Why customers choose Movaqo for their long-distance move
Planned around your journey
Your move is considered from collection through to destination, so the longer journey is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Suitable removal companies
Movaqo works with removal companies suited to the requirements of your move, with key insurance checks completed before they take on customer moves.
Support from start to finish
You have a clear point of contact while your move is being organised, so you're not left wondering what happens next.
Planning ahead for a longer move
Longer-distance moves benefit from a little more preparation, simply because the journey between the two properties becomes a bigger part of the day.
When you’re moving to another town or city, it helps to confirm both addresses early, settle on a realistic moving date, and think about access at each end, including parking, stairs, lifts and how far things need to be carried. It’s also useful to know roughly how much is coming with you and whether any larger pieces of furniture may need dismantling to travel safely.
Because the drive itself takes longer, it’s worth allowing for that travel time when you plan the rest of your day, and making sure keys and property access are coordinated before everything arrives.
It also helps to keep the things you’ll want first with you rather than packed away. An essentials bag or box with important documents, medication, chargers, keys, valuables, toiletries, a change of clothes and the basics for your first night makes arriving much easier.
When getting your quote, tell us where you’re moving from and to, your moving date, access at both properties and what you’re taking with you. Having these details from the start helps everything come together more smoothly.

Long-Distance Removals FAQs
How much does a long-distance removal cost?
The cost varies depending on the distance travelled, how much is being moved, access at both properties and any additional help you need. Tell us about your move and we'll put together a personalised quote based on your requirements.
How far in advance should I arrange a long-distance move?
The earlier you arrange it, the more flexibility you'll usually have around your preferred dates, which matters most when the journey is longer. If your date is closer, it's still worth asking so you know where you stand.
Can I move from one city to another?
Yes. Moves between different towns and cities can be organised around your collection address, your destination and your requirements.
Can furniture be dismantled and reassembled?
Tell us if you need help with dismantling or reassembly when you get your quote, so it can be included in your requirements when your move is arranged.
What should I keep with me during a long-distance move?
Keep important documents, medication, chargers, keys, valuables, toiletries, a change of clothes and the basics for your first night with you rather than packed deep in boxes. A small essentials bag or box makes settling in much easier when you arrive.
