Removals to Italy

It depends on how much you're moving, where in Italy you're heading and whether you choose a dedicated vehicle or a shared part load. Italy is a longer route than most of our European destinations, which also factors into the price. We provide a free, no-obligation quote rather than working from an average figure.

Transit time depends on your collection point, your Italian destination and whether you book a dedicated or shared-load service. Northern destinations such as Milan and Turin generally involve less driving distance than Rome, Naples or further south, and Alpine crossing conditions can also affect timing depending on the season. Your coordinator confirms a realistic transit window once they know your route and chosen service.

You'll typically need a valid passport, a full inventory of the goods being shipped and proof you're relocating your main home, such as a lease or property purchase contract. Transfer of Residence relief may apply and can reduce import duty and VAT where it does. We confirm exactly what applies to your move and handle the paperwork as part of the service.

You can, but it will generally need to be registered with the Italian authorities if you're relocating permanently, which involves customs declaration, a roadworthiness check and Italian-compliant insurance. Requirements can change, so check current gov.uk guidance and speak to your coordinator when you're planning the vehicle side of the move.

The paperwork and customs process are the same regardless of destination. What changes is access. Rural properties in Tuscany or lakeside addresses around Como and Garda are more about the final approach road and vehicle size, while Rome and Milan involve more planning around city centre parking, narrow streets and building access.
