Many people living in the UK were looking at a move to Germany and are now wanting to know what has changed regarding removals to Germany after a Brexit.

Removals to Germany after the Brexit transition period is closed. You will probably find the entire process of removals to Germany will become more complicated and costly to complete.

It also becomes slightly more complicated to gain resident status and to be able to work in Germany after Brexit. You will need a work visa or resident status. This makes a move to Germany from the UK a bit more complicated in 2021 onwards, however, moving to Germany from the UK is still achievable with MyCheapRemovals help.

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!

I am very happy with the service from my cheap removals. Before the removal i had a few times contact with them by phone and email, always very helpful and friendly. When it was the day from the removal they came on time and handled everything with care and very helpful with getting everything in the van, also very friendly. And a bit more then 2 days later everything was in the country of destination. Loaded everything out with care, again on time and wanting to help to get everything where we wanted to have it.

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.
