerned
- Signs put up at least 72 hours before the move, as required
- Photo documentation of the signs with timestamp
- Removal and collection of the signs after the move
- Both addresses, including outside the Rhine-Main region
Not included
- Towing vehicles parked in the zone regardless — the police arrange that, we help with the call
- Zones for building sites, skips or events
Key facts
- Lead time
- 1–2 weeks, depending on the town

Survey appointments are available on weekdays and Saturdays. For flats of up to two rooms a video walk-through on a smartphone is usually enough.
Removals
A typical job
Situation
A move into central Darmstadt, where parking outside the building on a weekday is hopeless. Without a free stretch the crew would carry every piece of furniture 80 metres.
What happened
Application ten days ahead with the City of Darmstadt, signs put up and photographed four days before the move. On moving day the van is outside the front door. The carrying time saved was worth more than the fee.
Questions
Questions about this service
The authority's fee differs from town to town and is itemised in the quote; our work for the application, set-up and removal comes on top. What a zone costs without a move we will tell you on request for your address.
No. Signs you put up yourself have no legal force — anyone parking there is parking legally, and you cannot have them towed. Only the officially permitted zone is enforceable. The signs also have to be in place for at least three full days beforehand for the zone to apply.
Most towns in the Rhine-Main region need one to two weeks for the permit, Frankfurt nearer two. Add the three days' notice for the signs. Call us if deadlines are tight — some things can be sped up, and we tell you straight away whether it will still work.
