Our clients advise that moving their entire households and personal possessions makes sound economic and emotional sense.

However, certain electrical items may not be compatible at your destination, and our consultant will advise you on this during your pre-move survey.

You can save up to 33% on your moving costs by booking during off-peak periods (mid-month rather than month-end). Other cost-saving measures include decluttering before your move to reduce volume, packing some items yourself (non-fragile items), and comparing insurance options.

For international pet transport, you'll need to:

• Have your pets inoculated against rabies thirty days prior to departure
• Obtain a health certificate issued by your veterinarian fourteen days prior to departure

• Obtain import permits for your pets

For national moves, vehicles are transported on specialized car transportation vehicles. For international moves, we load your vehicle in a container and build a customized frame around it, providing protection while efficiently utilizing container space.

We'll advise you in advance of the current requirements for your destination country. It's essential to ensure that your motor vehicle complies with the legislated requirements and that you have permission to import it.
