Why Marseille

A Mediterranean port city on the rise

Marseille is France's second-largest city and its great Mediterranean port - a diverse, energetic place with a fast-growing tech and startup scene around the Euromediterranee regeneration district, and business links across the region and beyond.

From apartments near the Vieux-Port to newer developments and the surrounding calanques coastline, it draws people relocating for work and for the southern way of life. The route is one we know well.

How the move works

UK to Marseille, step by step

After a quick survey — in person or over video — you get a fixed, itemised quote. Then it runs like this.

01

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.

02

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.

03

We deliver to your door

Unloaded, and reassembled where you want it. Most moves complete within a few days of departure.

Local access & logistics

What moving into Marseille actually involves

Le Panier - Marseille's oldest quarter - climbs the hill above the Vieux-Port in steep, narrow lanes where a full lorry cannot pass, so we plan a shuttle for access there.

The dense city centre has tight parking and restricted zones that shape delivery timing. The Euromediterranee district and outer neighbourhoods are far more straightforward for a standard lorry.

What it costs

How much does a removal to Marseille from the UK cost?

A removal from the UK to Marseille 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.

  • 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 Marseille 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.

Marseille move FAQs

Questions people ask us about this route

How much does a removal from the UK to Marseille cost?
Typically between £700 for a small shared part-load and £4,500 for a large four-bed household. The exact figure depends on volume, access at both ends and whether you take a dedicated vehicle or share one. A free survey gives you one fixed, itemised price.
Do I need customs paperwork moving to Marseille after Brexit?
Yes. Most people qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief, which lets you bring belongings without import duty when relocating your main home, plus a detailed inventory. We prepare both with you as part of the move.
How long does delivery to Marseille take?
Marseille is a longer haul south, so most moves take 3-6 days depending on load size and the next weekly departure.
Can you access Le Panier and the old quarters?
Yes, though the oldest quarters climb the hill in steep, narrow lanes. We assess access in advance and use a shuttle where a full lorry cannot reach.
Do you handle part loads, or only full house moves?
Both. A shared part-load on our weekly France run is the most cost-effective option for smaller moves.
