Expert international removals to France

The cost of removals to France isn’t one-size-fits-all, it depends on a few key details. Things like how far you’re going, how much you’re bringing, the size of the van you’ll need, and whether you want help with packing or furniture assembly all come into play.

For smaller moves - say a one-bedroom flat from the UK - you could be looking at around £500. For larger home removals to France or longer-distance moves, costs can rise to £1,000 or more.

Want to keep removal costs of UK to France in check? Packing and prepping your items yourself can save a chunk, just give yourself plenty of time. It’s a bigger job than it looks (and no one wants a last-minute flat-pack fiasco).

This depends on the international removal company you choose, but with AnyVan, every move includes expert transportation, loading, and unloading – plus all ferry fees and tolls covered as standard. You’ll also have a dedicated moving expert to guide you through the process, with customs agents included to handle any tricky paperwork.

Need help with packing, dismantling furniture, or extra manpower? Simply select these options when booking your inventory, and we’ll make sure your move goes smoothly from start to finish.

Yes! We can offer a packing service. You just need to let us know if that’s what you want when you fill in your inventory. If you let us know, we'll take care of it all: providing the packing materials, packing up your home, and even dismantling and reassembling any furniture you want us to. So you can kick back and enjoy your new home. Remember, you’ll still need to unpack your items yourself, but finding the perfect spot for everything is the best bit of making a house a home.

The main thing is to always do your research properly. We always recommend getting a couple of quotes from international removal companies so that you can compare - just make sure you’re not comparing apples with oranges!

For instance, is some basic compensation cover included? And, importantly, have they done this before? It’s always safest to use someone with a good reputation to move your belongings abroad. Reviews are also a great place to look - you can see ours on Trustpilot where we’re rated ‘excellent’ based on more than 150k reviews!

Moving abroad can feel like a big deal - and honestly, it is. From sorting your utility accounts to securing permits for the removal van, there’s a lot to think about. But don’t let the admin put you off. We’ve got loads of tips to help you prepare for international removals, and most people who’ve made the leap will tell you: it’s 100% worth it.

Choosing a trusted international removal company shouldn’t be the hard part. That’s why we’re here - to make your move simple, stress-free, and surprisingly affordable.

First things first, you need to do some serious planning as different destinations will have different requirements. Consider how long you plan to live abroad - do you really need to bring everything with you? If not, it might be cheaper to keep some of your stuff in storage. 

Once you know roughly when you're moving and how much you’ll be taking with you, it’s best to start getting a few quotes from international removals companies so that you can compare prices and experience. We recommend booking in advance to get the best price. 

For a big move like this, it’s usually also worth investing in international moving insurance. You’ll also need to prepare any documentation (visas, driving licences etc.) and notify your utilities suppliers, and any other people or companies that you’re moving. You might also need to organise an end-of-tenancy clean if you’re renting or any remedial work to be made to your property if you’re selling up.
