Types of moves to the UK

At Abit Mudanzas, we offer different types of international removals to suit your timeframe, budget, and moving volume

Exclusive Moves

This service is for large-volume moves, such as full households with extensive furniture. In this case, the truck is reserved exclusively for your belongings, allowing for direct transport with no intermediate stops or combined loads. It’s a fast and efficient solution when you need the entire vehicle for a single move.

Shared or Groupage Moves

For smaller moves, groupage allows you to share vehicle space with other clients. Each shipment is carefully separated and identified, maintaining high standards of safety and care. This option is more economical and perfect for non-urgent or partial moves.

FAQs

Can I include plants or food in my move to the UK?

No. Transporting plants, fresh food, or animal products is prohibited due to post-Brexit sanitary and safety regulations. These items may be confiscated at the border.

What kind of packing is recommended for an international move?

To ensure safety during transport, it is recommended to use double-wall boxes, padded materials, bubble wrap, protective covers, and clear labels. At Abit Mudanzas, we take care of professional packing, making sure each item is properly protected to withstand long distances.

Can I track my move during the journey?

Yes, we offer a tracking service that allows you to know the status and location of your move in real time or receive regular updates from our team. This direct communication gives you peace of mind throughout every stage of the relocation.

How long does a move from Spain to the UK take?

The estimated time depends on the type of service contracted. For exclusive moves, it can range between 2 and 4 business days. For groupage moves, the timeframe is usually longer — between 5 and 10 business days — as the vehicle makes multiple stops to pick up and deliver other shipments.

Complete Peace of Mind: Your Move is Fully Protected

All our moves include transport and liability insurance at no extra cost. We also prepare a detailed inventory to ensure precise tracking and efficient management. If something unexpected happens, our insurance covers any potential damage or loss. We work with trusted insurers so you can be sure your belongings will arrive in perfect condition.
