In short: A move from the UK to Navan 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 Navan 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 Navan 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 briefly then the M3 motorway north-west. Navan is about 50 kilometres from Dublin Port, a drive of roughly 45 minutes to one hour. The M3 is a toll road that terminates near Navan at junction 7. The R147 road leads from the junction into the town centre.
Navan is the county town of Meath and the largest town in the county. It sits at the confluence of the Rivers Boyne and Blackwater, where these two historic waterways meet in the heart of the Boyne Valley. The town has grown rapidly as a commuter centre for Dublin, with a population of around 30,000. The Boyne Valley, which runs east from Navan towards Drogheda, contains Newgrange and Knowth, the UNESCO World Heritage passage tombs built around 3200 BC. The Hill of Tara, traditionally the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, is about 10 kilometres south of Navan.
A new distributor road, the LDR4, opened in October 2025 to improve traffic flow from the north of Navan to the M3, reducing congestion in the town centre. This improves access to the northern residential estates and the Clonmagadden area. Modern residential estates in Navan have good road access. Older market-town streets near the River Boyne can be narrower.
