Why Choose Frankfurt and Its Surrounding Areas?

Frankfurt is one of Germany’s most international cities and a popular destination for people relocating from the UK. Although best known as a major financial and business centre, Frankfurt is also highly liveable, combining compact neighbourhoods, parks, riverside areas and excellent transport connections. Its position in central Germany also makes travelling to other parts of the country and neighbouring European countries straightforward.

Popular Areas to Live

Frankfurt has neighbourhoods suited to a wide range of lifestyles. Westend is one of the city’s most desirable residential districts, with attractive period properties and easy access to the centre. Sachsenhausen, south of the River Main, combines residential streets with restaurants, traditional taverns and a lively social scene.

Nordend, Bornheim and Bockenheim are also popular with families and professionals. Those wanting a larger property or quieter surroundings often look beyond the city boundary to places such as Bad Homburg, Oberursel and Königstein, which remain within commuting distance of Frankfurt.

Schools and Education

Families moving to Frankfurt have access to German state schools alongside a number of international and bilingual options. The wider Frankfurt and Rhine-Main area has established international schools offering English-language education and programmes such as the International Baccalaureate.

This can make Frankfurt particularly attractive to families relocating from the UK who would prefer their children to continue their education in English or within an international school system.

Working and International Community

Frankfurt is home to major banks, financial institutions, professional services companies and multinational businesses. The presence of the European Central Bank contributes to the city’s international character, and English is widely used in many multinational workplaces.

The large international community can also make settling into the city easier for newcomers from the UK.

Healthcare

Frankfurt has an extensive healthcare network, with hospitals, specialist clinics, doctors and pharmacies located throughout the city. University Hospital Frankfurt is one of the region’s major medical centres and provides a broad range of specialist services.

Anyone establishing residence in Germany will need to consider the country’s health insurance requirements and arrange suitable healthcare cover.

Restaurants and Social Life

Frankfurt offers much more socially than its financial-centre reputation might suggest. Sachsenhausen is particularly well known for its traditional Apfelwein taverns, while the city has a wide selection of German and international restaurants, cafés and bars.

The Main riverfront is popular for walking and cycling, while the Museumsufer area brings together several of Frankfurt’s major museums and cultural attractions.

Transport and Getting Around

Frankfurt has excellent public transport, including U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus services. Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof provides extensive rail connections across Germany and Europe, while Frankfurt Airport offers particularly convenient connections with the UK.

Moving into Frankfurt

Access can vary considerably between properties. Central apartments may have restricted parking, shared entrances, upper floors or limited loading space, while houses in the surrounding towns are often easier to reach with larger removal vehicles.

Providing details of the property, floor level, lift availability, parking and loading access beforehand allows us to plan the most suitable vehicle and delivery arrangements for your removals to Frankfurt.

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.

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.

Removals to Frankfurt FAQs

Do I need to reserve a loading space for a removal in Frankfurt?

If there is no suitable private loading area outside the property, you may need a temporary no-stopping zone for the removal vehicle. Frankfurt advises applying to the road traffic authority at least two weeks before the move, and the authorised signs must be in position three full calendar days beforehand.

Is it difficult to get a removal vehicle into central Frankfurt?

It can be. Central apartment buildings, busy streets, resident parking and limited space immediately outside a property can make access more complicated. We ask for the exact access details beforehand so we can plan the most appropriate vehicle and crew.

Are removals easier in Frankfurt’s outer residential areas?

Often they are, particularly where properties have driveways or easier roadside access. However, access can vary considerably even outside the centre, so parking, walking distance, stairs and entrances should still be confirmed before collection or delivery.

Can you deliver to a Frankfurt apartment with no lift?

Yes. We need to know the floor level, staircase access and whether a lift is available when preparing the move. This is particularly important with large furniture because a long stair carry may require additional time or manpower.

What route do you normally take from the UK to Frankfurt?

The precise route depends on the UK collection point and Channel crossing. After entering mainland Europe, Frankfurt can be approached through Belgium and western Germany, with the final route planned around traffic, vehicle restrictions and statutory driving hours.

How far is Frankfurt from Calais by road?

Frankfurt is roughly 360 miles from Calais by road, depending on the route taken. Its central-western position makes it considerably more accessible from the Channel than destinations in southern or eastern Germany.

How quickly can a dedicated removal reach Frankfurt?

A dedicated vehicle travels specifically for your move rather than waiting for other consignments to be collected or delivered. The actual schedule depends on the UK collection point, Channel crossing, customs clearance, traffic and statutory driver hours, and we confirm the expected delivery arrangements when planning your move.

Do you deliver to towns outside Frankfurt?

Yes. We cover the wider Frankfurt and Rhine-Main region, including moves to residential areas and surrounding towns. If your destination is outside Frankfurt itself, provide the postcode so we can calculate the route and any additional mileage accurately.

What customs documents will I need when moving from the UK to Frankfurt?

Household belongings moving from Great Britain into Germany require customs clearance. People transferring their normal residence may qualify for relief on eligible personal belongings, subject to conditions including residence and previous use of the goods. German Customs states that qualifying household goods can be imported in separate consignments within the applicable period.

Is part-load or dedicated transport better for a move to Frankfurt?

For smaller moves with flexible dates, part-load transport is normally the more economical choice because vehicle space is shared. A dedicated vehicle is usually better for larger household moves, fixed dates or when you want the vehicle travelling specifically for your consignment.
