International Removals to and from Las Rozas de Madrid
Las Rozas removals are charged 10.21 euros per metre of kerb per day for a moving lorry, on a request filed 72 hours or more beforehand.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
How much kerb can a moving lorry take in Las Rozas?
Up to 20 metres. The traffic ordinance lets the person who holds the moving authorisation ban parking along a stretch of kerb of no more than 20 metres, and the reservation covers “un máximo de 3 días concretos”, at most three specific days.
That cap matters because the fee is charged per linear metre. The 2026 fiscal ordinance, with its row “Reserva de vía pública con camión de mudanzas”, sets 10.21 euros per metre per day. If the full 20 metres were held, one day would cost 20 times 10.21, which is 204.20 euros; a shorter stretch costs proportionately less. Those sums are our arithmetic, since the council gives only the rate. A stretch sized to the lorry rather than the whole 20 metres keeps the bill down, so tell the removal team the vehicle’s length early.
The 2026 text appeared in the Madrid bulletin on 30 December 2025 and applies from 1 January 2026, so the figure is the current year’s. The council’s 2022 ordinance on the same subject carries the same 10.21 euros for this row, so the rate has not changed between the two.
What are the 72-hour and 48-hour rules?
They are two different clocks. The authorisation request must reach the council at least 72 hours before the operation starts, and the parking ban itself must be signed 48 hours before it takes effect.
The 72 hours sits in the article on special handling, which says the council may grant temporary parking reservations “para tareas específicas como mudanzas, obras”. The request has to give the applicant company’s name, the vehicle’s dimensions and weight, its registration, the place of origin, the exact loading spot and the expected duration. If what happens on the day does not match the authorisation, the Policía Municipal can suspend it at once.
The fee travels with the request. The ordinance requires the applicant to hand in the payment calculation together with the application. The fee ordinance also has a lower row for occasional loading and unloading, 1.36 euros per metre per day, but moving lorries have their own named row at 10.21, so ask the council rather than assuming the lower figure.
The 48 hours belongs to the moving firm, not to you. It fits the signs, and each one has to show the date, the hour work begins and who the firm is, with its registered address. Separately, the firm reports the job to the Policía Local at the time the authorisation sets.
What counts as a move, and what does not?
The ordinance defines a move as carrying used furniture and its accessories within Las Rozas, or between the town and other places in either direction. A removal from or to a foreign address is therefore not outside the wording, although the text does not address international moves by name.
Journeys by vehicles whose authorised maximum mass does not exceed 3,500 kg are excluded. A glossary entry in the same ordinance is wider: a smaller vehicle still counts if it needs outside mechanical means, such as pulleys, for loading and unloading. Where cranes or lifting platforms are used over the street, the applicant needs civil liability insurance, the working area has to be fenced, and a safe pedestrian route must be kept open.
What may and may not happen on the day?
Traffic must not be cut at any moment, access to properties has to stay open, the lorry stands against the kerb in the reserved zone and emergency vehicles must still be able to pass. Closing a road is a separate matter with its own fee rows, 102.34 euros a day for a partial closure and 204.66 euros for a full one, and it is not what a standard removal request covers.
Companies that do this work regularly can hold an annual authorisation for parking areas, and the ordinance lists moves among the temporary reasons for entering the restricted-access zone. The council text is silent on which office receives requests, so confirm that when you ask.
Where else do Madrid-area rules differ?
Our Madrid guide covers the capital. A fixed daily sum plus a rate per square metre is Majadahonda’s way, and Pozuelo de Alarcón wants fifteen working days’ warning. Relief from duty when you bring belongings in is explained in our guide to shipping household goods to Spain.
