You can buy a quality cargo bicycle trailer for little more than the cost of renting a small moving van for a weekend. Unlike the rental van, cargo trailers can be used after the move on an on-going basis for example to do the weekly grocery shopping.

While a tadpole-style tricycle design for carrying cargo or passengers is available with rear-wheel steering, some may find a delta-style triporteur easier to handle than a fully-loaded bakfiets or Christiania given that only the front wheel section and not the entire load-carrying portion of the cycle need be steered.
Alternatively, you can build a custom bike trailer to your own specifications for moving specific items on a repeated basis.
