In short: A move from the UK to Kildare is matched to one FIDI-certified partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Goods travel by ferry and road, usually via the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Kildare is an EU import, so Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076 can remove import duty and the 23% Irish VAT when you qualify.
Part-load (shared) and full-load options are available, with customs handled on Form C&E 1076 through Revenue.
A move to Kildare Town from the UK uses the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing, run by Irish Ferries and Stena Line at about 3 hours 15 minutes. From Dublin Port, the van takes the M50 south and then the N7 and M7 motorway south-west to junction 13. Kildare Town is about 55 kilometres from Dublin Port on the M7, a drive of around 40 to 50 minutes. Junction 13 is the M7 access point for Kildare Town.
Kildare Town is one of the oldest continuously occupied settlements in Ireland. St Brigid founded her monastery here in the late 5th century on a site that may have been a pre-Christian sacred place. The Irish name Cill Dara means the church of the oak. St Brigid’s Cathedral in the town centre is a 13th-century Gothic church built on the original monastic site. In the grounds stands the Kildare Round Tower, over 33 metres tall and the highest accessible round tower in Ireland, dating from the 10th century. The cathedral and round tower sit on Market Square, the historic heart of the town.
Kildare Town is a separate destination from Naas (10 kilometres north) and Newbridge (10 kilometres north-east). The three towns each have their own Eircode routing key. The flat Curragh plain stretches east from the town to the racecourse. The town sits on higher ground at the edge of the plain. Modern residential estates and the Irish National Stud are on the outskirts. The Market Square and the older streets around the cathedral have a historic layout.
International Removals Companies connects your enquiry with one FIDI-certified partner mover for the UK to Kildare route. We are not a removal company. The service is free.
Kildare Town has a medieval town centre around the cathedral and modern estates on the outskirts. Confirm it is Kildare Town and not Naas or Newbridge by always including the Eircode.
Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Kildare is an EU import. A customs declaration is needed when the goods arrive in Ireland. Revenue’s Transfer of Residence relief, claimed on Form C&E 1076, removes import duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings if you qualify. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive.
The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
To qualify, you generally need to have owned and used the goods for at least six months and be establishing permanent residence in Ireland. After arriving in Kildare, apply for a PPS number — the Personal Public Service number — at your local Intreo centre. You will need it for Revenue, banking and most official matters. Always include the Eircode for your delivery address in the enquiry.
The Republic of Ireland uses the euro (EUR), not sterling. Moving to Kildare means moving into a euro economy. Deposits, local charges and day-to-day costs are all in euro once you arrive.
International Removals Companies works with currency exchange partners. We do not provide currency exchange ourselves. If you need to convert sterling to euro for your move, we can connect you with a partner who can help. This is separate from the removals service and carries no obligation.

FIDI FAIM is the main quality standard for international removal companies. Partner movers pass an independent audit by Ernst and Young every three years, covering more than 200 quality checks. For a move that crosses an EU customs border, that standard matters.
Moves to Kildare Town use the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing, run by Irish Ferries and Stena Line at about 3 hours 15 minutes. From Dublin Port, the van takes the M50 south and then the N7 and M7 motorway south-west to junction 13 at Kildare. Kildare Town is about 55 kilometres from Dublin Port on the M7, a drive of around 40 to 50 minutes. Junction 13 is the M7 access point for Kildare Town, about 3 kilometres south of the Newbridge junction 12.
St Brigid’s Cathedral is a medieval church at the heart of Kildare Town, built on the site of the monastery founded by St Brigid in the 5th century. The current cathedral is mainly 13th-century Gothic, rebuilt between 1223 and 1230 on an earlier structure. In the cathedral grounds stands the Kildare Round Tower, the highest accessible round tower in Ireland at over 33 metres. The round tower dates from the 10th century and is built from Wicklow granite at the base and local limestone above. The Market Square in front of the cathedral is the historic centre of Kildare Town and the streets around it have an older layout.
No. Kildare Town, Naas and Newbridge are three separate towns in County Kildare, each with their own Eircode routing key and their own delivery address. Kildare Town is at M7 junction 13. Newbridge is at M7 junction 12, about 10 kilometres north-east. Naas is about 10 kilometres north of Kildare Town at the start of the M7. All three are separate delivery destinations. Always include the full Eircode and the town name when you enquire to ensure the mover routes the van correctly.
Transfer of Residence relief is claimed on Form C&E 1076 from Revenue. It removes Customs Duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings when you move your home to Ireland from outside the EU. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Kildare is an EU import. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive at Dublin Port. Check revenue.ie for the current conditions.
A dedicated van from most UK cities to Kildare Town takes one to two days from collection. The Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing is about 3 hours 15 minutes. The M7 drive from Dublin Port to Kildare junction 13 is about 40 to 50 minutes. Kildare Town is well-served by the M7. It is a straightforward delivery for a mover coming from Dublin Port. The flat, open Curragh plain means approach roads to the town are generally clear and wide. The racecourse and Irish National Stud are on the outskirts. A shared load takes one to three weeks.
The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive at Dublin Port from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
An Eircode is the Irish postcode, a seven-character code unique to each address. Kildare Town is close to Naas and Newbridge. A postal address that just says County Kildare could refer to any of three nearby towns. The Eircode eliminates this ambiguity and tells the mover exactly which town and which property the delivery is heading to. Always include the full seven-character Eircode in the enquiry.
A small shared load to Kildare Town starts from about 300 to 900 pounds for single items. A part load of a few rooms runs from about 1,200 to 3,000 pounds. A full house on a dedicated van starts from about 3,500 pounds. The M7 gives Kildare Town fast access from Dublin Port. The firm price is confirmed by the mover after a survey.
