Your journey with us:
Our driver will arrive at your door with a smile on his face, and you’ll discover that not only is he an expert at what he does, he is friendly too. Being trained in heavy lifting, he will help you carry all your possessions to our state of the art van before making sure they’re all neatly secured inside. Then, it’s off to Luxembourg!We understand you’ll be concerned about your belongings. Don’t worry – we’ll contact you regularly during the journey and phone you when we’re two hours away, confirming our expected arrival time. The same friendly driver who helped to pack your belongings will be at your new home two hours later, helping you to unpack them again and carry them inside. Sounds simple? It is!
Documents you’ll need to move to Luxembourg:
Following Brexit we can no longer offer paperwork-free removals from the UK to Luxembourg. We will still help you to conform to the official requirements for residential moves between the UK and EU, and move your goods swiftly and securely to your new home. The numerous documents you’re requested to provide serve the purpose of convincing the customs authority in Luxembourg that your move is eligible for a Transfer of Residence status. After Brexit, moving your items without such status can cause regular import VAT to be charged at the rate of 17% of the item’s value.
We will only be able to collect your goods, if we receive the following documents prior to the removal:
- A copy of ID card or Passport.
- A certificate from the local council in Luxembourg to certify residency. Alternatively, suppose the EU customs agent agrees, it might be enough for you to supply a document confirming that you are an EU resident or intend to become one, for example:
- If you live with your family in the EU, please ask them to complete and sign this template and provide a copy of their personal ID and a utility bill with the address
- Or if you are employed in the EU, please provide your EU employment contract.
- Or if you have living arrangements in the EU, please provide a utility bill with your name and address on it or your tenancy agreement, or the property ownership deed.
- A detailed, signed packing list with the value, size and weight of each listed item. Please fill in all fields provided in VanOne Insurance Form.
- A UK certificate of residence or other evidence that you’ve lived in the UK at least for the last 12 months (e.g. 12 months of council tax bills or bank statements showing address).
- A self-certificate (please use this template) to inform the customs authorities that you’ve used the household objects at your usual residence in the UK for more than six months and that you won’t sell, rent or pledge them after receiving them in your new place and that you aim to remain an EU resident for at least one year.
- A signed authorization for the customs clearance agent to act as your direct representative. A blank form will be supplied to you by VanOne after you confirm your booking.
You must print and sign all the documents and have them ready for the driver in a large envelope. Please also supply completed documents electronically via the customer portal for verification.
On the day of your move we will give you a CMR form (a cargo movement form) to fill out.
If you want to speed up the process or find out more you might want to contact your local customs office in Luxembourg.
You can also visit this government resource for more information about bringing personal effects to Luxembourg (or the Dutch Government website for information in the English language).
How to prepare:
There’s a British Army catchphrase that’s just as appropriate for people moving home as it is for soldiers! “Proper planning prevents poor performance.” So to keep your belongings safe and secure, remember to place loose items in suitcases or boxes and to cover or place padding on furniture.
If you’d like to order packing materials for your move, feel free to visit out our online store, where you’ll find heavy-duty shrink wrap and protective blankets at great prices.

How to get cheap removals to Luxembourg from the UK:
When you plan to move from the UK to Luxembourg, you need an international removals service that can move your belongings safely and cheaply. Many people start their search for a cheap deal online, using Google or another search engine. However, these people could fall into the trap of booking their house removals to Luxembourg through a middleman agency, which can be less safe and more expensive.
- Middleman services and price comparison sites pass your lead onto the removals companies, but they charge commission which is usually passed onto the customer through a higher removals quote.
- Avoid the expense and get a genuinely cheap removals deal when you contact a genuine removals company like VanOne directly, or request an instant quote online.
Avoiding the middleman fees for a cheap move to Luxembourg
You can find the genuine international removals companies and avoid the fake brands with these helpful tips from VanOne. We make sure that your house removals UK to Luxembourg are carried out for an affordable low price, with no hidden fees.
- Look for the removals company on the Companies House register before signing up for their services. Companies that operate in the UK should appear on this list. Fake brands are often created by the middleman services as lead generation tools, so they will not be listed.
- Check the website of the removals company. Authentic removals companies who can complete your move to Luxembourg will usually show images of their own vehicles and staff on their site. Fake companies tend to use stock images from the Internet instead.
A safer way to complete your Luxembourg move
When you choose a middleman agency instead of a reputable removals firm, you could be putting your possessions at risk. Cheap online deals often use shipping and logistics firms to complete your house or flat removals to Luxembourg, so your goods may be loaded and unloaded several times before they reach their destination. This greatly increases the chance of something being lost or damaged. When you trust VanOne with your UK to Luxembourg move, you can be sure your possessions will travel straight to their destination.
