Moving to Spain

When you move to Spain you will of course want to move your items. This can be organized most easily with road transport, in which there are two possibilities, namely: direct transport and groupage.

The costs of moving to Spain

Direct transport actually means that a truck leaves for Spain immediately after packing and loading. However, this is more expensive because you cannot share the costs with others, unlike groupage transport. With Groupage, the truck only starts driving when there are enough shipments to load the truck full.

How long will it take for my belongings to travel to Spain?

For direct transport you should assume an average moving time of 7 days. For groupage transport this is on average between 2 and 3 weeks and is strongly dependent on the season. In the high season (the summer months) the truck is filled faster and can therefore leave earlier. Conversely, it is somewhat slower in the first months of the year.
