London vs Paris – living costs comparison

Moving to FranceRemovals from London

Cost of living

Sometimes the decision of moving to a different country is not dictated by life events such as the promotion of one of the spouses.  At times it is a matter of stagnation that propels somebody from moving to a different place – no matter where.

If you moving to France, we prepared a comparison of two metropolises that you might be interested in moving into. If you take into account London or Paris, perhaps you will find this post useful and vital.

We will compare the essential aspects of life in these two cities, such as the cost of food, housing, clothes, transportation, personal care, and entertainment.

Moving to Berlin from east of England with MyCheapRemovals

how much removals should costMoving from UK to Germany

A few months ago, our company MyCheapRemovals had the opportunity to move a client from the east of England to Berlin, Germany.

Our client did not know how to convert her belongings into storage capacity (m3). Fortunately, our customer service knew how to help immediately and suggested that the client send a list of things to be included in the move. Our customer service department, after consulting the transport office, decided that the best and most advantageous option would be to offer the customer 10 m3. To be sure, we have sent the customer the Inventory file for additional checks. It turned out that after the customer completes the form, the order is around 10m3.

Moving to Poland – places worth to be seen

Removals to Poland

What places are worth to be seen in Poland?

If you plan to move to Poland other than the growing economy and relatively low living costs, there are a number of interesting places where you can spend your free time.

Life has been quite difficult for Poland, an eastern European country that has been invaded and destroyed many times over the centuries. The country suffered mightily in World War II but the Polish spirit survived, and now Poland is one of the hottest destinations in Europe. Relatively cheap airlines and coach connections have opened up Poland’s wonders to more and more people in recent years.

Do you speak English ? And moving to Poland?

Removals to Poland


This article’s just a guide. MyCheapRemovals will help you with removal to any Eastern European country, but finding a job will be in your hands.

Jobs for English speakers in Poland

English is the most spoken language in the world, and it can be found spread far and wide. While there’s no official, single language for the planet, English is often used to communicate across nations.

This is because of a number of historical factors, most notably the patterns of colonialism by English speakers. Did you know English is by far the world’s most studied language? And that 20% of the world speaks it! This makes it for native English speakers’ job hunt much easier – if, for example, they are moving with spouses from the UK to Eastern Europe.

Many people living in the UK were looking at a move to Germany and are now wanting to know what has changed regarding removals to Germany after Brexit.

Removals to Germany after the Brexit transition period is closed. You will probably find the entire process of removal to Germany will become more complicated and costly to complete.

International removals to the UKRemoval from Germany to UK

MyCheapRemovals offers removals services across the whole of Europe.  We already provided a short price guide if you planning to move from Germany to London. Although you can receive an instant removal quote from our website, however, if you planning long ahead here you can find example prices depending on the volume.

  1. Small removals – 5 or 10 cubic meters – 176 or 356 cubic feet accordingly.
    The maximum weight of your goods shouldn’t exceed 300 and 600 kg.
    If you go for this option delivery time may be up to 3 days as your consignment will be shared with other customers. Such options are exceptionally popular with students and people who need a small studio or antique removals.

    It is difficult to disagree that a college dorm room move is the ideal example of a small move. Since the majority of college dorm rooms are usually furnished with a bed, desk, bookshelf and sometimes kitchen appliances, there is no need in shipping large furniture items. Therefore, the essential things to be brought with you are rather relatively small items such as bedding, school supplies, toiletries and clothes.Some of the sample prices are noted below:

    • Essen to Manchester  – 5m3 – £689, 10m3 – £909
    • Frankfurt to Manchester – 5m3 – £719, 10m3 – £949

    Maximum weights: 1200, 1500 and 2400.
    As this is a dedicated service you can expect your goods to be delivered within 24 hours.Usually when a family-size removal is required our customers tend to opt for bigger removals. This is especially relevant to furniture transportation. The possibility to settle the exact date and time for collection may be another advantage of the dedicated transportation. If you would like to move your household to another country this type of removal will definitely work for you.

    Moving stuff abroad can be a big task. In order to ensure all your items are secure and safely transported to the required location simply contact us. Take the stress out of your move.
    Our team is determined to offer the best possible option for every client.

How To Move To Spain With Pets – All You Need To Know

Moving to Spain


This article is only a guide – MyCheapRemovals doesn’t provide pet shipping services

Are you planning to move to Spain with pets, such as dogs and cats? Well, you need to make a lot of arrangements from choosing the right airline, and making official health certificates, to understanding the Spanish rules and regulations regarding pets, especially dogs.

Not have any ideas? Need guidance?

You have landed in the right place. This article will guide you on how to move to Spain with pets, and it definitely applies to dogs as well. We are mainly focusing on dogs as they are the most common pets that are taken along. Let’s dive deep!

How To Move To Spain With Dogs

Here are a few tips that you should consider if you intend to move to Spain with your dog.

