International Removals to and from Torrent
Torrent removals start with the mover posting no-parking plates at least 48 hours ahead at their own cost, with a daily fee of 10,75 to 32,32 euros for the vehicle’s space.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
Who puts up the no-parking signs in Torrent?
The person moving does, and at their own expense. Article 64 of Torrent’s circulation ordinance, section 9 on mudanzas, says those concerned must mark the loading spot for furniture “con al menos 48 horas de antelación”, using no-parking plates that show the date of the authorisation, the date of the operation and its hours.
The same section adds that the Policía Local is the body entitled to put up the signs, “sin perjuicio de la colaboración de los particulares”, meaning without ruling out help from private parties. The wording leaves it open who actually fits them on a given street, so ask the police how they want it done before ordering plates.
The trigger for all this is in section 9.1: a move done outside the spaces reserved for loading, or inside them but outside the hours shown for them, needs prior express authorisation.
Seven days for the space, ten for a street cut
Section 11 of the same article covers the application. It must be made in writing “con una antelación de al menos siete días naturales para la ocupación de la vía pública y diez para el corte de calle”. That is seven calendar days to occupy the road and ten to close a street, counted back from the day of the operation.
If the job needs part of the street closed to traffic or pedestrians, the application must say so clearly and include a plan of the street to be closed and the alternative routes proposed for the duration. When a closure is granted, the person concerned must post signs with the date and length of the closure at least 48 hours before.
The ordinance names an “Órgano Competente” as the body that grants, refuses or changes the request, depending on traffic, and does not name an office. Confirm with the town hall where the paper goes. Duty relief on belongings coming from the UK is the same in every town and is explained on our customs page.
What the daily fee is, street by street
The fee ordinance on the use of the public road lists “vehículos de mudanzas” among the vehicles whose reserved space is charged “por día o fracción”. A street in the first category costs 32,32 euros a day, the second 21,48 euros, and every other street 10,75 euros. One further line covers a move between two points in the town on the same day: the daily fee is then the one for the higher-category street among those affected.
The ordinance treats these as specific reservations for activities of up to 15 days and 100 square metres. Beyond either limit the charge falls under its general ground-occupation heading instead, and we have not read those rates. Where the street has to be closed to traffic, the daily fee is multiplied by 1,57 in a first-category street, 1,46 in a second-category street and 1,26 elsewhere. The multipliers follow the order of the printed table.
A private person pays by self-assessment before the licence is handed over. Someone who applies electronically pays after the council sends its bill. Which category your street has is shown in the street index (índice alfabético de vías públicas), published as the council’s 2026 street directory with a “categoría fiscal” column. We did not look up any street.
Who applies, and who pays for damage on the day?
The ordinance lets the driver, the vehicle’s holder or, where relevant, the owner of the goods submit the request, and it says the request is made in writing. The text does not say which of the three the town expects for a household move, so ask the Policía Local.
On the day, the rules for loading are plain. Loading is done from the side of the vehicle next to the pavement, and nothing being loaded or unloaded may be left on the ground so that it blocks the pavement or the carriageway. If spillage or damage to the road or its fittings results, the driver and the vehicle’s holder, or the owner of the goods, are responsible for cleaning or repair. When they do not act, the municipal services do the work and the cost falls on them.
Still to confirm with the town hall
The fee file we read is published as a January 2023 version and is the latest on the council’s fiscal list, so check that the figures are still those charged. The ordinances do not give the maximum vehicle weight, the hours of a moving day, or the office and form for the request. The fee ordinance spells the town Torrente in one sentence, the Spanish form of the name, and refers to the same place.
