Your journey with us:

It all begins when our friendly and experienced driver arrives at your doorstep. Trained in heavy lifting, he will help you carry all your treasured items out of the house and load them carefully into our state of the art van. Once everything is packed in, neatly and securely, it’s off to Italy we go!

We know we’re transporting your most valued belongings, so to put your mind at ease we’ll keep you updated throughout the whole trip, and we’ll even give you a courtesy call two hours before we arrive at the destination. This way you can get ready to unpack your TV and your favourite sofa.

Two hours after our call you’ll be greeted by the same cheerful driver, who’ll help you carry all your belongings into your new home. It really couldn’t be any simpler.

Documents you’ll need to move to Italy:

In this post-Brexit reality, all domestic removals between the UK and Italy are now performed under a Transfer of Residence procedure. In order to satisfy the requirements of this procedure, some extensive paperwork is necessary. In the worst case scenario, after failing to achieve the Transfer of Residence status, you would be charged the import VAT for your goods at the rate of 22% of their total value.

We will need the following documents in order to collect your goods:

A copy of ID card or Passport.
A certificate of residence issued by the local council in Italy to certify residency. Alternatively, suppose the Italian customs agent agrees, a copy of the application for a certificate of residence.
A detailed, signed packing list with the value, size and weight of each listed item. Please fill in all fields provided in VanOne Insurance Form.
A UK certificate of residence or other evidence that you’ve lived in the UK at least for the last 12 months (e.g. 12 months of council tax bills or bank statements showing address).
A self-certificate (please use mod F-01 A form) to inform the customs authorities that you’ve used the household objects at your usual residence in the UK for more than six months and that you won’t sell, rent or pledge them after receiving them in your new place and that you aim to remain an EU resident for at least one year.
Completed and signed Italian government form 46DPR
Signed declaration Libera Importazione Aggiornata
A signed authorization for the customs clearance agent to act as your direct representative. A blank form will be supplied to you by VanOne after you confirm your booking.

You must print and sign all the documents and have them ready for the driver in a large envelope. Please also supply completed documents electronically via the customer portal for verification.

The documents above will have to be prepared and handed over before your the day of your move. Another form we will need is a CMR – but the driver will provide you with it on the day of collection.

If you want to speed up the process or find out more you might want to contact your local customs office in Italy.

You can also visit this government resource for more information about bringing personal effects to Italy (or the Dutch Government website for information in the English language).

How to prepare:

The British Army has an old saying: proper planning prevents poor performance. This applies to moving too. To keep your possessions as secure and as safe as possible during transit, we recommend you pack loose items in suitcases or boxes. Place padding on furniture, or cover it up.

If you require any packing materials, please check our online store. Here you can order protective blankets and heavy-duty shrink wrap.

How long does the removals to Italy take to complete?

The average drive from the UK to Italy is just 28 hours, so before you know it you’ll be relaxing in the comfort of your new home.

When moving from Scotland or Wales, transit times can take up to 48 hours.
If goods being transported are less than the maximum loading capacity of the vehicle (<15 cubic meters) it could take five days for delivery. For further details, click here.

How to get cheap removals to Italy from the UK:

When people are preparing for a move from the UK to Italy, they often turn to the search engines to find a cheap international removals deal. However, it is easy to fall into the trap of paying more for your removals, unless you know how to tell a middleman agency from a genuine removals brand. Here, VanOne tells you how to secure cheap removals to Italy.

Price comparison sites and middleman services often rank more highly in Google and the other search engines. They may appear to offer the cheapest removals to Italy. However, these sites pass your lead onto a removals company, for a fee. The charge is often passed to the customer in the overall price you pay.
cheapest removals can be found by contacting a genuine removals firm like VanOne directly. We offer great deals on house and flat removals to Italy.

How to avoid paying middleman fees for removals to Italy

If you can tell a genuine removals brand from a fake brand set up by a middleman agency, you can make sure you don’t pay too much for house removals to Italy. Some middleman services create fake brands and websites in order to generate leads, which are given to removals and shipping companies in exchange for commission fees. Here are some tips from VanOne which will help you determine whether a removals company is real.

Visit the Companies House website and search for the company name. If an international removals brand is registered to operate from the UK, it is required to appear on this list. If you can’t find the brand name, it is safer – and cheaper – to choose another company.
Look at the removals company’s website and pay attention to the images. A genuine brand will take the opportunity to show off photographs of its own vans and people. A fake brand is likely to use stock images sourced from libraries online.

Protect your possessions during your move to Italy

When you move to Italy from the UK, you need a reliable, safe removals company who will look after your possessions. A middleman service might pass your goods onto a shipping or haulage firm, or a low budget removals service. Your goods may travel through various locations and storage facilities before they arrive in Italy. Each time your belongings are loaded and unloaded, there is also an increased risk of loss or damage.

VanOne also offers international removals, but we travel directly from Point A to Point B. Your possessions are kept securely in our vans during the journey, and unloaded at your new address in Italy. For added peace of mind, we are protected by Goods in Transit insurance at all times. Put your trust in VanOne for your UK to Italy move – call now.
