General frequently asked questions

Moving internationally can be complex, but with VanOne EU, we make your European removal simple, secure, and affordable. Our FAQ section is here to provide you with quick and clear answers to all your questions about our streamlined services, from instant quotes and booking to understanding the logistics of your move across Europe.

Q . Does VanOne EU offer flexible volume options for quotes?
A .

VanOne EU offers quotes for standard volumes: 5, 10, 15, and 30 cubic metres. For moves larger than 30 cubic metres, please contact our customer services team directly for a tailored quote.

Q . How do I get a quote and book a removal with VanOne EU?
A .

Requesting a quote for your European removal is simple. Visit our website and fill out the online request form. You will immediately receive an email with three quote options. To book, simply click on the desired option in the email, and the website will guide you through the secure booking process.

Q . Can I pay a deposit to secure my booking instead of the full amount upfront?
A .

Yes, you can. After completing the online booking, you will be asked to pay a booking deposit, typically about 25% of the total service price. The remaining balance is due via card payment online no later than the day of collection.

Q . What payment methods does VanOne EU accept?
A .

You can pay for your removal and any ordered packaging materials in advance on our website using all major credit and debit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Amex, Maestro, and JCB.

Q . How secure is the VanOne EU online payment system?
A .

Our online payment system is secured and managed by Stripe, one of the world’s most trusted and secure global payment services.

Q . What types of goods are restricted or prohibited from being moved within the EU and to/from Switzerland/Norway?
A .

We specialise in residential removals (household appliances, furniture, personal effects). Due to customs and transport regulations, you cannot transport: perishable food, live plants or animals/pets, money, securities, jewellery, potentially dangerous or explosive items, furs, tobacco products, or alcoholic beverages.

Q . Is VAT included in the quote price?
A .

Yes, all quotes include VAT. As VanOne EU primarily handles intra-community removals and services to non-EU destinations (Switzerland/Norway), the rate applied follows the relevant EU or destination country tax laws. For most standard EU-to-EU removals, a 0% VAT rate applies under certain conditions.

Q . What services are typically included in a VanOne EU removal quote?
A .

The standard service includes: Goods in Transit Insurance (up to approximately €25,000), Transportation from point A to point B, liaising with customs where necessary, EU-based call centre support, European motorway and toll fees, Ferry fees, VAT, and Fuel.

Q . Is there an additional charge for the driver’s help with loading and unloading?
A .

Yes, driver assistance is an optional, chargeable service. We charge €14 per half hour of the driver’s work. If you request help, you will receive an email after unloading with the precise time calculation and a link for payment.

Q . How can VanOne EU offer such competitive prices?
A .

We focus on efficiency by offering space in a shared or dedicated van and an assisting driver. We operate an extensive network across the European continent, which allows our vehicles to minimise empty travel and significantly reduce operational costs.

Q . Are my goods insured during transit with VanOne EU?
A .

Yes. Your goods are protected with Goods in Transit insurance, providing coverage of up to approximately €25,000 per van (calculated based on the current exchange rate from our standard policy). This covers major losses during transportation, such as incidents involving a car crash or a ferry boat.

Q . How do I activate the FREE Goods in Transit Insurance?
A .

Upon booking, we will email you an Insurance Form (MS Excel format). You must accurately fill in this form, listing all items being moved and their values, and return it to us via email. This list is essential for the insurer to determine the value of any loss if a claim is needed.

Q . Who is responsible for packing and preparing items for the removal?
A .

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure all goods are properly packed, secured, and ready for removal before the driver arrives. We strongly recommend using high-quality packaging materials to minimise the risk of damage.

Q . What assistance can I expect from the driver during collection and delivery?
A .

Our drivers can assist you with: 1) Loading and unloading heavy furniture and boxes. 2) Optimising the available loading space in the van. 3) Ensuring all items are safely secured. 4) Assisting with basic documentation, such as the CMR form.

Q . What if my items exceed the allocated weight or volume limit?
A .

Your driver can only take as much as was agreed upon prior to the removal date. If the driver suspects the vehicle is overloaded based on suspension limits, you may be requested to stop loading. If an excess load is later confirmed when weighing the van, you will be charged for a second vehicle to transfer the surplus items.

Q . Can I choose a specific date and time for collection?
A .

If you book a full van (15m³ or 30m³), you have complete control over the collection day and time. For smaller, more cost-effective bookings (5m³ or 10m³), you must be flexible. You will select the latest possible collection day, and we reserve the right to collect on that day or up to two days prior.

Q . How will I be notified of the delivery date and time?
A .

When you book, we will provide you with the estimated transit time and the delivery date. Furthermore, the driver will call you at least two hours before the van’s arrival at your new European address to confirm the exact delivery time.

Q . Who is responsible for arranging parking for the removal van?
A .

The customer is responsible for arranging legal and suitable parking for the van at both the collection and delivery locations. To conduct the removal efficiently, the van must be parked in close proximity, ideally no more than 20 metres (66 feet) from the door of the building.

Q . What paperwork do I need to prepare for my move?
A .

Essential documents for all removals include: 1) The Insurance Form (to list your items and values), 2) A CMR form (Proof of carriage/delivery), and 3) A copy of your Passport/ID. More precise requirements for specific destination countries (especially Switzerland/Norway) can be found on our destination pages.

Q . Can VanOne EU assist non-EU/non-Swiss/non-Norwegian citizens with their move?
A .

Yes, we are happy to assist all customers. However, if you are not an EU, Swiss, or Norwegian citizen, we strongly advise you to contact the consulates of your destination country beforehand to understand their specific customs, immigration, and residency requirements before booking our service.
