FAQs

How much does it cost to move from Belgium to the UK?

In 2026, shared loads to Belgium typically run £85/m³. A dedicated 20m³ van for a one-to-two bedroom household is around £1,950. Customs and export packing are usually £150–£450 extra.

How long does the Belgium to United Kingdom transit take?

Transit is typically 1–3 working days once the vehicle leaves the origin. Add 1–5 working days for customs clearance at the UK port.

Do I need customs paperwork for Belgium?

Yes. Post-Brexit, every UK ↔ Belgium household move is a customs export. You'll need a valued inventory, ID, address proof at destination, and ideally a Transfer of Residence (ToR) application to avoid import VAT.

What's the cheapest way to move to Belgium?

Shared loads consolidated with other UK → Belgium households are the cheapest option (from around £85/m³). Book 6–8 weeks ahead and avoid the June–September peak to save 15–25%.

Do I drive on the right in Belgium?

Belgium drives on the right. Removal crews plan loading logistics accordingly — worth flagging if your origin street has narrow access.
