Our Alicante Removals Services

Our Alicante removals service adapts to your specific requirements. Whether downsizing, moving a full house or shipping a modest load, Gentlevan has you covered. As a dependable UK-to-Alicante removals company, we offer part-load and dedicated service options, including secure UK storage facilities and optional packing to make your move seamless.

Part-Load Removals

A shared-load, or part-load, removals service involves sharing vehicle space with other customers’ belongings. This means your home or belongings will share space with other homes relocating to the same region or in the same direction. It is the cost-effective option for moving, since you only pay for the services received and the portion of the transport vehicle used, rather than the whole vehicle. This is a suitable choice for people, households or couples with modest volume. The company's regular shared routes offer the same care and convenience as the full move, only you pay less. Therefore, if you want an affordable cost of removals from the UK to Spain, you are moving a smaller load, or you are flexible with dates, this is the right service for you.

Dedicated Removals

For those moving high-value items that require extra security, or for those working with fixed dates, a dedicated service provides complete control. Your belongings travel directly from pick-up to destination without sharing space with other consignments. This guarantees greater flexibility, faster transit and priority planning, making it suitable for extended families and anyone needing a secure, timely arrival in Alicante.

Packing and Export Wrapping

Long European journeys demand extra protection. Gentlevan offers both partial and full packing service options. Full packing covers everything from bulky furniture to everyday items, while partial packing focuses on delicate pieces or allows you to pack yourself using our supplied packing materials. For items such as mattresses, sofas, TVs, or fragile belongings, we use protective covers, export-grade wrapping, and sturdy boxes or crates, as needed. Choose this option for maximum protection of your valuables on the journey to your new home in Alicante.

Storage Facilities in the UK

Moves sometimes are not straightforward: You may opt to stage your move gradually, you may experience renovation delays, or there might be a gap between selling and buying.

Therefore, you can manage even a complex relocation without pressure, using the spare time to plan while your items await transport to Alicante. Gentlevan storage is suitable for anyone with a staged move, timing gaps, ongoing renovations and/or any inconvenience.

Why Move to Alicante?

With its warm Mediterranean climate, Alicante enjoys around 320 days of sunshine annually, perfect for those seeking sea, sun and a relaxed lifestyle. The cost of living in Alicante is notably lower than in major UK cities, stretching your budget further. Well-connected transport links, including excellent bus and rail services plus Alicante Airport, provide easy connections within and beyond the region.

The combination of a welcoming expat community, affordability, beautiful beaches and excellent transport makes this bustling city an attractive destination for UK expats, particularly holiday home owners, families and retirees. Alicante offers a range of outdoor activities, from water sports along the Costa Blanca coastline to exploring historic neighbourhoods. If you are still weighing things up, our guide on the pros and cons of living in Alicante breaks down whether the Costa Blanca trip is worth it.

Costs & How to Save Money

The cost varies depending on property access at both ends, the volume of items, the time of year, and whether you opt for dedicated or part-load transport. Additionally, the cost of move to any European country will differ since every move takes different routes, scheduling and space.

So, how can you save money when planning your relocation?

Align with regular routes by staying flexible with dates.
Reduce volume by decluttering before the survey.
Opt part-load transport when necessary.

Customs, Paperwork and Insurance for Moving to Alicante

Since Brexit, a move to Spain from the UK requires certain customs clearance papers. Therefore, for European removals, specifically Alicante removals, the essential paperwork to include is a detailed, signed inventory list of your belongings, a passport copy, and a rental contract (proof of Spanish residence). This is where Gentlevan comes in. They will help you through every step, from transit declaration to document preparation, so that you won’t be alone. On the other hand, if your items are owned and used for more than six months and shipped within a year of relocation, you can benefit from duty-free entry. It is recommended to have transit insurance to protect high-value or fragile goods, offering peace of mind during international transport.
