London to Germany — the route we run every month

London to Germany is a regular route on our European schedule. Collection from any N, NW, W, WC, EC, SW, SE, E postcode; transit 4-8 days door-to-door via Eurotunnel and German autobahn network; delivery into Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg and beyond.

Germany is one of our most regular European routes — Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and the Rhine-Ruhr cities all see UK relocations every month, especially around academic terms and corporate transfers. We run Germany trips on a roughly 2-week shared schedule and dedicated vans on demand.

Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt — different cities, different planning

Berlin is largely apartment deliveries — Halteverbot (no-stopping) parking permits are required for the moving vehicle and have to be applied for 7-14 days in advance. Munich apartments are similar and notoriously tight on stairwell access; we survey internal dimensions carefully. Frankfurt deliveries are often corporate relocations into modern apartments with goods lifts.

Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Stuttgart follow similar urban patterns. Rural Bavarian and Black Forest deliveries are straightforward villa-style moves.

Übersiedlungsgut — the German equivalent of ToR

New German residents can apply for Übersiedlungsgut relief (customs form 0350) which lets you import used household goods VAT and duty free. You need your Anmeldung (registration of address in Germany) and proof you've been resident in the UK for at least 12 months prior.

The paperwork has to be lodged with German customs on arrival — we prepare and submit it as part of the move and coordinate with the local customs office if a physical inspection is requested.

Customs and paperwork for a London to Germany move

EU customs declaration required; Übersiedlungsgut (Transfer of Residence) relief available for new German residents.

Paperwork we prepare and submit as part of every London to Germany move: valued inventory in english and german; anmeldung (german address registration) certificate for tor; passport copy and aufenthaltstitel (residence permit) if relevant; t1 transit document; übersiedlungsgut application form (customs form 0350).

Fixed pricing from London

Indicative pricing for a London to Germany move: £1,200 (small part-load to NRW) up to £5,800+ (dedicated 4-bed move to Munich). Every quote is fixed in writing after a survey — no day-of surprises.

Suspended-bay permits are usually required in Zones 1-3 and we lodge those 10 working days ahead of every move. We factor collection access into the fixed price so the loading day runs on schedule.

How the London to Germany move actually runs

We route this corridor via Eurotunnel or Dover-Calais, then Belgium and the Netherlands onto the German autobahn network. Transit is 3-5 days to western Germany, 4-7 days to Berlin, Bavaria and the east, and the difference between the fast end and the slow end of that range is almost always part-load consolidation rather than the drive itself - a dedicated van leaves your door and does not stop for anyone else's load.

Paperwork is where overseas moves go wrong, so we do it in-house. A valued inventory, passport copy, Anmeldung (proof of German address registration) and a Transfer of Residence declaration for duty-free import of used household goods. Everything is checked before the vehicle leaves the UK, because a missing residency document costs days at the border, not hours.

German cities operate Umweltzone low-emission zones requiring a green badge; our vehicles carry one, so there is no last-minute reroute.

Halteverbot (no-parking) zones are commonly booked for German moves - we arrange these with the local authority where your address needs it.

Germany move checklist

  • Book 3-5 weeks ahead - customs paperwork, not the vehicle, sets the lead time
  • Have your passport, destination address proof and tax/residency number to hand
  • Decide part-load (cheaper, flexible dates) or dedicated van (fastest, fixed day)
  • Declare a realistic replacement value so the insurance matches the load
  • Tell us about pianos, artwork, wine, safes, gym equipment and garden machinery
  • Check restricted items - no aerosols, fuels, paints, plants or perishables
  • Send photos or video of access at both ends: driveway, stairs, lift, gate width
  • Confirm who can accept delivery at destination and on which dates
Questions From Real Searches

Answers to the questions people ask

How much do removals from London to Germany cost in 2026?
A part-load (a few rooms of furniture and boxes) typically starts from £880, a dedicated van for a 2-bed home from £2,100, and a full 3-4 bed household from £3,400. Price depends on volume in cubic metres, access at both ends, packing and insured value. You receive a fixed written quote after a free survey - video survey is fine.
How long does the move from London to Germany take?
Typical transit is 3-5 days to western Germany, 4-7 days to Berlin, Bavaria and the east. A dedicated van is fastest because it goes straight from your door to the delivery address. A part-load costs less because we consolidate loads, so it waits for the next scheduled run - we give you a delivery window in writing before you commit.
Which paperwork do I need for Germany?
A valued inventory, passport copy, Anmeldung (proof of German address registration) and a Transfer of Residence declaration for duty-free import of used household goods. We prepare the inventory, complete the export declaration and check your documents before the vehicle leaves the UK, so nothing stalls at the border.
Which parts of Germany do you deliver to?
We deliver to Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Dresden. If your address is outside those areas we still quote it - it usually means an onward leg with a trusted destination agent, shown as a separate line in the quote.
Is my furniture insured in transit to Germany?
Yes. Goods in transit and marine cover are included, and you declare a replacement value at booking so the cover matches what is actually in the load. Items we pack ourselves carry full cover; owner-packed boxes are covered against loss and external damage.
Do you pack for international moves?
Yes, and for overseas moves we strongly recommend it. Export packing means double-wall cartons, edge protection on case goods, purpose-made mattress and sofa covers and a numbered inventory - the same inventory customs reads. Fragile-only packing is available if you want to box the rest yourself.
Can you store our belongings before or after the move?
Yes. Insured container storage in the UK covers the gap when your Germany completion or rental start date slips, and we redeliver into the next scheduled run rather than charging you for a wasted trip.
Do you move in the other direction too?
Yes - we run Germany to UK moves on the same vehicles, which is why our pricing on this corridor is competitive in both directions. Return-leg capacity is often the cheapest way to move a part-load.
