Removals to Germany from the UK

Road freight removal times from the UK to Germany will vary depending on whether you choose a dedicated service or a part load service. To ensure speedier delivery we recommend contacting us and booking weeks in advance of your move.

Average removal/transportation times to Germany from the UK

NB: These are average transportation times – actual time will depend on a number of factors.

Most people who move to Germany use our part load removal service which is especially useful for small removals. You will save money as it enables you to share the costs and benefit from economies of scale. This service does however take longer to arrive.

Your belongings are loaded onto a removals van or larger European road train to be sent via road freight to your destination.

Alternatively, if you have a large move to Germany, you can use our dedicated or full load service. With the full load service, you will have your own lorry with a crew. This allows for greater flexibility and is a lot faster. However, most of our customers use a part load service as it is more cost-effective.

Whether you use full load or part load, you are in safe hands with PSS International Removals.

We are able to help you send  vehicles overseas including cars, motorcycles, motorhomes and caravans to Germany. They can be transported in the same vehicle or container as your household goods or sent separately.
