Moving Companies in Qatar: International Relocation Options
Well-known international moving and relocation companies operating in Qatar, including Allied and Crown Relocations, and what to check before you book.
Moving to, from, or within Qatar generally means choosing between international relocation companies and smaller local movers. This guide covers the two well-known international options, since these are the easiest to verify. We checked each company's own site in September 2026.
International moving companies in Qatar
| Company | Known for |
|---|---|
| Allied Moving Qatar | Part of the SIRVA network, operating under the Allied Pickfords brand, moving to over 600 locations worldwide |
| Crown Relocations | Present in 55 countries, offering pre-move planning through settling into a new home |
Allied Qatar opened its Doha office in 2013 and is reported to have won International Moving Company of the Year at the EMMAS (Expatriate Management and Mobility Awards) five times.
Local movers
Smaller, local moving companies also operate in Qatar, often at a lower cost than international relocation companies, particularly for a move within Doha. We could not independently verify specific local movers as registered businesses this session, so we do not name any here.
What to check before booking
- Get a written, itemized quote, not a rough verbal estimate.
- Confirm what insurance is included for damaged or lost items, and what the claim process is.
- Ask about packing materials and whether packing is included or charged separately.
- For an international move, ask about customs handling at the destination, since this varies by country.
- If you are moving out of Qatar for good, see our guide to canceling your Qatar residence permit.
What we could not verify
- Current prices for any company.
- Specific local moving companies as registered, verifiable businesses.
- Insurance coverage limits for either international company listed above.
