FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The time it takes to move from the UK to Germany depends on the type of service you choose. Road freight removals typically take between 1 to 4 weeks, depending on whether you select a dedicated or part-load service. For a faster option, air freight usually takes around 7 to 14 days. These are average transportation times and may vary depending on factors such as your collection and delivery locations, shipment size, and the time of year. To ensure the quickest and smoothest delivery, it’s recommended to book your move several weeks in advance.
Our flexible removals to Germany offer many options for transporting your belongings. Depending on the size of your house move, dedicated loads to Germany or part loads are available for your move. Our fleet of vehicles have an extremely large capacity so it is common for multiple removals to be housed in one lorry for European home removals. Our small loads, also known as shared loads or groupage to Germany are ideal if you only have a few boxes to move or an average-sized home move. By choosing part-load shipping, your belongings will be combined with other households in a high-capacity container to save time and reduce transport costs. If you can be more flexible with your moving date, part loads are ideal. This can be a great option for those who are downsizing or retiring abroad and only need to move limited belongings overseas.
Alternatively, Pinnacle Removals also offers full-load moves to Germany. These can be ideal if you are moving to Germany permanently and would like a full house removal to Germany. Also known as FCL shipping, this is the more costly method of moving to Germany but allows for more space to transport all of your household possessions. Full loads to Germany are a more premium option for those who require a faster service on a specific date or a very large volume of belongings.
When booking your household removal to Germany, you’ll typically have the choice of land or sea transport for your belongings. Each type of removals process has a different cost and time frame which your Germany removals expert will explain to you during the quotation process. Whether you are moving from a flat or a 4-bed house, we have the capacity to transport your belongings to where they need to be. Our overseas removals use road freight as the primary mode of transport to move your belongings to Germany by land. Our professional fleet of vehicles and moving specialists can transport your household goods to Germany using high-capacity lorries. Whilst slower than some moving options, road freight to Germany is a very cost-effective option and offers both full and part load options. Our experienced team will take your belongings from A to B safely helping make moving to your new home in Germany simple.
Our European sea freight services to Germany are a good choice for those looking for a cheaper way to move to Germany and are more open in terms of delivery dates. When planning your move, you’ll be offered a choice of FCL, full container load, or LCL, less than container load. Whilst this is the slower method of freight shipping to Germany, it can be a good option for those who do not need their household belongings immediately and are looking for a way to keep costs down when moving to Germany. Whilst slightly less common, sea freight can be a cost-effective way to ship furniture to Germany. A full 20ft container is usually enough for a typical 2-bed home.
The fastest way to transport household belongings to Germany is by air freight. If you have a specific date you will need your household goods by or are looking for a fast turnaround time for your move to Germany, choose air freight to Germany. However, as this is the fastest international removals service, it is also the most costly. Due to the nature of this mode of transport, it is more commonly used for smaller moves such as those with just a few boxes. If you are looking for a cheap way to ship items internationally, road freight to Germany will be more cost-effective.
If you are thinking of shipping boxes to Germany, sending luggage or would like help with a small move to Germany with fewer belongings, contact the experts at Pinnacle Removals. We can send luggage to Germany in a cost-effective manner to save you money on overweight baggage fees and ensure your belongings get where they need to be when you need them. We can ship suitcases of any size overseas to any destination in Germany, even remote locations. Our box shipping service is ideal for those only sending a few boxes to Germany as part of a smaller move, or to send belongings to someone studying abroad. We offer a range of box shipping sizes to choose from for quick, cost-effective delivery. If you require a very quick turnaround for your small move or luggage delivery to Germany, air freight is the best option.
When preparing for your move to Germany, our professional team is here to help every step of the way. Whether you’re moving furniture as part of a full house relocation or sending just a few boxes, we can assist. To live in Germany, UK nationals typically need to apply for a visa or residence permit. It’s best to start this process before booking your household removal to allow for any potential delays or paperwork issues. If you plan to apply after arriving in Germany, you can do so at your local Foreigners’ Authority (Ausländerbehörde), as long as you apply within the 90-day entry period. Once you’ve made an enquiry with us, you’ll be assigned a Move Co-ordinator who will go through all your moving requirements and ensure you’re aware of any German customs procedures. We’ll also carry out a moving survey to prepare your personalised Germany moving quote. This can be completed via a home visit or video survey to assess your belongings and provide an accurate cost estimate for your move from the UK to Germany. If your new home has access challenges such as narrow streets or limited parking, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. Some rural areas of Germany can be difficult to reach during the winter months due to heavy snowfall, so your Move Co-ordinator may also discuss the best timing and transport options for your relocation.
Pinnacle Removals offers a range of specialist Germany moving services such as fine art transportation and antique shipping so will discuss this if relevant at the time of your survey. If you are looking for a small move to Germany, such as moving to university accommodation in cities such as Mannheim or Munich, we can also help transport your boxes and personal items. We’re always available to discuss the best options for moving your furniture or belongings to Germany but once you’ve made your decision, it’s time to book your removal to Germany. Simply fill out the provided paperwork to book your move to Germany and arrange for the relevant moving insurance. Our team can assist with creating packing lists and completing all relevant paperwork for your relocation to Germany in order to help you prepare. We’ll also liaise with our partners on the ground in Germany to provide local unloading assistance if required. Talk to your move specialist to find out more about our unpacking services as part of your move.
