In this guide, we will shed light on every single aspect. We will show you exactly what you pay for, why you pay for it, and how to avoid any hidden costs.

Key Factors Determining International Removal Costs: Your Detailed Map
The cost of an international removal is not a fixed figure, but the result of a combination of factors specific to your needs. Understanding these elements will give you a sense of control and help you correctly evaluate your quote.
- Volume of Goods (in m³): This is the most influential factor. The more items you have, the more space they will occupy, and consequently, the higher the cost. A technical survey or a video assessment allows us to precisely calculate your m³ volume.
- Distance and Destination: The route to be covered affects transport costs (fuel, tolls, vehicle wear and tear). International destinations, especially those requiring sea freight or air transport, have different costs compared to a national removal.
- Additional Services Required:
- Professional Packing: We use specific materials and advanced techniques to protect every item, from fragile goods to large furniture. This service ensures the maximum safety of your belongings.
- Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly: If you don't want to handle it, our specialized technicians can manage the entire process.
- Temporary Storage: Do you need secure storage before or after the removal? We offer customized temporary storage solutions.
- Special Services: Transport of artworks, pianos, safes, or vehicles requires specific equipment and expertise, influencing the price.
- Customs Procedures and Bureaucracy: For international removals, particularly to countries like Switzerland, managing customs procedures, permits, and residence certificates is fundamental. A service that includes this management relieves you of an enormous bureaucratic burden.
- Insurance: Good all-risk insurance is an investment in your peace of mind. It protects you from unexpected damage or loss during transport.
- Transport Mode:
- Dedicated Transport: Your load occupies the entire vehicle, ensuring fast times and flexibility.
- Groupage Service: You share space with other clients heading to the same destination, reducing costs but with slightly longer delivery times. It's an excellent solution to optimize removal prices for smaller volumes.
The Trap of Too Low Removal Prices: How to Recognize an Unreliable Quote
In the world of removals, an excessively low price is almost always a red flag. The temptation to save money is strong, but the risk of encountering hidden costs, damages, or delays can turn your removal into a nightmare.
How to recognize an unreliable quote?
- Lack of Detail: A generic quote, without specifying the included services (packing, disassembly, insurance, customs management), is a red flag.
- Inadequate or Absent Insurance: If the insurance is not clear or does not cover all risks, your most valuable belongings are at risk.
- Undeclared Extra Costs: Beware of items like ZTL permits, surcharges for upper floors without a lift, unstated customs duties, or costs for "extra" packing materials.
- Lack of Transparency on Procedures: For international removals, managing customs procedures is complex. If it's not clarified who handles it and how, you might find yourself in trouble at the border.
Relying on "low-cost" companies often means compromising safety and peace of mind. Our approach is the opposite: we provide you with a crystal-clear quote, where every item is justified, to guarantee a removal without surprises.
