European Removals: Not Just Moving Objects, But Building Your New Beginning
An international removal is never just a change of address. It's a new chapter, an opportunity, a challenge.

Your European Removal Map: Key Factors for a Quote Without Surprises
Clarity is our pillar. For a transparent quote with no hidden costs for your European removals, it's essential to understand the factors that determine the cost. We don't want to give you a vague figure, but a detailed spending plan. Here are the key elements:
- Volume and Weight of Goods (m³): This is the primary factor. We accurately calculate the volume in cubic meters of your belongings. A survey (even virtual) allows us to accurately estimate the necessary space, avoiding surprises.
- Distance and Destination: Clearly, the route influences the cost. But not only that: the ease of access to the final destination, any traffic restrictions (ZTL - Limited Traffic Zones), or the need for special equipment (aerial platforms for high floors) are also evaluated in advance.
- Requested Extra Services: In addition to basic transport, we offer a wide range of customizable services:
- Professional packing: We use specific materials for every type of item, from fragile goods to large furniture.
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly: Performed by qualified personnel.
- Temporary storage: If you need secure storage before final delivery.
- Special services: Transport of works of art, pianos, vehicles.
- Transport Mode:
- Groupage service: Ideal for smaller volumes, it allows sharing space on the vehicle with other clients, optimizing costs. Delivery times are more flexible.
- Exclusive service: The vehicle is dedicated solely to your belongings, ensuring faster and personalized delivery times.
- Land, sea, or air transport: The choice depends on the destination, volume, and urgency.
- Bureaucratic and Customs Procedures: This is a crucial point, especially for non-EU countries like Switzerland or the United Kingdom. The management of documents, customs declarations, transit permits, and taxes is complex. A quote that does not explicitly include them is a red flag.
- Insurance: The protection of your belongings is non-negotiable. We offer various options, including all-risk insurance, which covers every eventuality from the moment of loading to final delivery.
Every item in our quote is clear and detailed, because your trust is built on transparency.
Beyond Bureaucracy and Hidden Costs: Our Integrated Management for European Removals
The fear of hidden costs and the frustration of bureaucracy are among the biggest pain points for those facing an international removal. At Traslochi.com, we have transformed these challenges into strengths of our service.
The "Lowest Price" Trap: How to Recognize an Unreliable Quote
Beware of excessively low or vague quotes. They often hide: additional costs for packing not included, undeclared surcharges for high floors, unquoted customs duties, or even the absence of adequate insurance. The international "do-it-yourself" approach, moreover, can turn into a nightmare of delays, fines, and damages.
We provide you with a quote that is a true service contract, where every item is specified. There are no surprises. The price you see is the price you pay, unless changes are requested by you during the process.
Hassle-Free Bureaucratic Management: Our Added Value
The complexity of customs procedures and transit permits between European countries (and particularly for destinations like Switzerland or the United Kingdom, which require specific procedures) is an obstacle for many. But not for us.
Our team of experts handles all necessary documentation: customs declarations, packing lists, certificates of origin, special permits. We will guide you step-by-step on what personal documents are required, but the operational management is entirely our responsibility. This ensures a smooth passage at borders, without customs delays and without the stress of errors that could cost you dearly.
With Traslochi.com, integrated management means that every aspect, from planning to execution, is under our control, guaranteeing you maximum security and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions about European Removals
Does insurance cover all types of damage during European removals?
We offer various insurance options. Our all-risk insurance is the most comprehensive and covers virtually every eventuality, from damage to total loss, based on the declared value of your belongings. It is essential to discuss this during the quote phase to choose the most suitable coverage for your needs and ensure maximum security.
How long in advance should I request a quote for a European removal?
To ensure the best planning and availability, we recommend requesting a quote at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for peak seasons. However, we are also equipped to handle urgent requests, evaluating feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
How are customs procedures handled for non-EU countries like Switzerland or the United Kingdom?
This is one of our strengths. Our team fully handles all necessary customs procedures. We will provide you with a clear list of personal documents you will need to prepare (passport, visa, residence certificate, etc.), but the completion and submission of customs declarations, obtaining transit permits, and tax management are our responsibility. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free passage at the border.
Is it possible to track my removal during transport in Europe?
Absolutely. For your peace of mind, we provide a tracking system that allows you to monitor the status and location of your removal in real-time, from the moment of loading until delivery to the destination. You will always be updated on the progress of your transfer.
What is the difference between an exclusive removal service and a groupage service?
The exclusive service means that the transport vehicle is dedicated solely to your belongings. This ensures faster and more flexible delivery times, ideal for those with urgency or large volumes. The groupage service, on the other hand, involves sharing space on the vehicle with other clients' belongings. It is a more economical solution, ideal for smaller volumes, but with slightly longer and more flexible delivery times, as they are linked to collecting multiple loads on the same route.
