Removals from Edinburgh to Italy

Edinburgh to Italy is a regular route on our European schedule. Collection from any EH1-EH17 postcode; transit 6-10 days door-to-door via France and the Alps (Mont Blanc or Fréjus tunnel); delivery into Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples and beyond.

Italy is a longer European trip — typically 6-10 days door-to-door because we cross the Alps via the Mont Blanc or Fréjus tunnel. Most of our Italy moves are to Tuscany and Umbria (rural farmhouses), the Italian Lakes (Como, Garda) and the major cities Rome, Milan and Florence.

Tuscan and Umbrian farmhouse deliveries usually involve narrow rural lanes and we'll survey access in advance — sometimes we'll need a shuttle vehicle for the last mile. Lake Como and Lake Garda properties are often steep-access villas with parking constraints.

Rome and Milan are dense apartment moves with restricted vehicle access, usually requiring a permesso (city centre access permit) and a shuttle. Florence's ZTL (zona traffico limitato) needs special permits we arrange in advance.

Italian customs require a formal declaration on UK household goods. New Italian residents can apply for Trasferimento di Residenza relief, exempting used personal effects from VAT and duty.

You'll need a Codice Fiscale (Italian tax number) and an Italian residency certificate (certificato di residenza) issued by your comune. The paperwork must reach Italian customs before the vehicle arrives — we handle the submission.

Customs declaration required; Italian Transfer of Residence (Trasferimento di Residenza) relief available.

Paperwork we prepare and submit as part of every Edinburgh to Italy move: valued inventory in english and italian; codice fiscale (italian tax number); italian residency certificate (certificato di residenza); t1 transit document and italian customs declaration; passport copy.

Indicative pricing for a Edinburgh to Italy move: £1,700 (shared part-load) up to £6,200+ (dedicated 4-bed move to Tuscany). Every quote is fixed in writing after a survey — no day-of surprises.

City of Edinburgh Council parking dispensations take 10 working days and are essential for New Town and Old Town moves. We factor collection access into the fixed price so the loading day runs on schedule.
