Cheap student move

29 August 2016

The best tip for an easy and cheap student move this back-to-school season is definitely Cocolis! By sharing available space in vehicles to save everyone money, parcel carpooling is a practical and economical solution, especially suited to student moves.

Student move: make your vehicle pay for itself

If you already have a vehicle for your student move and you have some space left, Cocolis can help you earn a bit of money to lower the cost of your journey. In fact, many people post requests to send an item via Cocolis at a low cost. They’ll be delighted to make use of your boot!

For example, transporting an oven from Paris to Bordeaux could earn you around €40. Enough to reimburse part of your van rental 🙂

How does it work? Offer your journey, and we’ll instantly email you delivery requests that match your route.

Move your belongings for less

Don’t have a vehicle and looking for a great way to move your student belongings without spending a fortune? Cocolis is made for you.

Cocolis is a peer-to-peer delivery platform that connects people who need to transport items with those who have a planned journey and space in their vehicle (car or van), based on the carpooling principle. The site already has thousands of individuals ready to help students who need to settle in another city!

Student move with Cocolis: how does it work?

  • Post an ad on the site to describe your move. Remember to mention the number of boxes to move, the route, and the deadline. Indicate the type of vehicle needed (will everything fit in a car boot, an estate, or a van?)
  • We’ll notify you as soon as a driver offers to help with your student move, and you can arrange the details together via Cocolis’s private messaging.
  • Once you’ve agreed, you pay online to secure the booking.
  • After the move, you confirm it’s done by giving your confirmation code to the driver. Cocolis pays them by bank transfer.

Spread the word!

You’ve got it: Cocolis is THE best tip for students who need to move because in any case, you win. Either you get back part of your moving costs by taking a few extra boxes, or you move for much less than a traditional mover.

By connecting individuals through our collaborative platform, a small student move finally becomes easy and suitable for all budgets, even the tightest. Our aim is to help everyone save money: both senders and travellers.

If you think Cocolis is a great idea, spread the word! That’s how we’ll make our service more popular and help as many people as possible 🙂
