Removals from the UK to Italy
A longer drive with a beautiful finish — collected in the UK, across France, and over the border by the Alpine tunnels or the Riviera coast road.
UK motorways → Eurotunnel → France → the Alps or the Riviera
The route
Italy is a proper journey, and we plan the route to suit the destination. Collected from your UK address, the load crosses to France and then either climbs through the Alpine tunnels — Fréjus or Mont Blanc — into the Turin and Milan north, or takes the Riviera coast road via Ventimiglia into Liguria and Tuscany. From the north the autostrada network carries everything down the peninsula to Florence, Rome and beyond.
Moves to Italy split neatly between work and a change of pace. Milan draws the professional relocations; Tuscany and the lakes draw the ones chasing a farmhouse, a view and a quieter life. Either way it stays personal — the same crew from the load in the UK to the set-down in Italy, one firm responsible for the whole journey.
A move to Italy needs a customs declaration since Brexit, and we handle it plainly. Transfer-of-residence relief covers your used household goods on a genuine relocation, filed against your Italian paperwork and a detailed inventory. Your codice fiscale and comune registration anchor it and are yours to complete; our filing supports the relief so nothing sits stuck in customs.
Where we deliver
Across Italy.
Milan & Lombardy
Work and study moves. Central blocks and ZTL limited-traffic zones shape the delivery — often a permitted window or a short transfer.
Rome
The historic centre is tight and ZTL-restricted; the outer districts are more straightforward.
Florence & Tuscany
Farmhouse and villa moves across the Chianti hills — rural lanes and turning space to plan for.
The Lakes (Como, Garda)
Second-home moves; lakeside access is often steep and narrow, so a smaller vehicle may finish the job.
Turin & the north-west
The closest region to the Alpine crossings; routine access outside the old centre.
Customs, handled
No “sort it at the border.”
Italy sits outside the UK, so a move needs a customs declaration on both sides. We prepare the UK export side before the vehicle leaves and the Italian import side for arrival. Transfer-of-residence relief (trasferimento di residenza) covers used household goods on a genuine move, filed against your Italian paperwork and a signed inventory. The codice fiscale and comune residency registration are steps you complete in Italy; our filing supports the relief.
Worth thinking about
Where in the UK we’re collecting from — we plan the route from your door onward, wherever you are.
ZTL zones in Milan, Rome and Florence — a central delivery may need a permitted window or a transfer from nearby.
Your codice fiscale and comune registration — having the tax code, or a clear timeline, helps the customs side close.
