Shared space or your own van?

Tell us your inventory, preferred collection date and delivery constraints. We will confirm which transport option is available for your move to France.

Collection is currently limited to the London area. Delivery to continental Europe is within 96 hours after loading. Collection arrangements and delivery details are confirmed in your written quote.

Shared transport

Your belongings travel with compatible shipments. Date flexibility can help us assess a suitable shared option.

Dedicated transport

Ask for the vehicle to carry your load separately. Availability, routing and delivery commitments are confirmed in the quote.

Assistance depends on the transport option and is confirmed in your quote. In the co-load price example below, help loading the van is included; assistance carrying belongings costs £50 per hour. Tell us if extra crew or specialist handling may be needed.

Make the route practical

Before your London–France move

  1. State the purpose of the move

    Tell us whether this is a change of main residence, a student move, a second home or furniture-only transport. The paperwork can differ.

  2. Plan the French delivery access

    Check the road approach, legal unloading space, entrance dimensions and any building access arrangements before a collection date is fixed.

  3. Separate your inventory and documents

    List boxes and larger items, with approximate dimensions. Keep identity documents out of the public enquiry and request a suitable secure channel when needed.

Border preparation

A main-home move or a second home?

French Customs distinguishes a transfer of your primary residence from furnishing a second home. Relief may be available for qualifying personal belongings when you transfer your main home from outside the EU. Do not assume the same relief applies to a holiday home. Start with an inventory and evidence of your change of residence, then confirm the documents and declaration arrangements for your move.

Read the official guidance

French Customs: transferring your primary residence ↗

This is a planning overview, not an assessment of your eligibility. Duties, taxes, declaration fees and document responsibilities need to be confirmed for your shipment.

Moving back to Great Britain instead? Check UK personal-belongings and relief rules, then ask us separately about route availability. Northern Ireland has different rules.

Official guidance checked 3 November 2026.

Understand the quote

Price the actual move.

The UK website currently lists a standard rate of £1.35/km. This is not a fixed total for a London–France move. Your quote should identify the distance basis, volume, assistance, taxes, crossings and any extra services.

Ask which customs handling costs and official charges are included. Do not assume an example price for another route applies here.

Current booking terms: 20% prepayment after written confirmation, with the balance due two working days before collection unless otherwise agreed. Read the full terms.

Useful answers

France removal questions

Can you collect anywhere in the UK?

Not currently. Collections are around London. Share your postcode so we can confirm whether it is within the present collection area.

How long should I allow for delivery?

Delivery to continental Europe is within 96 hours after loading. Tell us your collection availability and delivery-access requirements so we can confirm the arrangements in your written quote.

Does moving to a French second home automatically qualify for relief?

No. French Customs gives different treatment to second-home furnishings. Check the official guidance and confirm the costs and declaration arrangements before booking.

Can I send just boxes or selected furniture?

Yes, those are the kinds of small loads described by the service. Send an item list with dimensions; volume, weight, access and suitability must be checked before booking.

How much will this route cost?

Request a written quote for your addresses and item list. The standard kilometre rate alone does not establish a final total or confirm what border and crossing costs are included.
