Removals toLyon
Regular UK departures to France's second city. We handle the drive, the customs paperwork and delivery to Lyon - packing, part-loads or a full dedicated lorry, quoted as one fixed price.
France's second business city, and its capital of good living
Lyon is France's second-largest business hub - home to Interpol, a strong banking, pharmaceutical and tech base, and a Part-Dieu business district that draws professionals from across Europe, with Paris just two hours away by TGV.
It is also France's gastronomic capital, with an enviable quality of life - which is why so many relocating families and professionals put it near the top of their list. The route and the paperwork are things we run every week.
UK to Lyon, step by step
After a quick survey — in person or over video — you get a fixed, itemised quote. Then it runs like this.
We collect and pack in the UK
Our crew loads at your door. Add professional packing, or we drop materials if you would rather do it yourself.
We cross and clear customs
Ferry or Eurotunnel, then the drive south. Since Brexit you will need Transfer of Residence relief and an inventory - we prepare both so nothing stalls at the border.
We deliver to your door
Unloaded, and reassembled where you want it. Most moves complete within a few days of departure.
What moving into Lyon actually involves
Vieux Lyon - the Renaissance old town on the Saone - is a warren of narrow cobbled pedestrian streets and covered passageways (traboules) where a full-size lorry cannot go. For apartments there we plan a shuttle van or external lift in advance.
The steep slopes of the Croix-Rousse and the dense Presqu'ile also shape access and parking. The Part-Dieu district and outer neighbourhoods are far more straightforward for a standard lorry.

How much does a removal to Lyon from the UK cost?
A removal from the UK to Lyon typically costs between £700 and £4,500 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 | £700 - £1,200 | 3-7 days |
| Studio / 1-bed | 15-20 m³ | £1,000 - £1,550 | 3-7 days |
| 2-bed home | 25-30 m³ | £1,600 - £2,350 | 3-6 days |
| 3-bed home | 35-45 m³ | £2,250 - £3,200 | 3-6 days |
| 4-bed home or larger | 50-65 m³ | £3,100 - £4,500 | 3-6 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 Lyon 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.
