Full load vs shared transport
The model you choose shapes the cost and the clock.
Full load gives you the vehicle end to end. It is direct and fast. Perfect for family homes, art collections or time critical office moves.
shared transport shares vehicle space with compatible consignments heading the same way. It lowers cost, trims carbon and suits flexible schedules. It is ideal for students, second homes, or compact city apartments.
| Option | Best for | Pros | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full load | Family homes, tight timelines, lots of fragile pieces | Direct route and fastest delivery, exclusive use | Higher price than shared transport |
| shared transport | Smaller consignments, budget careful plans, greener choices | Lower cost, eco friendly, flexible windows | Delivery day depends on consolidation plan |
Tip: Add both options to your quote and compare delivery windows before you confirm.
Furniture removals to Andorra
Your furniture is the backbone of home life. It deserves protection from the first wrap to the final placement.
How we shield every piece
- Pre wrap, quilted covers and edge guards for delicate surfaces.
- Disassembly and reassembly for beds, wardrobes and tables.
- Custom crates and export wrap for art, glass and marble.
- Floor, door and stair protection at both ends.
- Hoist options for tight stairwells or upper floor drops when access is narrow.
- White Glove two person placement with exact positioning for statement items.

Vehicle sizes and what they fit
Right sizing the truck protects budgets and belongings. We confirm volume during a video survey and check access at both addresses.
| VANonsite Vehicle | Capacity (m³) | Max Load (kg) | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moving Basic | 5 | 300 | Studio essentials and boxes |
| Moving Medium | 10 | 600 | One bed flats and compact furniture |
| Moving Premium | 15 | 1000 | Two bed homes and heavier items |
| Moving Premium Plus | 30 | 3500 | Three bed family homes and mixed loads |
| Moving Full House XXL | 90 | 20000 | Full household moves and office relocations |
Rule of thumb
- Compact one bed homes often fit into 8 to 12 m³.
- Typical three bed homes range from 25 to 35 m³ depending on furniture density and outdoor gear.

Routes to Andorra and seasonal advice
Two gateways lead to the valleys: Pas de la Casa on the French side and La Farga de Moles on the Spanish side. Your coordinator will suggest the smoother corridor after checking weather, gradients and town access.
Popular corridors
- UK to Dover to Calais to Toulouse to Andorra via the French border.
- UK to Portsmouth to Bilbao or Santander to Lleida to Andorra via the Spanish border.
Choosing wisely
- Winter often favours the Spanish approach for steadier mountain conditions.
- In fair weather, the French corridor can be shorter from channel ports.
- For fragile or tall freight, fewer transfers and gentler gradients matter more than mileage.
- Chains can be required during cold snaps. Tell us about steep streets or access restrictions so we can right size the vehicle and plan parking.
Documents and customs
Andorra sits outside the EU and outside Schengen. You will enter through France or Spain, then clear Andorra Customs at the border. For personal effects, prepare the following.
- Valid passport(s).
- Detailed inventory marked used vs new items.
- Purchase invoices for new goods.
- Proof of residence or a lease or work contract in Andorra.
- Transport documents provided by VANonsite.
- Vehicle export steps where relevant: UK DVLA guidance https://www.gov.uk/taking-vehicles-out-of-uk.

Good to know

- Border officers may open boxes for inspection. Label clearly and keep the inventory consistent with what is inside.
