Removals to Monaco

How much do removals to Monaco cost?

Every Monaco move is priced on volume, access at both ends, how much packing you want and when you need it there. As a guide, a part load of boxes and a few items of furniture is usually £1,100 to £1,900, a two bedroom home is £3,500 to £4,900 and a three bedroom home is £4,600 to £6,400. Larger houses, pianos, vehicles and fine art are quoted individually.

We do not quote by the hour and we do not add fuel or waiting charges on the day. After a free survey by video call or in person you get one written figure covering collection, materials, transport to Monaco, customs work, delivery and placement and goods in transit cover. If your dates move, we move with you.

Sharing a vehicle is the cheapest way to send a smaller load, because you pay only for the space you use. The trade off is timing: a part load runs to a consolidation schedule and takes 7 to 14 days, while a dedicated vehicle leaves when you want it and arrives in 2 to 4 days.

The route: UK to Monaco

Eurotunnel or Calais, the A6 and A7 down the Rhone valley to Aix then the A8 along the coast through Nice into the Principality.

Distance from our base to Monaco is around 780 miles. Fine art, wine and instruments are crated individually and listed with values and we can arrange all risks cover at an agreed value rather than a standard limit.

Drivers are on tachograph hours and we plan legal rest into the schedule rather than pushing a single driver too far which is one of the reasons our delivery dates hold. You get the vehicle's progress by phone or message so you know the day before it arrives.

Customs clearance for Monaco

Monaco is in customs union with France so goods travel as a French movement with no duty for EU origin household effects. Residency paperwork is the sensitive part and delivery access is controlled by the Principality.

Whatever the destination, we build a full inventory at packing. It is the document that supports your insurance claim if anything is damaged, and it is the basis of the customs entry so it has to be accurate and honestly valued.

Residency requires a carte de sejour application with proof of accommodation and means and the process is usually underway before the move date.

Delivery and access in Monaco

Monaco is the tightest delivery environment in Europe. Buildings are towers with booked service lifts, underground car parks with strict height limits and delivery windows enforced by building management and police. We survey the lift dimensions, the ramp height and the loading bay before quoting and often shuttle from a Fontvieille or Beausoleil holding point with a low van.

We survey the destination as carefully as the collection address. Lift dimensions, doorway widths, stair turns, height barriers and parking restrictions all change the crew size and the vehicle and finding out on the day is what turns a smooth move into an expensive one.

Delivery does not stop at the front door. Furniture is placed in the room you want, beds and wardrobes are rebuilt and boxes are stacked where you can work through them. Full unpacking with the packing debris taken away is available if you would rather start straight from an empty floor.

Packing, part loads and storage

A long European journey is harder on furniture than a local move so everything is packed to export standard: double walled cartons, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, bubble and tissue for glass and china, corner protection on case goods and export wrap over upholstery and mattresses. Televisions, mirrors and artwork travel in purpose made cases.

We collect anywhere in the UK for Monaco so a load can combine your current home with items held elsewhere, such as a family member's garage or a storage unit. Cars, motorcycles and bicycles can travel with the household on the same vehicle where space allows.

Dates rarely line up perfectly across borders. Secure containerised storage in the UK bridges the gap: your goods are inventoried, sealed into containers and held until your Monaco property is ready then delivered without being handled again in between.
