Removals to Paris – price guide.

If you moving to Paris from the UK, here at MyCheapRemovals you can get instant removal quote, however, as we are always honest about prices we prepared a small price guide. It helps you with planning your budget well in advance and also we can guarantee that we won’t be beaten on price. There are three main reasons why we can offer the most competitive prices:

All goods are pre-packed by a customer – it saves a lot of costs in manpower, usually calculated based on hours and total volume.
Predefined volumes – small removals – which is equivalent of 5 or 10 cubic meters or large removals – 15 or 30 cubic meters. The last option is also called “dedicated service” which guarantees the fastest delivery time.
No middle man – MyCheapRemovals has a fleet of more than 40 vans and lorries, so we don’t have to pay any fees or commissions.

There is actually another factor – as we frequently crossing the English Channel we managed to get a very good deal with ferries operators, so we get discounted prices.

School Holidays
School holidays in Germany are set at the regional level by each federal state. Each year for autumn, Christmas, Easter, and summer, plus schools in most states also have a winter break around February.
A few states have a break of about one to two weeks for Pentecost around May/June.
Car insurance and taxes in Germany
The calculation of motor vehicle tax is based on two main components:
1. CO2 emissions (two euros per gram per kilometre)
2. Engine size (two euros per 100cm³ for petrol engines and 9,50 euros per 100cm³ for diesel engines).
Before a person can register a car in Germany you must have proof of third party liability coverage for all damage or injury to another person, car or object.
While collision or comprehensive insurance isn’t required by law, most institutions financing the purchase of a vehicle do require it.
Supermarkets in Germany
Here is a list of some of the local stores:
- Aldi was the first discount chain in Germany
- Edeka Group is the largest German supermarket corporation
- Kaufland is a German “hypermarket” chain
- Lidl
- Netto Marken-Discount
- Penny Markt
- Rewe
- Tegut-Markt
Lidl and Aldi are the cheapest but they mostly have “no-brand” products, which doesn’t mean that the quality is bad. Edeka, ReWe, Kaisers are discounters as well, but they are more expensive, even when you buy their own brands like “JA!” at Rewe. Btw, some of those supermarkets are quite popular in the neighbour country – if you planning to move to Poland, you have a good chance to shop under these brands.
There are two types of supermarkets in Germany. The regular one and also the discount supermarkets. You can find almost everything you need in a discount supermarket at a low cost. Popular discount supermarkets: LIDL, NETTO, ALDI, and PENNY.
Also, everything is closed on Sundays. Yes, so you better get your supplies on time. The busses barely run, the whole town becomes so silent. It’s tough when you found out you ran out of bread!
