Service snapshot — choose speed, control, or savings
Your service model and access conditions drive both cost and timing. Use this snapshot to pick the right balance; we’ll confirm details in your video survey.
| Service level | Best for | Delivery | Cost level | Standout benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part load / Groupage | Small–medium loads, flexible dates | Window (shared route) | € | Lowest €/m³; eco‑efficient |
| Partial load (semi‑dedicated) | 10–25 m³; moderate flexibility | Smaller window | €€ | Balance of speed & savings |
| Dedicated Van (Express) | Full homes; fixed slots | Fixed dates | €€€ | Fastest, private load, full control |

Furniture removals to Hungary — packing & protection
Moving house isn’t just about boxes — it’s about arriving set up. This section reassures buyers that their furniture will be protected in transit and placed room‑by‑room on delivery.
Key protections we use (and when):
- Export wrap, thick furniture pads, corner guards; mirror/TV cartons; mattress/sofa covers.
- Dismantle/reassemble of beds/wardrobes; parts bag taped to the item.
- Floor & door protection at both addresses; stair/banister guards where needed.
- Optional specialist crates for glass/art and shock/tilt indicators for delicate pieces.
Protection levels (choose what fits your load)
| Level | What’s included | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Core protection | Blankets, export wrap, corner guards, basic dismantle/reassemble | Typical household furniture |
| Fragile room pack | Core + pro‑pack kitchen/glassware + mirror/TV cartons | Kitchens, glass displays, TVs |
| Crate & monitor upgrade | Fragile room pack + custom crate(s) + shock/tilt indicators (on request) | Art, antiques, glass cabinets, high‑value |
Mini table — what’s standard vs. add‑on

Removals to Hungary part load — when it’s the smart choice
Part load (also called groupage) shares vehicle space with other customers on the same route. That’s why the €/m³ is lowest — you’re paying only for the volume you use while we optimise routing. It’s ideal when you have flexible delivery dates or a compact shipment.
Who benefits most
- Students/solo movers with 2–10 m³ curated essentials.
- Professionals shipping a partial apartment before family follows.
- Downsizers/returnees sending selected furniture + boxes.
Pros & trade‑offs (at a glance)
- Pros: best €/m³, greener utilisation, regular routes across EU→HU.
- Trade‑offs: delivery window (not fixed to an exact hour), route dependencies, peak weeks may fill early.
Quick self‑check: is part load right for you?
Answer YES to most, and part load is likely your best value:
- Your list totals ≤10–12 m³ (we’ll confirm via video survey).
- You can accept a 2–5 day delivery window rather than a fixed slot.
- Access is straightforward (parking within 10–15 m, lift or ≤2 floors).
- Items are owner‑packed or you’re happy to add pro packing for fragile rooms.
- You’re not moving ultra‑time‑sensitive items (e.g., show equipment on a deadline).
How groupage booking works (timeline)
- Video survey (≈10 min) → volume & access confirmed, service matched.
- Route match → we align your dates with an outgoing EU→HU schedule.
- Window confirmation → you receive a pickup & delivery window.
- Load day → inventory checked, items labelled, vehicle space optimised.
- Delivery → room‑by‑room placement; optional packing removal.
Packing rules that save space (and money)
- Use stackable boxes (uniform sizes); fill to top to avoid crush.
- Flat‑pack where possible; tape hardware to furniture in a parts bag.
- Label FRAGILE and consider pro packing for kitchens/art/tech.
- Share 3–4 photos of your packed items — we’ll verify m³ and check if part load still beats partial/dedicated for your timing.
Part load vs partial vs dedicated (decision helper)
| Scenario/Need | Choose Part load if… | Consider Partial if… | Go Dedicated if… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume | ≤10–12 m³ | 12–25 m³ | 25–35+ m³ (full home) |
| Dates | Flexible window OK | Need a smaller window | Must hit fixed slot |
| Fragility | Standard household | Mixed + some fragile | High‑value/fragile focus |
| Access | Simple | Moderate | Complex + strict building rules |

