International Removals: Moving Abroad from Europe (2026)
International movers for moving abroad – how an international removal works and what it costs
Searching for international movers or an international moving company that handles the whole move – packing, transport, customs and delivery – rather than just the truck? Flyto Relocation arranges international removals across Europe and to overseas destinations from its own hubs in Northern, Central and Southern Europe, with vetted partner crews where we have no hub of our own. One contract, one contact person and one fixed price agreed before loading.
What does an international move cost? Indicative 2026 market ranges (not a Flyto price list – every move is priced on volume, route and address conditions): a one-bedroom flat of 10–15 m³ moved within Europe €1,500–€4,500; a family home of 25–35 m³ €3,500–€9,000; overseas by shared container €3,500–€7,500 for a flat and €7,000–€13,500 for a house, with dedicated 20 ft and 40 ft containers above that. Within the EU there is no customs; for the UK (Transfer of Residence), Switzerland (form 18.44), Norway and every overseas destination we handle the declaration.

Moving abroad shouldn’t mean juggling three different shipping brokers, a warehouse you’ve never seen and a customs form in a language you don’t read. Flyto Relocation is a European international-moving company built around a simpler promise: one company handles your whole international move, and one English-speaking coordinator stays with you from your first survey to the day the last box is carried into your new home. Whether you’re a family relocating across the continent or a professional taking up a post overseas, you deal with people who know your shipment by name, not a call-centre queue.
How Flyto works: our hubs, trusted partners, one coordinator
We’re honest about our model, because it’s also our biggest advantage. Flyto runs its own hubs and depots in Northern, Central and Southern Europe. From those hubs we operate regular, scheduled door-to-door road and sea services across Europe on a fixed corridor network. Because we control the schedule and the depots, we can consolidate shipments: on busy corridors your belongings travel as part of a shared, groupage load, so you pay only for the space you use instead of hiring a whole lorry to yourself.
For overseas destinations, we don’t pretend to have an office on every continent. Instead we work with a network of vetted local moving and destination partners we’ve selected and audited ourselves. You still deal with Flyto and your Flyto coordinator throughout; we manage the partners, the handovers and the paperwork behind the scenes. There’s no “local-office lottery” where the quality of your move depends on which franchise happens to hold the other end. It’s one accountable point of contact, start to finish.
What we move and the services we provide
We handle full household removals as well as part loads and full loads, so a studio flat and a five-bedroom house both fit the model. Our core services cover professional packing and unpacking, protective wrapping for furniture and fragile items, dismantling and reassembly, short- and long-term storage at our hubs, and full transit insurance. We move private households and relocating professionals alike, including corporate assignees who need a smooth, well-documented door-to-door service. If you only need part of the picture, say packing and transport but not storage, we’ll price just that. Storage is useful when your dates don’t line up perfectly at both ends, letting your belongings wait safely at one of our hubs until your new home is ready, and your coordinator can hold or release the shipment as your plans firm up.
Where we move you
Across Europe, we move you by road and ferry directly from our own hubs, which is where our scheduled corridors and groupage savings apply. Popular routes between the Nordics, the UK, the Baltics, Central Europe, France, Iberia and the Mediterranean run regularly, so you’re rarely waiting long for the next departure.
For overseas moves, we ship by sea or air through our vetted local partners to destinations including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and across Asia. Sea freight suits full households where cost matters more than speed; air freight suits smaller, urgent shipments. Either way, the coordination, updates and customs support come from Flyto.
What international removals cost
Every move is priced individually, so rather than quote figures that wouldn’t fit your situation, here are the drivers that actually move the price. Volume is the big one: international removals are largely priced by cubic metres (m³), so decluttering before the survey genuinely lowers your quote. Distance and route matter, as does whether the leg travels by road, ferry, sea or air. Groupage versus sole-use is often the largest lever of all: sharing a consolidated load is far cheaper than paying for a dedicated vehicle or container. Access at both ends affects cost too, such as narrow streets, high floors without a lift, or long carry distances. Finally, season plays a part, as summer and month-ends are busier and book up faster. Tell us your inventory and addresses and we’ll turn these into a clear, fixed quote.
Customs made simple
Customs is where many international moves stall, so we take it off your plate. Within the EU, free movement of goods means no customs declaration is needed between member states. Moving to the UK after Brexit, most people relocating their main residence can claim Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief to import their used household goods without duty, and we guide you through the application. For non-EU/EEA destinations, such as Norway or Switzerland, a customs declaration is required for your belongings. In every case, we prepare and handle the paperwork with you so nothing gets held at the border for a missing form.
Why choose Flyto
Customers rate us 4.9 out of 5 from more than 500 reviews, our moves are fully insured door-to-door, and everything is coordinated in clear English by a single named contact. You get the reach of a European network with the accountability of one company, and none of the local-office lottery you get when a move is handed off to whoever holds the other end. That combination, our own European hubs plus carefully vetted partners overseas, is why families and professionals trust us with the whole move. It also means the person who quotes your move is the person who stands behind it, so questions get answered quickly and promises are kept by the same team from start to finish.
How the process works
The path is deliberately simple. First, a survey, done by video or in person, so we understand exactly what you’re moving. Next, a clear fixed quote with no hidden extras. When you’re happy, you book your dates. Our team then handles packing, followed by transport along the fastest suitable corridor by road, ferry, sea or air. Finally, delivery to your new home, with unpacking and reassembly if you’ve chosen them. Your coordinator keeps you updated at every stage.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an international move cost? There’s no flat figure because pricing depends mainly on your volume in m³, the route and transport mode, and whether you share a groupage load or take sole use. A free survey turns all of that into a fixed quote.
How long does an international move take? Within Europe, scheduled road and ferry corridors often deliver within days to a couple of weeks. Overseas sea freight typically takes several weeks depending on the destination, while air freight is much faster for smaller shipments.
Do you pack for me? Yes. We offer full professional packing and unpacking, including wrapping, dismantling and reassembly, or you can pack yourself and have us handle only the transport.
What’s the difference between groupage and sole-use? Groupage means your belongings share a consolidated load with other shipments, so you pay only for your space, which is cheaper. Sole-use means a dedicated vehicle or container just for you, which is faster and more flexible but costs more.
Are my belongings insured? Yes. All our moves are fully insured door to door, and your coordinator will explain the cover before you book.
Which countries do you move to? We move throughout Europe by road and ferry from our own hubs, and overseas by sea and air to destinations including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and across Asia via vetted local partners.
