Straightforward Removals to Montpellier from the UK
Relocating to Montpellier from the UK can involve anything from moving a few essential belongings into a city apartment to transporting the contents of a complete family home. We plan each removal around the volume you’re taking, access at both properties and your preferred moving dates, providing secure door-to-door transport from the UK to Montpellier.
If your move doesn’t require an entire vehicle, our part-load and groupage service allows your belongings to travel alongside other compatible removals heading through France. Larger moves can use a dedicated vehicle, giving your household goods exclusive space and allowing the collection and delivery schedule to be planned more closely around you.
We’ll also assist with the customs formalities required when bringing household belongings into France from the UK. People transferring their normal residence may qualify for relief from French import duty and VAT on eligible used possessions, subject to the relevant conditions. We can explain what’s required and help you prepare the necessary documentation.

What Our Customers Say About Us.
Why Choose Montpellier and Its Surrounding Areas?
Montpellier combines the energy of a growing southern French city with easy access to the Mediterranean coast. Its large student population, historic centre and modern residential districts give the city a youthful atmosphere, while the surrounding Hérault region offers quieter towns, villages and countryside for those who prefer to live outside the centre.
Popular Areas
The pedestrianised Écusson is Montpellier’s historic heart, with narrow streets, traditional buildings and easy access to shops and restaurants. Port Marianne offers a more modern environment with contemporary architecture and green spaces along the River Lez, while Boutonnet and Beaux-Arts provide alternatives close to the centre. Families looking further out may also consider communities such as Castelnau-le-Lez, Lattes and Saint-Jean-de-Védas.
Restaurants and Social Life
Montpellier has a busy café and restaurant scene centred around the historic streets and squares of the city. Place de la Comédie is one of its main meeting points, while smaller squares and pedestrianised streets throughout the old centre provide plenty of places for outdoor dining. The surrounding Languedoc area is also well known for its vineyards and wine production.
Mediterranean Coast and Outdoor Life
Montpellier itself isn’t directly on the seafront, but Mediterranean beaches are only a short journey away. Palavas-les-Flots, Carnon and La Grande-Motte are popular coastal destinations, while the wider Hérault countryside provides opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring vineyards, rivers and traditional villages.
Transport and Connections
Montpellier has strong transport links for both domestic and international travel. Rail services connect the city with destinations across France and beyond, while Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport provides additional European connections. Road links also make Montpellier a convenient base for travelling along France’s Mediterranean coast.
Schools and Education
Families moving to Montpellier can choose from French state and private schools, together with bilingual and international education options in the wider area. Montpellier is also a major university city with a long academic history. Families relocating with children should check individual admission arrangements and school locations when deciding which part of Montpellier or the surrounding area will suit them best.
Our Removal Services
Our removal services include dedicated vehicles and flexible part-load groupage options, allowing us to provide the right service for anything from a few boxes to a complete household move.
Dedicated Luton Van
Ideal for: Apartments, student relocations and smaller household moves.
Our dedicated Luton vans offer approximately 18m³ of loading space with a payload of around 1,000kg, making them an ideal option for smaller household removals. Our standard service includes an experienced driver who assists with loading and unloading, with a second removal porter available where required.
As the vehicle is dedicated solely to your move, your belongings remain on the same van from collection through to delivery, with no transhipping or sharing of vehicle space with other customers.
Their smaller size makes Luton vans particularly useful for city and town moves, apartments and properties where access may be difficult for larger removal vehicles. Protective removal blankets and securing straps are used to protect and secure your belongings throughout the journey.
Dedicated 7.5 Tonne Removal Truck
Ideal for: 2–3 bedroom family homes and medium-sized household removals.
Our dedicated 7.5 tonne removal trucks provide approximately 33m³ of loading space with a payload of around 3,000kg, making them well suited to medium-sized household removals where a Luton van doesn’t provide sufficient capacity.
The vehicle is reserved solely for your removal, with your belongings remaining on the same truck from collection through to delivery. There is no transhipping or sharing of vehicle space with other customers, helping reduce unnecessary handling during the journey.
Professional loading and unloading assistance is included, with additional crew members available where required. The 7.5 tonne truck provides considerably more capacity than a Luton while still being a practical option for many residential locations where access for a larger 18 tonne vehicle may be more difficult.
Dedicated 18 Tonne Removal Truck
Ideal for: Large family homes and complete household relocations.
For larger household removals, our dedicated 18 tonne removal trucks provide approximately 55m³ of loading space with payloads of up to 9,000kg, making them particularly suitable for substantial moves involving larger quantities of furniture, appliances, boxes and personal belongings.
