Moving to Europe.
European Removals.
What happens?
Our EU Removals are similar to our UK Removals and as such our method is the same. We will meet with you to discuss the whole move and arrange a time and date that best suits your requirements.
How long does it take?
As we are sure you'll appreciate, the length of time it takes is very dependent on the amount to move and the location to move to, but we pride ourselves on offering a first class professional service.
Obviously European removals and relocations are a little different from moving somewhere in the UK, as there may be more items to move, there are ferry/tunnel crossings to factor-in, and normally a larger distance to cover.
This isn’t an issue, with two drivers, we are confident that with an average move, we can reach most of France in a single day!
U Call I Haul is your first choice for European removals.
Fully comprehensive European insurance cover - U Call I Haul has an impressive £100,000 contents insurance in conjunction with a £1,000,000 public liability policy as standard.
Our team of movers and co-ordinators can make a potentially very difficult process easy for you and your family, or your business.
We offer both residential and commercial European removal services and we specialise in handling large amounts of furniture, possessions and equipment.
Whether it is a small apartment or a large office, we have the teams and the expertise to ensure that your move is a smooth transition.
Our prices are all fully inclusive: mileage, diesel, driver, Eurotunel/ferry fares, and toll charges are all incorporated into your quote - so no hidden charges are ever applied.
Removals Destinations.
Any long-distance travel has country-specific particularities - such as road conditions and suitability, various local restrictions, geography, language and customs. The combination of all these factors has a complexity that requires careful planning prior your removal date.
Your removal company should have the experience and planning capability in order to ensure a smooth, stress-free trip.
For many years U Call I Haul has moved its customers to popular foreign locations. Although mainly in France, we have travelled as far South Easterly as Malta.
Whether you are relocating to France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Malta, Eire, Greece or Belgium (and anywhere else in between!), U Call I Haul can help.
If you intend to relocate within the EU, U Call I Haul can help. Please complete either the "Free Quote form", or contact us directly by calling:

SUMMARY of SERVICE
The Removal Vehicles ~ We use LWB Panel Vans (with fully enclosed box trailers if required) as removal vehicles so that we can achieve access to your door. These also allow us to operate throughout France on Sundays and holidays and access resorts where restrictions apply. Personal Service ~ Throughout our communications you will be speaking with our Logistics Co-ordinators Russell or Philip
To make your move most cost effective for you, our service is a "self-pack" collection and delivery service. This means that you pack your own cartons and prepare your possessions ahead of the removal.
Removal Cartons/Boxes ~ We ask that you use suitable, strong packing cartons/boxes. We recommend an average size of 45cmX45cmX45cm for ease of lifting and security.
Are My Items Mixed With Other Peoples? ~ ALL of our shipments are for you, our client, and you only. Once your items are loaded they stay as they are in the vehicle. We collect and your driver/s will assist you to load the removal vehicle. Everything should be packed/boxed, on the ground floor with easy access and ready for a pre-customs and Inventory check from our driver. We can arrange for extra porters to negate the need for you to help to load the vehicle, please enquire.
Whoops I Forgot to Mention the Grand Piano! ~ We rely on your Inventory of items to calculate volume, we need you to be honest and accurate. We cannot accept responsibility if items have to be left behind.
Storage ~ Can't be at your new home in time for your delivery? We offer secure storage within a secure storage area at specialist depots. We will take your consignment into storage and then deliver to your destination on a day that best suits you. We also offer short-term storage when availability allows. We deliver ~ Your driver will assist you to unload and check off the goods against the Inventory. We can arrange for extra porters to negate the need for you to help to un-load the vehicle, please enquire
Contacting your driver en-route~ you will be provided with your driver/s mobile telephone number should you wish to make contact at any time.
How do I book? ~ Please advise our office of your intention to book, then availability can be checked for you. We then complete a thorough Inventory with you either by viewing at your collection address, or via email to ensure that no items have been omitted. We rely on your accuracy and cannot accept liability for items not listed (the inventory not only dictates the volume supplied but is also used at Customs if they should require a copy). After receipt of your cleared deposit, a confirmation email will be sent to you.
When do I pay? ~ Deposit at time of booking to secure and confirm your transport, this can be made via cheque, bank transfer, PayPal or cash. Only a deposit can secure your dates and removal! The balance is to be paid to the driver/s upon collection of your goods in cash. Alternatively, payments may be instigated 5 days prior to collection.
Most of all, relax! - this is your new life - let us do the difficult bits!

ADVICE & TIPS from the team
PACKING FOR YOUR REMOVAL TO FRANCE
- SORT! Take a ruthless view on items you may not use or want. It is so much easier to take a few trips to the Dechetterie/Tip before your move.
- PACKING CARTONS We advise you to use strong packing cartons, avoid large cartons and don't overload them, consider the weight and stability/stackability of each.
- FRAGILITY You must mark the boxes "FRAGILE", "VERY FRAGILE" or "THIS WAY UP"
- BOOKS Are very heavy, please ensure good SMALL cartons with strong bases are used and that each carton can easily be handled.
- CLOTHING You could consider the hanging cartons available saving lots of ironing the other side!
- APPLIANCES Empty and clean thoroughly. Washing machines: use the stability bolts for the drum supplied when you bought the machine.
- OFFICE EQUIPMENT For example; fax machines, PC's, printers, scanners etc - these must all be boxed and not loose. LCD screens must be well padded to avoid any scratching by movement of the vehicle.
- CHINA AND GLASS Line the carton with newspaper and wrap individually in tissue or newspaper. Make sure they are well padded.
- PLATES, RECORDS AND CDS Stand on side, don't pack flat.
- SELF ASSEMBLY FURNITURE is not designed to be moved whole. Disassemble the furniture removing and packing all parts. MDF wardbrobes, for example, tend to be designed for a one-off build - they do not go back together well at all.
- FURNITURE should have all cushions and loose covers removed and packed separately.
- BEDS disassemble beds, cover & seal mattresses with plastic sheeting. Pack bed clothing separately.
- MOTORISED EQUIPMENT ensure fuel tanks are close to empty. Please advise your driver if you suspect any oil leaks.
- PLANTS or ANIMALS we occasionally carry plants, drivers discretion, we do not carry animals.
- FLAMMABLE ITEMS such as petrol, paraffin, paint, gas bottles etc cannot be carried by us.
