Vehicle Options at a Glance
Choosing the right van size keeps costs lean and timelines tight. Think in two dimensions: volume and weight. Furniture is often bulky but not heavy. Books and appliances are dense. Our coordinators balance both so your move is efficient and safe.
Here is a quick guide to the fleet.
| Option | Approx. Volume | Max Load | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moving Basic | 5 m³ | 300 kg | Studio essentials, boxes, light furniture |
| Moving Medium | 10 m³ | 600 kg | 1 bedroom moves, compact flats |
| Moving Premium | 15 m³ | 1000 kg | 2 bedroom homes, larger items |
| Moving Premium Plus | 30 m³ | 3500 kg | Family moves, partial house |
| Moving Full House XXL | 90 m³ | 20000 kg | Whole house removals, long distance |
What typically fits
- 5 m³ – 20 to 30 boxes, small desk, 2 chairs, TV, lightweight shelving
- 10 m³ – 35 to 50 boxes, double mattress, compact wardrobe, medium appliances
- 15 m³ – 60 to 80 boxes, sofa, dining set, wardrobes, washing machine
- 30 m³ – 2 to 3 bedroom contents, multiple wardrobes, larger appliances, bikes
- 90 m³ – full house, garden items, bulky furniture, long distance consolidation
Choosing tips
- If you are unsure, start one size up to avoid extra trips
- Pair Packing Services with 10 m³ and above to maximise space usage
- Tell us about elevators, stair turns, and parking early so we allocate the right crew
- For heirlooms or designer pieces, request White Glove Delivery
Tip: When in doubt, ask our coordinator to right size your man and van so you never overpay.

A complete, reader friendly roadmap with short paragraphs and varied sentence length. Use this as your moving game plan from first thought to first night in your new Belgian home.
Timeline at a Glance
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 6–8 weeks out | Decide on dates, request an instant quote, choose van size, audit furniture, measure doorways, start decluttering, check pet and vehicle rules if relevant |
| 4 weeks out | Book Packing Services or buy materials, notify landlord or building of lift protection and loading bay, apply for temporary parking where required, start address change list |
| 2 weeks out | Finalise inventory, separate valuables and documents, photograph cabling, confirm access codes and keys, schedule utility switch off/on, plan route timing |
| 1 week out | Pack non essentials, defrost freezer, drain washer, dismantle flat pack items, label rooms by colour, prepare a do not pack essentials box |

| First week in Belgium | Register address with your commune, set up waste collection, update insurance, unpack room by room, return packing materials for recycling |
1) Get Prepared Early
Create a moving file. Photograph fragile items. Decide what stays and what goes. If you are sending high value pieces, consider white glove handling.
Checklist:
- Declutter and donate in waves: keep, sell, donate, recycle
- Choose van size and date, then lock in elevator or loading slots
- Book packing service or order materials with time to spare
- Reserve building access and parking near both addresses
- Notify utilities, internet, and insurance of your move date
- Note stair widths and tight turns for wardrobe or sofa maneuvers
2) Documents and Rules You Should Know
Moving household goods within the EU is usually straightforward. Still, paperwork matters, especially for cross border moves or if you are arriving from the UK or outside the EU.
Bring or prepare:
- Valid passports or national ID for all adults
- Tenancy agreement, purchase contract, or employer letter
- Detailed inventory list with values for high value items
- Proof of residence at destination when available

Copy block:
Keep digital copies of passports, tenancy contracts, and inventories. If customs is relevant to your route, our team prepares your inventory and guides you through every form.
3) Packing Like a Pro
Protect your memories with materials that actually work. Use double wall boxes, heavy duty tape, and plenty of cushioning.
- Color code rooms for faster unloading and label on two sides
- Wrap furniture edges and glass; use corner guards for frames
- Keep a do not pack box with chargers, medication, documents, and keys
- Photograph cable setups before disassembly and bag small hardware
- Balance box weight; heavy items at the bottom, soft items on top
- Defrost freezers 24 hours before collection and drain appliances