The truck is reserved exclusively for your removal, with your belongings remaining on the same vehicle from collection through to delivery, without being transferred or combined with other customers’ consignments.
Professional loading and unloading is included, with the appropriate removal crew arranged according to the size and requirements of your move. Access is particularly important with a vehicle of this size, so we’ll assess this in advance and can discuss alternative vehicle or shuttle arrangements where direct access isn’t possible.
Dedicated Vehicle Service
A dedicated removal vehicle provides the most direct and flexible option for moving your belongings. Depending on the size and weight of your move, we can provide a Luton van, 7.5 tonne truck or larger 18 tonne removal vehicle reserved exclusively for your relocation.
Your belongings remain on the same vehicle from collection through to delivery, with no transhipping or consolidation with other customers’ goods. This reduces unnecessary handling and gives us greater flexibility when arranging collection, transit and delivery around your requirements.
Dedicated removals can also provide faster transit times than groupage because the vehicle is travelling specifically for your move rather than coordinating several customers’ collections and deliveries along the route.
This service is particularly suitable for customers working to fixed dates, relocating for employment, moving larger households or simply wanting a direct door-to-door service with greater control over their collection and delivery schedule.
Part Load & Groupage
Our part-load and groupage removals provide a more economical alternative to a dedicated vehicle and can accommodate anything from a few boxes and individual pieces of furniture through to larger or complete household removals.
By combining several customers’ consignments travelling along similar routes, transport costs can be shared between the different moves. This can significantly reduce the cost compared with reserving an entire vehicle, particularly where collection and delivery dates are flexible.
We’ll coordinate your removal with other consignments travelling in the same direction and provide an estimated collection and delivery schedule. Your belongings are carefully protected, clearly identified and handled professionally throughout the journey.
Groupage isn’t limited to small moves. It can also be a cost-effective option for larger household removals where you don’t require a vehicle exclusively for your belongings and can offer some flexibility with your moving dates.
Tailored to Your Move
Every removal is different, which is why we tailor the service around your individual requirements rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package.
We’ll consider the volume and weight of your belongings, access at collection and delivery, your preferred dates and the level of assistance required before recommending the most appropriate vehicle and service. This could be a dedicated Luton van, 7.5 tonne or 18 tonne truck, or a more economical part-load and groupage service.
We can also arrange professional packing, export wrapping and additional loading or unloading assistance where required. Secure short- or long-term storage can be incorporated into your removal if your collection and delivery dates don’t coincide.
Whether you’re moving a few personal belongings or the contents of a complete family home, we’ll build the service around your move and provide a quotation based on your particular requirements.
Our Removals Process
-
The Key Is Establishing the Volume
The first step is establishing how much you have to move. You can send us a list of the items, photographs or a WhatsApp video, and we’ll use this to assess the volume. If you already know the approximate volume or the type of removal vehicle you require, we can quote on that basis instead.
We’ll also need to know where you’re moving from and to, along with any important access information at either property. This might include restricted parking, narrow roads, stairs, lifts or anything else that could affect the collection or delivery.
Once we understand your move, we’ll prepare a clear quotation based on the service you need and work with you to arrange suitable collection and delivery dates. Where customs procedures are required, we’ll advise you on the documents we need from you and take care of the customs work associated with your removal.
Once everything is arranged, you can leave the rest to us. Our team will take care of the collection, customs procedures where required, secure transport and delivery of your belongings, keeping you informed throughout and making the whole process as straightforward as possible.

Key Considerations When Moving Abroad
-
Documents, Dates and Planning Ahead
When moving your belongings abroad, it is important to start gathering the documents that may be required for customs clearance. Requirements vary between countries and according to your individual circumstances, but commonly requested documents can include a copy of your passport, a detailed packing list, proof of your previous residence and evidence of your new residence abroad.
As a useful starting point, we recommend having proof of residence covering the previous 12 months, details of your new address and a clear inventory of the household goods you are moving. Additional documents may be required depending on the destination and whether you are transferring your normal residence. Your move manager will advise you on the documentation required for your particular move and help you through the customs process.
It is also worth establishing your moving dates as early as possible. Think about the earliest date your belongings will be ready for collection, the latest date you need to leave your current property and the earliest date you can receive your belongings at your new home. This helps us plan the most suitable collection and delivery schedule.
If there is a gap between leaving one property and gaining access to the next, you may need storage as part of your move. Let us know when discussing your requirements and we can take this into account when planning your removal.
