Vlaardingen is a South Holland city 8 kilometres west of Rotterdam on the north bank of the Maas. It was the centre of the Dutch herring fishing industry in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today it is a modern residential city serving the Rotterdam port and petrochemical sector. Most residential areas were built in the post-war period. Statistics Netherlands records around 3,000 British nationals moving to the Netherlands each year. The Rotterdam conurbation — including Schiedam, Vlaardingen and Spijkenisse — attracts a significant share of UK professionals in the port, logistics and chemical sectors.
P&O Hull to Rotterdam overnight is the most direct sea route. Rotterdam Europoort lands goods about 15 minutes from Vlaardingen. Stena Line Harwich to Hook of Holland lands about 20 minutes from Vlaardingen by road. The Eurotunnel road from Folkestone through Belgium reaches Vlaardingen in about three hours from the Channel. Folkestone to Calais takes 35 minutes.

Vlaardingen is mostly a post-war residential city. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1950s and 1990s. Wide roads and standard staircase access are the norm. There are no canal houses. A verhuislift is not normally needed for Vlaardingen properties.
The historic centre near the Vlaardingse Vaart canal has some older properties with narrower streets. Your partner mover checks these before collection day. The Holy, Babberspolder and Westwijk districts are modern residential areas with straightforward vehicle access.
Vlaardingen has good road access from both the A20 and A4 motorways. Large removal vehicles can reach most addresses without advance planning.
These are rough planning guides only. Every move is different. The actual price depends on your volume, UK collection address, vlaardingen delivery address and access. Your matched removal company prices the move after a proper survey.

Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU. Your goods need Dutch customs clearance when they arrive. 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.
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 it saves stress. Don't exchange at the airport or ferry terminal. Rates are poor. Online services like Wise or XE offer better rates than banks. Set up a euro account before you travel. Check the live GBP/EUR rate at XE.com before you commit. The rate changes daily. International Removals Companies does not offer currency exchange.
