MyCheapRemovals is known for its low-budget international removals to other European countries. What prices can you expect when you move from London to different cities in Portugal?

Nevertheless, some things remain the same – we offer professional and friendly Customer Service, experienced and helpful drivers, and final satisfaction from our services.

Every year thousands of Brits decide to escape from the capricious weather and move to Portugal. Algarve’s beaches and architecture dating back to the 1500s–1800s attract both visitors and expats to this breathtaking country. Regardless of how long you plan to spend in Portugal, you may need some basic information about its culture and customs. To save you time and effort, we prepared some information about Portuguese public holidays, car insurance and taxes, and the most popular supermarkets.

Public holidays in Portugal

Whether you are a visitor or an expat, you should take note of Portugal’s public holidays, as most businesses are closed on those days. Also, bear in mind, that unlike many European countries, if a national holiday falls on Sunday, it is not observed on the next Monday.

House removal may be a stressful event for those who move internationally. Also, it may be quite a time-consuming. It requires packing, estimating the volume and – what is most important – finding a reliable and cheap removal company. The good news is, that you have just found the right removal company. MyCheapRemovals offers low-cost and professional international removals from the UK to Portugal. The second good news is, that it does not have to take much time to move houses with our company. The delivery time is related to two things: the volume of your load, and the distance between the collection and delivery places.

Whether you are thinking of retiring to the Algarve or relocating to work in this area, MyCheapRemovals is here to help with your removal. Just because the service is cheap – or actually the cheapest on the international removal market – that doesn’t mean it’s less professional. We can achieve this through customer pre-packing service and we have a fleet of 50 vans and lorries. Our dedicated driver will help you with loading and unloading at the end of the journey. During transportation, we’ll take care of your belongings as our own.

Removals have never been so simple and cheap. In MyCheapRemovals we bend over backwards to make the whole process as straightforward and cost effective as possible. So how do we work?

LOADING YOUR GOODS

It all starts when our kind and experienced driver appears at your door to offer his assistance with loading your precious goods. His priority is to take some of the work off your shoulders and make the loading process as quick and pleasurable as possible! He makes sure everything is sufficiently packed and may suggest using some additional blankets for protection. He takes special care of the fragile items – with us there is no need to worry about them. If packing is not one of your strengths, please read up on our TIPS BEFORE MOVING. As everything is safely loaded, the driver secures your belongings with the belts to prevent them from moving while transportation. Then… off he goes! From this moment on, your goods are in the best hans you can imagine.

TRANSPORTATION

Your load goes straight to the delivery address in Italy. The driver stays inside the van the whole time until your precious load is delivered to the final destination. If he needs a pause, he chooses a guarded car park and sleeps in a sleeping cabin inside the van. The driver never leaves the customer’s goods unattended.

What is more, our experienced staff tracks the van throughout the way, to ensure that your belongings will be with you on time. Also, our Customer Service Specialist will be available for you to address all your questions and concerns. She will contact you at least half an hour before the driver’s arrival, so you will not be taken by surprise.

UNLOADING YOUR GOODS

As the van reaches the final destination in Italy, the driver helps you to unload the goods and carry them safely into your house. What is more, he will do it for absolutely free! All the charges are already included in the quotation you received before placing an order in MyCheapRemovals. It is clear, simple and cheap as never!

We strongly recommend reading our TERMS AND CONDITIONS before you make a booking, and CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIALIST.

I was moving household items from London to Austria and was initially a little concerned about going with the cheapest delivery quote. However, as the other reviews suggest, the service was excellent and all items arrived in the same condition that they left the UK. Natalia answered all my questions promptly and responded very quickly throughout the process. The items arrived a little later than planned (just a few hours) but given the length of travel and the COVID situation this was no problem. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.

We went with MCR because of the cheap price and the availability of the slightly larger capacity 20m3 luton van.Like some other customers, I was a bit concerned that the service might not be that great just because of the price. But actually everything went very smoothly on our move from South-East England to Ireland. Our driver Karol did not speak much English but we were still able to communicate well when we loaded and unloaded the van together. You could tell that he knew exactly what he was doing, and we were confident that everything would arrive in one piece -- which of course it did.So our experience was 100% great and I would definitely use them again.
