Vorarlberg in the far west is roughly 1,040 km from London and Graz in the south east about 1,600 km. After volume, road distance is the biggest single factor, and it varies more across the country than people expect.
Serving international removals, relocation and shipping between the UK and Austria. Most UK to Austria household moves land between £850 and £5,400. A 5 cubic metre shared load runs about £850 to £1,400, a two bedroom part load £2,000 to £3,100, and a three bedroom dedicated vehicle £3,500 to £5,400.
We match you with one vetted moving company for your route, free. We are not a removal company and we are not a quote comparison service, so you get one mover, not ten sales calls.
Austria is priced by cubic metres and road distance, not by container size, because the whole journey is by road. That makes the arithmetic simpler than a long haul move and it means decluttering before you measure up has a direct, visible effect on what you pay.
The figures on this page are planning ranges compiled in August 2026 from published rates at MuveOne, VanOne, MyCheapRemovals and Dimond Movers, across ten UK departure points. They are here so you can sanity check any quote you are given, not as an offer. The matched mover confirms the real price after checking your route, access and inventory.
One honest caveat. Movers who hold FIDI FAIM certification and do full export packing price above the budget van operators these benchmarks include, typically by thirty to fifty per cent. That difference buys insurance that pays out, a crew that knows how to get a wardrobe down a Viennese stairwell, and a customs entry lodged correctly the first time.
Send your collection town, the delivery address, move date and rough volume. One vetted moving company checks the route and comes back with a real figure.
Send your move detailsVolume is the main driver. A rough guide: a studio flat is around 5 cubic metres, a one bedroom 10, a two bedroom 15 and a three bedroom 30. Most people overestimate, which is why a survey usually brings the quote down rather than up.
Below 5 cubic metres a shared load is almost always right. Above 30 a dedicated vehicle usually wins on both price and handling, because the goods are loaded once and unloaded once rather than transferred at a depot.
After volume, road distance from the UK is the biggest single factor, and it varies more across Austria than people expect. Vorarlberg in the far west is roughly 550 kilometres closer to London than Graz in the south east, and that shows up as several hundred pounds on a large move.
Resort addresses break the pattern. Kitzbuehel and Zell am See are closer to the UK than Vienna but price above it, because the final leg is charged on access rather than mileage: a transfer to a smaller vehicle, a steep approach road and a season when parking disappears.
Flexibility is worth more than negotiation. A shared load with a collection week rather than a collection day is materially cheaper than a dedicated vehicle on a named date, and on smaller volumes it is the single biggest saving available.
The rest is detail, but it adds up. Ship less. Pack your own boxes for books and clothes, leaving the fragile items to the crew. Avoid the June to September peak and the last week of a month. And measure your access honestly at both ends, because a surprise on delivery day is always more expensive than a note on the quote.
One enquiry, one vetted moving company, no obligation to book. Send your collection postcode, the delivery address, your date and a rough inventory.
The euro is the currency, so moving money is part of moving home. We have helped customers with currency exchange in any currency for many years, through trusted partners, and it is included in what we do. Mention it on the quote form and we will make the introduction.
Most household moves land between 850 and 5,400 pounds. A 5 cubic metre shared load runs about 850 to 1,400 pounds, a 15 cubic metre part load about 2,000 to 3,100 pounds, and a 30 cubic metre dedicated vehicle about 3,500 to 5,400 pounds. A four bedroom house with full packing can reach 8,000 pounds.
Bregenz, Dornbirn and Feldkirch in Vorarlberg, at roughly 1,050 km from London with no Alpine pass on the route. Graz is the most expensive of the main cities at about 1,600 km. On a 30 cubic metre move the difference between the two is around 500 pounds.
Because the final leg is priced on access rather than mileage. Kitzbuehel is closer to the UK than Vienna, but chalet approach roads often cannot take a full-size lorry, so goods transfer to a smaller vehicle, and in season parking is scarce. That handling stage is what you are paying for.
They are planning ranges compiled in August 2026 from published rates across ten UK departure points at MuveOne, VanOne, MyCheapRemovals and Dimond Movers, and reviewed annually. Use them to sanity check a quote. Certified movers with full export packing typically price thirty to fifty per cent above budget operators.
A shared load with flexible dates, having shipped as little as possible. Giving the mover a collection week rather than a collection day is usually worth thirty to forty per cent against a dedicated vehicle. Packing your own non-fragile boxes and avoiding the June to September peak both help further.
Usually not. Used household goods clear duty free under Uebersiedlungsgut relief if you have lived outside the EU for twelve consecutive months, have owned and used the goods for six months and import within twelve months of changing residence. Austrian VAT is 20 per cent if relief does not apply.
There should not be, but check for three: a parking permit or Halteverbot where one is needed, a shuttle stage if a full-size vehicle cannot reach the address, and storage if your dates slip. Ask about all three at quote stage and get the answer in writing.
Around 25 pounds a week for a typical three bedroom load, though it varies by location and whether the goods are stored in the UK or there. Ask about the handling charge for taking goods in and out as well as the weekly rate, and confirm who insures them while stored.
Rarely, once you add fuel, tolls, the local motorway Vignette, the Channel crossing, overnight stops, one way hire fees and several days of your own time. You also lodge the customs declaration alone. For most small moves a shared load with a professional company works out cheaper and considerably simpler.
