How long does it take for my belongings to arrive in Austria?

Usually, the delivery from the UK to Austria takes two or three days. However, every move is different, so the duration depends on various factors. Long-distance moves will always take longer than local moves. Also, home moving (full load options) will take less time than small removals, as it does not require additional stops. Your preparation is important as well – if you pack your belongings professionally, it will take less time for our polite driver to load them. Remember that you can always count on the driver – he will help you load and unload the goods. However, if the collection or delivery takes place in the self-storage, make sure you arrange for somebody to assist our driver.

What are the living costs in Austria in comparison to the UK?

The cost of living in Austria is generally higher than that of the UK due to the country’s small size and reliance on imported goods. Housing, utilities, and transportation can be relatively expensive, while food and leisure activities are generally affordable. Debit/credit cards and cash are the most common forms of payment, and the Euro is widely accepted. As with any country, the cost of living in Austria can vary widely depending on individual circumstances and lifestyle choices. However, for those looking for a rich cultural experience and a high standard of living, Austria can be an attractive option.

Can I move to Austria with my pet?

Yes, you can take your pet with you when you move to Austria from the UK. Among the main arrangements, we can indicate making official health certificates for your pet, choosing the right airline, understanding Austria’s rules and regulations regarding transporting pets and choosing the most convenient and safe kennel.

Please bear in mind about few important things:

• 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) taking into account the regulations of the country of departure, the country of destination, and any transit airports,
