Straightforward Removals to Turin from the UK
Moving your belongings from the UK to Turin requires careful planning, particularly when coordinating transport and customs across Europe. Our experienced removal teams handle your possessions carefully from collection through to delivery, using secure transportation and appropriate protective equipment throughout the journey.
We provide part-load and groupage removals to Turin for smaller moves and customers with flexible dates, alongside dedicated removal services when you need a vehicle specifically for your belongings. Every quotation considers the volume and weight of your goods, access at collection and delivery, and your preferred moving dates.
A complete professional packing service is also available if you would prefer our team to pack and protect your furniture, household goods and personal belongings before collection.
As the UK is outside the EU, household goods moving to Italy require customs clearance. Used household effects are generally straightforward to clear when the correct documentation is in place, while new goods may require additional customs procedures. We can guide you through the paperwork and work with our Italian customs partner where attendance is required.

What Our Customers Say About Us.
Why Choose Turin and Its Surrounding Areas?
Why Choose Turin and Its Surrounding Areas?
Turin offers a combination of elegant city living, strong employment opportunities and easy access to the mountains and wider Piedmont region. Once best known internationally for its automotive industry, the city now has a broader economy spanning engineering, technology, aerospace, finance and education. For people relocating from the UK, Turin can also offer a more manageable pace of life than Milan or Rome while retaining the facilities of a major Italian city.
Popular Areas
Crocetta is one of Turin’s established residential districts and is popular with professionals and families, with attractive streets and good access to the centre. Centro puts residents close to the city’s historic heart, although apartments, parking and vehicle access can be more challenging.
San Salvario has a lively restaurant and social scene close to Parco del Valentino, while Cit Turin is well connected and convenient for Porta Susa station. Families looking for greener or quieter surroundings may consider Borgo Po and the hillside areas east of the River Po, as well as communities outside the city itself.
Schools and Education
Turin provides Italian state and private education alongside international and bilingual options for families arriving from overseas. The city also has a substantial university population, with the University of Turin and Politecnico di Torino attracting students and academics from around the world.
Families moving from the UK should consider both the school and the daily journey when choosing where to live, particularly if looking at properties outside central Turin.
Healthcare
Turin has a comprehensive network of public hospitals, specialist centres and private healthcare facilities. Residents who meet the relevant requirements can register with Italy’s Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN).
Major facilities include the Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino hospital complex. Private healthcare is also widely available, including access to English-speaking medical professionals.
Employment and Business
Turin has a long association with automotive manufacturing and engineering, with Fiat playing a major role in the city’s industrial history. Today, automotive and advanced manufacturing remain important alongside aerospace, technology, research and financial services.
The city is also less expensive than some of Italy’s other major economic centres, which can make it attractive to professionals and families relocating for work.
Getting Around Turin
Turin has a Metro, tram and bus network, while the relatively organised street layout makes many parts of the city straightforward to navigate. Porta Susa and Porta Nuova provide major rail connections, including high-speed services towards Milan and other Italian cities.
Central areas can still present removal challenges, particularly with apartment buildings, limited parking and controlled traffic zones. We therefore consider vehicle access before arranging delivery.
Restaurants and Lifestyle
Piedmont is one of Italy’s major food and wine regions, and Turin has a strong restaurant, café and market culture. The city is particularly associated with chocolate, coffee and aperitivo, while the surrounding region is famous for wines including Barolo and Barbaresco.
Turin also offers extensive green space, including Parco del Valentino, while its position close to the Alps makes skiing, hiking and mountain trips particularly accessible.
The Alps and Surrounding Piedmont
One of Turin’s biggest attractions is its location. The Piedmont countryside and Alps are within easy reach, while towns and communities surrounding the city provide alternatives for people wanting more space away from the centre.
Mountain and hillside properties can require additional planning for a removal. Narrow roads, steep gradients, low clearances and limited turning space can affect which vehicle we use for the final delivery, so access information is particularly important for properties outside Turin.
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.

From collection through to delivery, we’ll take care of the details and make your move as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Removals to Turin FAQs
How often do you run part-load removals to Turin?
We provide regular part-load and groupage services between the UK and Italy. Turin’s position in northern Italy means it is normally reached relatively early as we make deliveries in the north before working our way further south.
On the return journey, we make UK-bound collections as we work our way back north.
How long does a dedicated van from the UK to Turin take?
A dedicated van to Turin normally takes around 2–3 days from collection in the UK. The vehicle is allocated specifically to your move, so there are none of the additional customer deliveries associated with a groupage service.
Exact timings can still depend on customs clearance, drivers’ hours, traffic and property access.
Does Turin’s location in northern Italy help with part-load delivery times?
Yes. Turin is one of our more northerly Italian destinations. We generally deliver in northern Italy first and then work our way south, so customers moving to Turin will often receive their belongings before loads travelling to central or southern Italy on the same trip.
The exact order varies according to the loads and route on each journey.
Can you deliver into Turin’s ZTL?
Yes, but we need to check the address and access arrangements beforehand. Turin operates a central ZTL with controlled vehicle access, as well as additional restrictions within parts of the centre.
For properties within restricted areas, we plan the delivery around the applicable access rules and loading arrangements. Where the main vehicle cannot reasonably reach the property, a smaller shuttle vehicle may be required.
If I book a dedicated van to Turin, does weight matter?
Yes. Our dedicated vans can carry approximately 1,000 kg, so the weight of your belongings matters just as much as their volume.
Loads containing large quantities of books, tools, gym equipment, records or other dense items can reach the vehicle’s weight limit before the load space is completely full. We consider both weight and volume when planning your move.
Where do you clear customs before delivering to Turin?
For Italian moves where customs attendance is required, we work with a customs partner in Varese in northern Italy, which is well positioned for our routes before we make deliveries across northern Italy.
Used household and personal effects are generally straightforward to clear when the correct documentation is prepared. New goods may require additional customs procedures, so please tell us if your shipment contains new or recently purchased items.
What do you need to know if I’m moving into a Turin apartment?
We need the floor level, lift availability and size, staircase access, parking arrangements and distance between the vehicle and building entrance.
This is particularly important with larger furniture. A building may have a lift, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a sofa, mattress or wardrobe will fit inside it.
Can you deliver to hillside properties outside central Turin?
Yes, but we need good access information beforehand. Turin’s eastern side rises into the Torinese hills, where steep approaches, narrow roads and limited turning space can affect larger removal vehicles. The city itself has specific provisions for heavy-vehicle access in the hill area.
Photographs or a short video of a difficult approach can be extremely useful. If necessary, we can plan to transfer the load into a smaller vehicle for the final delivery.
Is part-load or dedicated better for a small move to Turin?
For a smaller move where your dates are flexible, part-load will usually be the more economical option because you only pay for the vehicle space your belongings require.
If you need your belongings collected or delivered on specific dates, a dedicated vehicle provides much greater control over the schedule and normally reaches Turin in around 2–3 days from the UK.
Can you collect in Turin for a removal back to the UK?
Yes. We provide Turin-to-UK removals as well as UK-to-Turin services. Our groupage vehicles generally make their Italian deliveries while travelling south and then collect UK-bound consignments as they work their way back north.
Turin’s northern location therefore fits particularly well with our return routing. A dedicated vehicle can also be arranged if you require a specific collection date.
