Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book my Europe move
Four to six weeks is a good target for shared loads and peak dates. Dedicated vans can sometimes be arranged faster but early booking gives more choice.
Can I move just a part of my home to Europe
Yes. Part load and groupage services are designed for partial moves. We base the price on the space your goods use.
Do I need to be present at delivery in Europe
Someone must meet the crew at destination. This can be you, a family member, agent or authorised friend who can guide access and sign off.
Are there items I cannot move to Europe
Hazardous goods, some liquids, gas bottles, fuel, certain food and restricted items cannot go on removals vehicles. We provide a clear list before packing.
Do you offer insurance for Europe removals
We can arrange cover based on the value you declare. This protects against major loss or damage during loading, transit and delivery.
