Booking a European removal with MuveOne is as simple as booking flights online. Here’s how:

Absolutely! After completing the online booking process, you will be asked to pay the booking deposit, typically around 25% of the total service price. The remaining balance must be paid online by card no later than the day of collection.

MuveOne provides quotes for only 5, 10, 15, and 30 cubic metres. For moves larger than 30 cubic metres, please contact MuveOne customer services.

Indeed, we provide weekend collections from customers in all countries listed, with the exception of Switzerland and Norway.

Once you have completed your booking, we will email you the Insurance Form. You need to fill in this MS Excel form, stating all the items you will be moving and their values, and send it back to us. In case of any incidents during the journey, the insurer will refer to this list to determine the value of your loss.

Unfortunately, you can only use the amount of space you ordered. Our standard vans have a total capacity of 20 cubic metres, but we allow customers to utilize only up to 15 cubic metres. This restriction is in place to ensure the van does not exceed the weight limit of 1200kg and remains safe for travel.

It is the customer’s responsibility to prepare all goods for removal. We kindly request that you securely pack and protect your items before the driver arrives.

Absolutely! Your goods are insured with Goods in Transit insurance for up to £20,275. In the event of any unforeseen incidents during transportation, such as a ferry sinking or a motorway accident, you can make a claim to recover the loss.

We understand the importance of the safe delivery of your items. You have the option to purchase Heavy Duty Shrink Wrap and Furniture Removal Protective Blankets from an online or nearest shop. Using these, you can carefully wrap and pack your household items, significantly reducing the risk of damage.

MuveOne specializes in residential removals and exclusively carries household appliances, furniture, personal effects, and other household items. However, there are certain items that cannot be transported since Brexit. You cannot transport:

  • Perishable food items such as fish, meat, milk, or dairy products.
  • Live plants, whether potted or unpotted.
  • Refrigerated or frozen food or beverages.
  • animals, along with their cages or tanks, such as pets, birds, or fish.
  • Jewellery, watches, trinkets, precious stones, money, deeds, securities, stamps, coins, or similar valuable collections.
  • Potentially dangerous, damaging, or explosive items.
  • Goods are likely to encourage vermin, pests, or cause infection.
  • Cars, boats, and caravans.
  • Furs, perfumery, food items, or perishable goods.
  • Goods that exceed the designated space in the vehicle for your items.

Additionally, the following goods are not exempt from import VAT or any other fees:

  • Alcoholic beverages, tobacco, or tobacco products
  • Commercial means of transport.
  • Except for portable instruments of the applied or liberal arts, this category encompasses articles intended for use in the exercise of a trade or profession

You can conveniently pay for your removal in advance using your credit or debit card on our website. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Amex, Maestro, and JCB cards. All the services and products you order from MuveOne will be billed through two or three invoices. You will receive one invoice for your booking deposit, one for the remaining balance, and one for the packaging materials (if you order them from us).

MuveOne offers options to book 5, 10, 15, or 30 cubic metres of space in the van(s). If you book a full van (15 or 30 cubic metres), you have complete control over the day and time of collection. For cost-saving purposes, you can book a partial space in the van (5 or 10 cubic metres), which significantly reduces the price. However, in such cases, you need to be flexible with the collection date. When booking 5 or 10 cubic metres, during the checkout process, you select the latest day of collection. We are then obliged to load your items on that day or up to two days before the chosen date.

For example, if you are moving 5 cubic metres from London to Paris and your preferred collection date is the 16th of January, you should have your belongings ready for collection from the 14th of January. We will contact you at least 8 hours before the collection and deliver your items no later than 3 days after collection.

MuveOne offers competitive prices because we provide space in the van and a helpful driver. Additionally, we maintain an extensive network of vans across the European Union, ensuring our vehicles never travel empty and waste diesel.

The driver can help you with the following:

Once you book our service, we will inform you about the estimated duration of the removal and provide you with the delivery date, typically within the next day or 48 hours after loading. Additionally, we will call you at least two hours prior to the van’s arrival at your new address in Europe to provide you with the exact arrival time.

Customers are responsible for arranging suitable parking. It is important to ensure that the van can park in close proximity to the loading or unloading location.

If your paperwork is questioned by customs at the border, you will be required to come to the border and provide the necessary documentation to satisfy the customs officer. Therefore, it is crucial to take extra care when filling out your documents to minimize the possibility of any issues.

In such a scenario, we will weigh the vehicle when boarding the ferry. If it turns out that the driver was correct and the vehicle is overloaded, we will arrange for another vehicle to transfer the excess load. You will be charged at a rate of 80p per kilometer driven by the additional vehicle. It’s important to note that the legal weight limit for vans in Europe is 3500 kg.

The driver, based on experience and by observing the level of the vehicle suspension during the loading process, can estimate the weight of all the items loaded onto the van. If the suspension level reaches the vehicle’s loading capacity limit, the driver will request that you refrain from loading additional items.

The total cubic capacity of our van is 20 cubic metres. One-quarter of that capacity is equivalent to five cubic metres. We load all your items into the van and use a tape measure to calculate their total volume.

The total weight of an empty vehicle is 2300 kg. We weigh the loaded vehicle when boarding the ferry to France and subtract the weight of the empty vehicle from the total weight of the loaded vehicle. For example: Loaded vehicle = 3500 kg – Empty vehicle = 2300 kg = Weight of cargo 1200 kg

The weight limit for all EU countries is set at 1200 kg for a 15m3 load. However, there are three exceptions to this rule for Norway, Austria, and Switzerland. The weight limits for a cargo load of 15m3 are as follows:

  • Norway: 900 kg
  • Switzerland: 900 kg
  • Austria: 1000 kg

Absolutely! We are happy to assist with your move even if you are not a citizen of the UK, EU, Switzerland, or Norway. However, before ordering our services, we recommend contacting the consulates of the country you plan to move to for information regarding their customs and immigration policies.

In such a situation, we will transport all of your belongings back to our London hub in the UK, where they will be securely stored. You will be billed for the return journey, which will be the same as the initial quote for the outbound journey. Additionally, you will incur charges for the storage and labour required to unload the vehicle into storage, at a rate of £50 per hour. The specific storage fees can be found at www.safestore.co.uk.

If you ordered five cubic metres of space (300 kg) and find that it is not enough, please note that the driver can only transport the amount agreed upon prior to the removal date. Therefore, the driver will not be able to accommodate more than the allocated space, whether it’s five cubic metres or a larger quote.
