How Much Does It Cost to Move to Portugal?

One of the first questions people ask when planning a move to Portugal is "how much will it cost?" Here's an honest breakdown of what to expect.

What Affects the Cost?

Volume: The biggest factor. Measured in cubic metres (m³)
Collection location: Distance from our UK depot affects price
Delivery location: Algarve is our base; other areas may cost more
Access: Stairs, narrow streets, or long carries add time
Services: Packing, storage, and assembly are extras

Full Load vs Part Load

Full Load: You have the entire truck to yourself. Best for larger moves (30m³+). Faster transit, you choose the dates.

Part Load (Groupage): Your items share space with other customers. More economical for smaller moves. We consolidate shipments on our weekly runs.

Ways to Reduce Costs

Declutter ruthlessly: Less volume = lower cost
Pack yourself: We can supply materials, you do the work
Be flexible on dates: Part loads run weekly
Sell large items: Sometimes cheaper to replace in Portugal
