Help-moving to Spain
Hi,
I have to first apologize as i am not really an ex-pat but a Spanish myself who has lived for 7 years in the UK.
We are moving from Exeter to Bilbao at the end of November and we are trying to find out if perhaps we can find an imaginative (cheaper but still safe) way to move some of our stuff from Exeter To Northern Spain.
Perhaps there is someone out there that may be doing the trip from the UK to Spain empty handed? Maybe we could share the costs of their trip?
We will probably require no more than 8 m3 (cubic meters) mostly in boxes + 4 chairs with unassembled dinning table+2 bikes and maybe some fragile stuff (e.g. paintings and a few plants if possible).
Should anyone be able to offer help we would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
Agustin

Hi and welcome
Have you looked at the one way van hire links in the "free beer" sticky above?

Re: Help-moving to Spain
Hi again,
thank you for the tip.
Yes, I have seen at least 3 companies offering one-way van hire. At the moment this is not my preffered option as their depots in Spain seem to always be around Alicante or Malaga (far from Bilbao).
Regards,
Agustin

Re: Help-moving to Spain
May be, if you have a tow bar fitted to the car, to purchase a trailer and bring your items yourself. Moving to Northern Spain is usually too far out on a limb for most removal companies. An alternative is to look for companies that do removals to Portugal as they seem to pass the Northern part of Spain with more frequency.