Immigrating to Hungary — non‑legal move planning
This is a practical, non‑legal checklist to align your relocation with admin milestones. Always verify requirements with official sources; we focus on the move plan so you avoid storage/redo costs.
EU vs non‑EU (high‑level signals)
| Route | Typical path (verify officially) | Move‑planning impact |
|---|---|---|
| EU citizen | Right of residence; local registration after arrival | Align delivery with address registration and utility setup |
| Non‑EU | Visa/residence permit steps; proofs & appointments | Allow buffer for permit timing; consider short storage bridge |
Pre‑move admin pack (scan + originals)
- Passport/ID, birth/marriage certificates (if applicable).
- Proof of accommodation (lease, ownership, invitation) + insurance.
- Employment/assignment letter or proof of funds (as relevant).
- Pet docs (vaccinations, microchip, EU pet passport if applicable).
- School records (if moving with children).
Aligning admin with your move (so you don’t overpay for storage)
- Target delivery for the week you receive keys / can register your address.
- Use a storage bridge only if permits/keys lag behind — we’ll hold items short‑term between pickup and delivery.
- Book building slots/permits early in Budapest inner districts.
First‑week landing checklist (practical)
- Utilities/internet appointments and address registration.
- Bank/phone setup (if needed) and GP/dentist registration.
- Collect residence paperwork/IDs (as applicable).
- Inspect delivered items; report any issues promptly.

Moving to Hungary from UK — pros and cons (practical view)
Moving from the UK to Hungary now includes customs formalities introduced post‑Brexit. This section gives a planning‑only, non‑legal overview to help you choose the right service (part‑load vs. dedicated), prep documents with your broker, and set realistic timelines.
At‑a‑glance pros & cons
| Aspect | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Timing & control | Dedicated vans can hit fixed building slots | Border & broker steps may extend ETAs |
| Cost | Part‑load keeps €/m³ lowest | Broker/admin fees add overhead |
| Predictability | Fixed‑date Dedicated reduces variance | Peak weeks + busy borders can create queues |
| Paperwork | Clear inventory & values speed clearance | More forms (export/import, proofs, packing list) |
| Risk control | Pro packing lowers handling risk | Missing/late docs can cause holds |
| Flexibility | Storage bridge smooths key/permit gaps | Storage adds a small daily cost |
| Claims clarity | Labelled inventory aids tracing | Poor labelling complicates tracing |
Tip: choose the service first (cost vs. date control), then align broker appointments and building slots to that plan.
Non‑legal planning checklist (UK→HU households)
- Choose service: Part‑load (best €/m³) vs Dedicated (fixed dates).
- Video survey (≈10 min): confirm m³, access, fragile items, customs notes.
- Broker setup: agree export & import steps; book a clearance window aligned to vehicle timing.
- Documents ready (see quicklist below).
- Access/permits at both ends: book loading bays, lifts, or arrange shuttle van if required.
Example UK→HU timeline (illustrative)
- Day 0–1: Video survey → fixed proposal issued.
- Day 2–3: Broker pre‑checks inventory/values; you sign docs.
- Day 5: Pickup (pro packing if chosen) → transport departs.
- Day 6–7: Border formalities in booked window (no presence needed unless broker requests).
- Day 7–9: Delivery in HU (window for part‑load; fixed slot for dedicated).
Document quicklist (your broker may request)
- Inventory (by room) with estimated values; serials for high‑value/tech.
- Proofs: ID, move intent/tenancy/ownership details.
- Commercial/pro‑forma invoice (admin template).
- Consignee details in HU (name, address, contact).
- Any exemptions you intend to claim (broker‑advised).

Access & permits (Budapest + other cities)
Access can make or break your schedule and budget. Parking within 10–15 m of the entrance keeps load/unload fast; historic cores may require timed windows, bay reservations, or a shuttle van from a larger vehicle.
What we check during your access review
- Kerb → door distance & legal parking (street photos/signage).
- Floors & lifts (size, capacity, booking rules).
- Stair geometry & door widths (turns, spirals, narrow points).
- Building restrictions (quiet hours, concierge slots, goods‑lift).
- Street constraints (one‑way, tram lines, trees/cables).
Access impact signals (crew‑hour guide)
| Factor | Typical impact | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Parking ≤ 10–15 m | +0–0.5 h | Baseline with reserved bay |
| 11–25 m long‑carry | +0.5–1.0 h | Adds trips; consider trolley route |
| >25 m / no legal space | +1.0–2.0 h | Often triggers shuttle van |
| Each flight (no lift) | +0.3–0.6 h/crew | Width/turns matter |
| Small/slow lift | +0.5–1.0 h | Queueing, capacity limits |
Budapest specifics (illustrative)
- Inner districts: loading bay permits and time‑limited windows common.
- Pedestrian/market zones: require shuttle and ground protection.
- Coordinate with HOA/concierge early to secure slots.
Permit & booking cheat‑sheet
| Need | Why it matters | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Bay/kerb permit | Legal, close parking | Avoids fines & long‑carry time |
| Goods‑lift booking | Guaranteed lift access | Cuts waiting/idle time |
| Street management | Cones/barriers for safe loading | Keeps public interface safe |
