Alltranz Removals runs European removals from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate, Broad March, Daventry NN11 4HE. We are Road Haulage Association members, Move Assured accredited, and hold an International CPC alongside a Waste Carriers Licence. Our crew has made over fifty European trips, covering Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and the islands. For european removals customers that means a logistics-grade operation: tracked fleet with SATNAV and dash cams, containerised storage at our Daventry site for chain gaps, and paperwork handled for every customs regime we run.
We are a family-run Daventry business. You deal with a person rather than a job title at every stage, from the survey call through to delivery at your European address.
Our haulage credentials go deeper than a standard removals licence. Road Haulage Association membership, Move Assured accreditation, an International CPC and a Waste Carriers Licence give us the legal and operational clearance to move household goods across EU borders under customs control. The fleet runs SATNAV, trackers and dash cams on every run. Containerised storage at our Daventry depot in 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers is available short or long term when UK completions and European handovers do not align.
If you are planning a European move, call us on 01327 876007 or fill in the quote form and we will confirm what the job involves.
We run regular routes to the following destinations. Each page covers the specific route, paperwork requirements and delivery windows:
For Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Ireland, call 01327 876007. If we have run the route, we will tell you exactly what to expect. If it is a new destination, we will research it properly before quoting.
For moves outside Europe, including Australia and long-haul destinations, see our international removals page.
Since January 2021, moving from the UK to any EU country is treated as an international export. Your belongings leave the UK under customs control and must be cleared through EU customs on arrival. Alltranz handles this paperwork on every European move we run.
The key relief available to most movers is Transfer of Residence. Under this framework, personal household goods can be imported into an EU country duty-free, provided you meet the qualifying conditions: items must have been in your possession for more than six months, and you must be making a permanent or long-term move.
Documents you will typically need:
Requirements vary by country. France, Spain and Portugal each have their own customs agent requirements. Alltranz prepares the paperwork for the specific destination and flags any country-specific steps before the truck leaves Daventry.

Export packing matters more on a long road journey than on a local move, so our guide to packing materials for an international move explains what to use and what to avoid.
Choosing between a full load and a part load depends on volume and delivery flexibility.
A dedicated vehicle carries only your goods. The truck loads at your UK address and delivers directly to your European address without consolidation stops. Delivery windows are tighter: typically two to three days for France, four to six days for Spain and Portugal. Best suited to families, larger homes and moves with a fixed completion date.
Your goods share trailer space with other consignments heading in the same direction. This is more cost-effective for smaller volumes, but delivery windows are wider because the trailer needs to fill and route to multiple stops. A part load to southern Spain or the Algarve can carry a 14-day delivery window.
A rough guide:
UK completions and European property handovers rarely land on the same day. When there is a gap, Alltranz stores your belongings at our Daventry depot in containerised, secure storage, available short or long term. Storage uses 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers with staffed access. This is not self-storage: access is managed by our team on site.
Once you have a confirmed move-in date, we load the truck and run the European leg. The whole job stays under one account, with no third-party handovers and no re-quoting.
Goods-in-transit cover is an important part of any European removal. For a plain-English explanation of what is and is not covered, read our removals insurance guide.

Since January 2021, your belongings are treated as an international export and must clear EU customs on arrival. Most movers qualify for Transfer of Residence relief, which allows household goods to enter duty-free if they have been in your possession for more than six months and you are making a permanent or long-term move. You will need a passport copy, proof of your UK address for the previous 12 months, proof of your new EU address, a signed customs inventory and a non-cession certificate. Alltranz prepares the full paperwork pack for your specific destination before the truck leaves Daventry.
Delivery windows depend on destination and load type. Full loads to France typically run two to three days from collection. Full loads to Spain and Portugal run four to six days. Part loads carry wider windows of up to 14 days for southern Spain and the Algarve, as the trailer routes to multiple stops. We confirm the window in writing when we issue your quote.
A full load gives you a dedicated vehicle: your goods travel from your UK address directly to your European address without stops. A part load shares trailer space with other consignments going the same direction, which reduces the cost for smaller volumes but extends the delivery window. As a rough guide, a three-bedroom home or larger works best as a full load; a one or two-bedroom flat or apartment may suit a part load. Call 01327 876007 once you have an idea of volume and we will confirm which option fits.
