Part load removals to Spain services

A part load removals to Spain service allows you to share a vehicle with other customers who also need goods moving from the UK to Spain. Your household items will be packed on a date agreed and transported to an international warehouse, where they will be consolidated onto a European vehicle destined for Spain, or you can prepare the boxes of goods yourself and the company will advise you when they will collect from you.

As you are sharing vehicle capacity with others, you may have to be a little flexible on collection and arrival times, but this is by far the cheapest type of Spanish removal. Removers often have regular lorries departing to and arriving from Spain, so if you can get your items included on a vehicle with others via Delivery Quote Compare, it will save you money.

Direct load removals

If you select a direct load service for your removals to Spain, your household goods will be packed at your home and loaded into a dedicated vehicle heading direct to your final destination. If you are moving the whole family to Spain and have a lot of household effects, this may be the level of service you need. This is because it is totally flexible and the work can be scheduled to your timescales, so the removers arrive at your new home when you want them to, making for a smooth removal process to Spain.

Spain removals – think about access to property

Moving to Spain can be quite straight forward, however once in Spain the logistics need to be carefully planned. If you are moving to the town, rather than the country, be aware of potential difficulties with access. Narrow streets, parking restrictions and apartment blocks can all pose their own particular problems when unloading.

If there are difficulties accessing your property, a company with experience in removals to Spain should be able to arrange specialist equipment including hoists to access apartments and smaller vehicles to act as shuttles if the large removals lorry can’t get down those narrow Spanish country lanes. Ensure that you discuss this with the removals company before your worldly goods are on their way to Spain, as it could lead to extra costs and lost time.
