We are here for you088 321 99 00Moving to France, door to door
When you move to France, one dedicated account manager guides you from the survey until after the last box at your new address. We drive to France every week, as a shared load or as a dedicated trip with a fixed loading and unloading day. During the survey we also discuss your new address: in Paris it is about the unloading spot, for a house in Provence or the Alps about the access road.
To France as a shared load or on a dedicated trip
We drive to France every week. You choose between two ways of transport; during the survey your account manager discusses which one suits your move.
Shared load
Your belongings travel on a trip towards France that carries several moves. That is the most economical way; we match the loading and unloading day to the route.
Dedicated trip
A truck for your move to France only, with a fixed loading and unloading day and no stops in between.

Transport and delivery
We drive to your new address in France and put everything in its place. Along the way we let you know where your belongings are.
From Paris to a village in Provence
In a city like Paris the unloading spot needs attention; for a house in the countryside it is the access road. During the survey we discuss your new address, so the right truck arrives at your door.
- Narrow access roads and village centres
- Unloading in the bustle of a big city
- Destinations in the Alps
- Packing that can take a long trip
Emigrating to France: what you arrange yourself
We transport your belongings; the paperwork of your emigration is yours to arrange. Start in good time, so it is ready when the moving truck arrives.
Deregister with your municipality and give your new address to the relevant authorities.
Cancel or adjust what cannot come with you to France, such as insurance policies, subscriptions and contracts.
Keep passports, insurance papers and your purchase or rental contract in one folder, outside the moving boxes.
Check whether your driving licence and health insurance remain valid.
France is part of the European Union. You therefore pay no import duties on your own household goods.
Storage for what cannot come to France yet
If you do not have the keys in France yet or are not taking everything at once, you can store the rest with us: in your own sealed container in a climate-controlled storage hall in the Netherlands. As soon as you are ready, we bring it to your new address.
