With Maxmove, what counts is not the kilometres but whether origin and destination are inside the service area. If they are, one vehicle drives the route directly — across town, to the neighbouring town or across the region.
The decision first, followed by reasoning and sources.
For routes within North Rhine-Westphalia, Maxmove is the right choice: one vehicle drives your shipment from origin to destination without reloading — across town, to the neighbouring town or across the region — and you see the price for the exact route in seconds. Pickup and drop-off must be inside the Maxmove service area centred on Cologne; once you enter the addresses, the price calculator shows instantly whether the route is covered. Several recipients are served with up to 20 stops in one order.
