Removals toFrankfurt
The shortest run we make into Germany. Regular departures from the UK to Frankfurt, with the customs relief, the building booking and the parking permit handled as part of the job.
The move that follows the job
Frankfurt is the most corporate move we run. A great deal of it followed the banks after Brexit, and it still arrives that way: a start date, a relocation allowance, a serviced flat for the first month and a permanent address found later. The city is compact, heavily international, and the shortest German drive from the UK, which is why it is often the first move people make into the country rather than the last.
Because so much of it is employer-led, timing is usually fixed and inflexible. Tell us the date you need to be in and we will work backwards from it, including the survey, the customs paperwork and the building slot.
UK to Frankfurt, step by step
After a quick survey — in person or over video — you get a fixed, itemised quote. Then it runs like this.
We survey and fix the price
Video walkthrough or an in-person visit. One itemised number covering collection, the crossing, customs and delivery, including the furniture lift and parking permit where your building needs them.
We collect, pack and clear customs
Our crew loads at your door. Eurotunnel or ferry, then north through Belgium. Since Brexit you need Transfer of Residence relief and a valued inventory to bring belongings in duty free, and we prepare both so nothing stalls at the border.
We deliver into your home
Not to the pavement. We apply for the Halteverbotszone so the lorry can park legally, bring a Moebelaufzug if the stairwell will not take your furniture, and reassemble what we took apart.
What moving into a Frankfurt apartment actually involves
Frankfurt splits into two quite different deliveries. In the modern towers around the Bankenviertel and the Europaviertel there is usually a service lift and a loading bay, but you cannot just turn up: the building manager books the lift in slots, often only on weekdays and sometimes for a fixed two-hour window, and a padded lift protects the finishes. We arrange that booking in advance because a missed slot can mean waiting a day.
The Altbau streets of Nordend, Westend and Bornheim are the opposite problem. Narrow entrance halls, a small retrofitted lift that will not take a sofa, and residential parking on both sides of the street. There we apply for a Halteverbotszone to hold the kerb and bring a Moebelaufzug if the staircase will not take the load. Frankfurt also runs an Umweltzone over the whole city area, so vehicles carry a green Umweltplakette.

How much does a removal to Frankfurt from the UK cost?
A removal from the UK to Frankfurt typically costs between £750 and £4,800 depending on the volume you are moving, and takes 3-7 days door to door. A shared part-load is the cheapest way to move a smaller home; a dedicated vehicle is faster and suits a full household.
| Move size | Volume | Typical cost | Door-to-door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part load | 5-10 m³ | £750 - £1,250 | 3-7 days |
| Studio / 1-bed | 15-20 m³ | £1,100 - £1,650 | 3-7 days |
| 2-bed home | 25-30 m³ | £1,700 - £2,500 | 3-5 days |
| 3-bed home | 35-45 m³ | £2,400 - £3,400 | 3-5 days |
| 4-bed home or larger | 50-65 m³ | £3,300 - £4,800 | 3-5 days |
- Every figure includes loading, the crossing, fuel, tolls and delivery into the room.
- Access affects the price: a parking permit, a lift booking or an external furniture lift are priced at survey, not added on the day.
- Transfer of Residence relief means no duty or VAT on your own household goods when you are moving your main home, and we prepare the paperwork with you.
The table above is a guide. Your exact price comes from a free survey.
The cost of a move to Frankfurt varies with more than the number of rooms. What shapes your price:
- The size of your home — a studio, a two-bed flat and a four-bed house are very different volumes to move.
- Access at both ends — stairs, lifts, narrow streets or a long carry all affect the job.
- Packing — full professional packing, fragile items only, or you pack yourself.
- Dedicated lorry or shared part-load — the space and timing your move needs.
- Storage & specialist items — pianos, artwork, or storage either side of the Channel.
