International removals 2026

International Removals From the UK to Europe and Beyond

Removals Nationwide has maintained an active fleet of vehicles throughout Europe since the company was established. Your goods travel on our own vehicles, not through a broker chain, and every shipment is trackable from the moment it leaves your London address.

In 2026, more London households and businesses use international removal specialists rather than coordinating freight independently. Customs documentation, insurance and logistics complexity all carry real risk when managed without professional oversight.

Removals Nationwide uses documented procedures, appropriate insurance and trained staff for international moves. Our professional packing service is available as part of every international booking.

Shipping methods

How We Ship Your Belongings

The right method depends on your destination, volume and timeline. European moves travel by road on our own fleet. Worldwide moves use sea or air freight via our partner network.

European Road Freight

Own fleet

Own-fleet, scheduled road removals from London to European destinations. Every vehicle is tracked from loading to delivery. The fastest and most cost-effective route for European moves.

Sea Freight

Via partners

Worldwide shipping by sea, handled through our partner network. The most cost-effective method for large volumes over long distances. Suited to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Airfreight

Via partners

The fastest option for international shipping, available worldwide via our partner network. Suited to urgent, smaller or high-value consignments where speed takes priority over cost.

Part Load or Full Load: Which Fits Your Move?

Part load (shared)

  • Shares space on a vehicle or container with other consignments
  • Lower cost for smaller volumes
  • Wider collection and delivery window, confirmed with a few days notice
  • Suited to boxes, single items and smaller household moves

Full load (dedicated)

  • Dedicated vehicle or container, your goods only
  • Fixed confirmed collection and delivery date
  • Faster delivery on European routes
  • Suited to full household or office relocations

Step by step

How Your International Move Works

Six steps from first contact to delivery at your destination. The same process for every international job, home or business.

Step 1

Request a survey date

Contact us online, by phone or WhatsApp. A coordinator confirms a survey date for the belongings you plan to move.

Step 2

Survey and packing advice

Our specialist surveys your goods, advises on packaging and gives an overall time estimate. Online video surveys are available for smaller loads.

Step 3

Free quote

We calculate everything and produce a written fixed quote for the full scope before any work begins.

Step 4

Coordinator assigned

A dedicated moving coordinator is assigned to manage your documentation, customs information and the full organisation of the move.

Step 5

Moving day

Our crew arrives and loads your belongings. From this point everything is our responsibility. You do nothing until you are ready to receive at the other end.

Step 6

Delivery to destination

Your goods are delivered to your new address within the scheduled timeframe. Your coordinator confirms the delivery window at booking.

Administrative support

Customs, Documentation and Relocation Support

Every international move involves customs documentation, inventory lists, destination country requirements and, in some cases, import duty declarations. Removals Nationwide assigns a dedicated moving coordinator to manage all of this on your behalf.

Your coordinator handles country and customs information, produces the inventory, manages the documentation for your destination and keeps you updated at each stage. For moves involving immigration and Visa requirements, your coordinator provides guidance and connects you with the appropriate professional resources.

This coordination is included in every international booking, not an optional extra. It is one of the most significant practical differences between using a professional international mover and arranging freight independently.

Transparent pricing

What Affects the Cost of Your International Move

International removal costs vary significantly by destination, volume and method. No fixed price is accurate without a survey. A free survey confirms your exact scope and a written fixed quote is issued before any commitment.

Volume of goods

Total volume determines vehicle or container size, and whether a part load or full load is the right option.

Destination and distance

European road freight costs differ from sea freight to Australasia. Route, distance and customs requirements all affect the price.

Shipping method

Road, sea or airfreight each carry different costs. Airfreight is fastest and most expensive. Sea freight is most cost-effective for large volumes.

Part load vs full load

A shared part load costs less but comes with a wider delivery window. A dedicated full load gives fixed dates at a higher cost.

Packing and materials

Professional packing for international moves adds to the total but reduces the risk of damage during the longer transit.

Insurance scope

Basic insurance is included. An open cover upgrade adds to the cost but extends protection to high-value items throughout the journey.

Your cover

Insurance and Protecting Your Belongings

Basic goods-in-transit insurance is included in every international booking. This covers your belongings against standard transit risk from loading to delivery.

For international moves, the open cover policy upgrade is available and recommended for any move that includes high-value items, antiques, artwork, electronics or irreplaceable pieces. The open cover policy extends protection throughout the international journey and provides higher declared values where the standard cover limit is insufficient.

Ask your coordinator to explain the difference between basic cover and the open cover upgrade at the survey stage, before you confirm the scope. Insurance decisions are easier to make before packing begins.

Practical advice

International Moving Tips

1

Know your destination country's regulations

Every country restricts certain imports. Plants, live animals, some medicines, firearms, food products and controlled substances are commonly regulated or prohibited. Your coordinator advises on specific rules for your destination before anything is packed. Do not assume that what is permitted in the UK is allowed at the other end.

2

Book professional packing for an international move

An international move is not the same as relocating within London. Your belongings travel by road, sea or air over long distances. Items need to be properly wrapped, padded and sealed for the journey. Our crews pack to the same standard used for international shipping contracts.

3

Upgrade to open cover insurance

Basic goods-in-transit insurance covers standard transit risk. The open cover upgrade extends protection to your valuables throughout the international journey. Speak to your coordinator about what is and is not covered under each option before you confirm the scope.

Good to know

International Removals FAQs

Allow at least 2 weeks notice for a long-distance move, and more for international. For a dedicated door-to-door service rather than a part-load, allow a month or more. Parking suspensions often require 2 weeks notice from local authorities. Changing your date at short notice risks losing reserved suspension bays and is subject to availability.
