Enschede is the largest city in the Twente region of Overijssel. It is close to the German border. Hengelo is just 8 kilometres to the west. It's the same removals market. Hengelo, 8 kilometres to the west, is effectively a twin city and shares the same removals market. Most people searching for a moving company Enschede or removals to Hengelo are relocating for work at the University of Twente (UT), Thales Nederland, Siemens, or one of the Twente region's many manufacturing and technology employers. The University of Twente is known for engineering, tech and startups. It draws many UK staff.
Removals to Enschede from the UK most commonly use the P&O Hull to Rotterdam overnight ferry for northern UK collection points, followed by a two-hour road journey northeast to Enschede. The Eurotunnel road from Folkestone through Belgium and into the Netherlands is also used for southern UK postcodes. Folkestone to Calais takes 35 minutes. Enschede is roughly five to five and a half hours from the Channel by road. Stena Line runs Harwich to Hook of Holland in about seven hours, landing near Rotterdam. Rotterdam to Enschede is about two hours.
DFDS runs Newcastle to IJmuiden overnight, close to Amsterdam. From Amsterdam, Enschede is about one and a half hours east by road. For house removals to Enschede from the East Midlands or East Anglia, the Stena Line Harwich route is often the most practical crossing.

Enschede was largely rebuilt after a fireworks depot explosion in 2000. The blast destroyed a large part of the city. The rebuild created a modern, open area. Roads are wide. Access is easy. As a result, much of the residential area is modern. It has wide roads, standard staircases and good vehicle access for removal lorries. There is no historic canal-house belt and no verhuislift requirement for the vast majority of properties. This makes access simpler than Amsterdam, Utrecht or Leiden.
Hengelo, the twin city, is also predominantly modern and suburban. Access is standard throughout. The University of Twente campus is located between Enschede and Hengelo on the former Drienerlo estate. Campus properties and the surrounding residential areas in Enschede-Noord and Enschede-West have wide roads and modern building access.
The older binnenstad (city centre) of Enschede does have a small number of older buildings, but even here staircases are generally wider than the historic Dutch canal cities. Your partner mover confirms access at survey. Moving into an apartment block in the centre? Confirm the lift dimensions and staircase width before collection day.
These are rough planning guides only. Every move is different. The actual price depends on your volume, UK collection address, enschede delivery address and access. Your matched removal company prices the move after a proper survey. For a full cost breakdown see Netherlands removals costs.

Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU. Your goods need Dutch customs clearance when they arrive. This applies to all removals to Enschede and Hengelo from the UK. The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel exemption removes import duty and 21% BTW on goods owned for at least six months. You must import everything within twelve months of taking up Dutch residence. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. You can't self-file. Your mover handles the AGS claim.
The Netherlands uses the euro. The currency code is EUR. Once you arrive, most costs will be in euros: rent, bills and food. Sort your exchange early. It saves money and stress.
