Quick answer: Glostrup sits at the road junction in the middle of Greater Copenhagen, which gives it the best lorry access of any municipality in the area. One vetted mover matched free. 07551 855 064.
If you drew a road map of Greater Copenhagen and marked where everything crosses, you would be looking at Glostrup.
The municipality sits at the junction of the main routes running west out of the capital and the ring running north to south. For a removal lorry that is close to ideal. Whichever direction the vehicle arrives from, it gets here without threading through anything narrow, and it never needs to enter central Copenhagen at all.
The route in is the standard capital one: Channel crossing, then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, up through Jutland, over the Little Belt onto Funen and the Great Belt onto Zealand, approaching from the west. Copenhagen Malmo Port covers sea freight with a short road leg.
Use postcode 2600 rather than writing Copenhagen. Glostrup is its own municipality with its own loading rules, and a permit arranged with the wrong council is no permit at all.

FIDI FAIM is the international quality standard for removal companies. To be accredited, a removal company must pass an independent audit by Ernst and Young covering more than 200 quality and operational criteria, repeated every three years.
International Removals Companies connects each enquiry with one FIDI-certified partner mover who works Danish routes. It does not carry out the move itself. DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD, company 07425576, has operated the service since November 2010. The enquiry is free.
Free. One FIDI-certified partner mover. No obligation.
Glostrup is about as easy as a capital area delivery gets, and it is worth saying why rather than just asserting it.
The municipality is compact, so no address is far from a main road. Those main roads are genuinely main roads, built to carry through traffic rather than serve a few houses. There is no old core to work around, no cobbled lanes and no pedestrianised centre. Residential streets are of modern width with houses set on plots that have driveways.
Apartment blocks are largely of recent construction with lifts and loading areas. Where there is a large institutional site in the municipality, access is controlled and needs arranging in advance, so mention it if your address is attached to one.
The only routine thing to check is lift dimensions against your largest item, which applies everywhere and is a two minute job before the survey rather than a problem on the day.
Loading and parking rules are set by Glostrup Municipality. Ask the mover to confirm they are applying to the right council rather than to Copenhagen.
Send the UK collection postcode, the full Glostrup delivery address, an inventory, the property type and access details, your preferred date and any special items. One FIDI-certified partner mover confirms the quote, the route and the customs paperwork.

Nobody can price your move honestly without knowing what you are shifting and where from. Here is what the partner mover will be asking about.
A one bedroom flat and a four bedroom house are not in the same bracket. Everything else adjusts around this.
Sharing container space costs less and takes longer, because your goods wait for other consignments.
Great Belt crossing, then the easiest final approach in the capital area.
Lifts, street width and parking all add hours. Full packing costs more up front and usually saves grief later.
Quotes come in pounds, but you will be spending Danish kroner when you land, since Denmark kept the krone and did not join the euro. Currency exchange is included in what we offer through our partners, with no hidden fees, competitive rates and five star consumer ratings.
Since Brexit the UK sits outside the EU, so goods from Britain need Danish customs clearance. The authority is Toldstyrelsen, the Danish Customs Agency, and it is Toldstyrelsen you deal with for goods rather than SKAT, which handles tax. The rules are national, so they apply the same in Glostrup as anywhere else in Denmark.
Two documents. Your mover files the customs clearance declaration. You separately complete a declaration of personal property, form 12.024, and send it to Toldstyrelsen yourself.
Keep receipts. You may be asked to show six months of ownership on valuable items.
Alcohol, tobacco, commercial vehicles and trade equipment are excluded, though portable tools are fine. If you do not qualify, Danish moms is 25%.
A few boxes and a four bedroom house need entirely different handling, and so does an office relocation. Pick the one that fits.
Moving companies quoting the capital ring vary widely, and price alone will not separate them. Accreditation is how you tell who has actually been checked, and it is worth looking at before price.
Audited independently by Ernst and Young against more than 200 quality and operational criteria, from how a firm handles client money to how it trains its crews. The audit repeats every three years.
Every mover we match you with holds it.
These tell you a company works to agreed standards and that you have somewhere to take a complaint.

Almost none, and the reason is worth stating. The municipality is compact so no address is far from a main road, and those roads were built to carry through traffic. There is no old core, no cobbled lanes and no pedestrianised centre. Residential streets are modern width with driveways, and apartment blocks are largely recent with lifts and loading areas. Just check lift dimensions against your largest item before the survey.
Not if you meet Toldstyrelsen's conditions for transferring your residence. You need 12 consecutive months living outside the EU, the goods arriving within 12 months of your move and no earlier than six months before it, and no lending or selling them for a year afterwards. If you do not qualify, Danish moms is 25%.
Two documents, not one. Your mover files the customs clearance declaration. You separately complete a declaration of personal property, form 12.024, and send it to Toldstyrelsen yourself. Keep receipts, because you may be asked to prove six months of ownership on valuable items.
Yes, but it is handled separately from your household goods. Vehicles come under Motorstyrelsen with its own rules and a registration fee. Ask the partner mover to quote for it as a separate item.
Yes. Coming back to Britain you will be dealing with HMRC and Transfer of Residence relief rather than Toldstyrelsen. See Denmark to Britain.