  1. Prepare for travelling with a pet
    If you are about to travel abroad with your pet, remember it should have:

    • up-to-date vaccination records against rabies (you must wait 21 days from the date of the rabies vaccination before travelling),
    • up-to-date veterinary health certificates, (clinical examination, deworming, deticking) taking into account the regulations of the country of departure, the country of destination and any transit airports,
    • special passport (issued by a vet) with a description of the colour, race and sex of the animal together with a microchip number or tattoo,
    • microchip implant,
    • suitable container

    When travelling with your pet dog, cat or ferret, the rules you must follow depend on the country you are going to or coming from. Relatedly, understanding international, as well as Spanish transportation rules and regulations, is a crucial step. The next step includes visiting the accredited veterinarian where you can obtain a pet passport (the passport stays valid as long as you continue to meet the entry requirements) and other certificates necessary for exporting your furry friend. Moreover, your transport company may need a statement from your vet confirming that your pet is fit to travel. Please bear in mind that any carelessness in this step can result in the cancellation of your air ticket.

  2. Taking the pet on board
    Air travelling to Spain with your dog does not have to be an expensive option, but it requires some arrangements. Do your research and find out which airlines accept pets in the cabin or in the cargo hold.
    For your and other passengers’ comfort, the airlines can only take a limited number of pets in the cabin, so making a phone reservation for your pet is necessary. The airlines usually advise you to do so at the latest within 24 hours after you have booked your ticket, but at least 24 hours before departure.
    Usually, there are three travel options for animals:

      • in the cabin,
      • in the baggage hold,
      • in the baggage hold as cargo.

    Please remember that the travel option depends on the weight and size of your pet as well as the regulations of the country of destination. It is also worth mentioning, that the airlines may reserve the right to refuse carriage of the pet in case of reaching the limit of the number of pets carried on a given flight – both in the cabin and as cargo.
    Here it is worth mentioning that American Airlines allows you to bring two dogs to Spain with only $200 more as an additional cost. So it is good to check the special dog relocation offers associated with particular airlines.

  3. Choose Kennels but Crates Are Also Perfectly OK!
    Once you have selected the right airline, the next step is to create an inviting space for your dog. You should go through the requirements of the airline for the kennel size, but it is also important to spend considerable time in making the temporary home of your pet as comfortable as possible.
    The Spanish Security system also demands the wearing of a muzzle for certain breeds, such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, Dogo Argentinos, etc.
  4. Check Whether Your Pet Is Carry-on or Cargo Baggage?
    Of course, your pet cannot tell how you should take it to Spain. It is up to you to decide whether to carry it as Carry-on, or Cargo Baggage. Here you should keep in mind that if you want to take your dog as checked Baggage, it will be on a first-come and first-serve basis. It obviously works for only one or two pets.
    So, if you have a family of three to five or even more pets, you should book all your pets in Cargo.
  5. Moving To Spain By Sea
    If you are moving to Spain by sea with your dog, you will need to approve your pet at different points by showing the documents and paperwork

Wrapping Up
You may face some challenges while moving your pet from the UK, or any other country to Spain, so bring a dose of patience with you.
Never mind if things don’t go as planned. However, by focusing on the above-mentioned tips you can ensure a safe and relaxing journey.
Happy Hunting!

Removals to Paris – price guide.

If you moving to Paris from the UK, here at MyCheapRemovals you can get an instant removal quote, however, as we are always honest about prices we prepared a small price guide. It helps you with planning your budget well in advance and also we can guarantee that we won’t be beaten on price. There are three main reasons why we can offer the most competitive prices:

  1. All goods are pre-packed by a customer – it saves a lot of costs in manpower, usually calculated based on hours and total volume.
  2. Predefined volumes – small removals – which is equivalent to 5 or 10 cubic meters or large removals – 15 or 30 cubic meters. The last option is also called “dedicated service” which guarantees the fastest delivery time.
  3. No middleman – MyCheapRemovals has a fleet of more than 40 vans and lorries, so we don’t have to pay any fees or commissions.

There is actually another factor – as we frequently cross the English Channel we managed to get a very good deal with ferry operators, so we get discounted prices.

What you need to know before you move to Romania

Cheap European RemovalsMoving to Romania

Romania is known worldwide because of its historical region, Transylvania, which served as an inspiration for the setting of Bram Stoker’s critically-acclaimed novel, Dracula. But apart from its association with vampires, Romania is home to a number of majestic castles and prominent natural landscapes. People moving to Romania for employment purposes are required to obtain a working visa from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, together with a copy of a work contract from their Romanian employer.

Romania is an intriguing option for emigrants seeking work in Eastern Europe: it might not be your first choice but it is definitely worth considering, as the country is the new home to some big multinationals, has a relatively low cost of living, and a current low rate of unemployment which suggests that the economy is reasonably healthy.
