Before you leave Hungary

• Your address registration — Report your move abroad to the address registration authorities, or — if you are a foreign resident — inform the immigration authorities. Keep any confirmation for your destination.
• Your Hungarian-registered vehicle — A car leaving Hungary for good is deregistered for export with the vehicle registration authority. Your new country then registers it.
• Tax and social insurance — Check your tax and social insurance position with the Hungarian tax authority (NAV) before leaving, especially if you have worked in Hungary.
• Proof of your residence — Destination customs often ask for proof of how long you lived outside their territory: keep your lease, utility bills and employment records.
• Contracts and subscriptions — Cancel or transfer electricity, internet, mobile and insurance contracts in good time, and keep the final bills as proof of your departure date.

Exporting your belongings from Hungary

To another EU country: if Hungary and your destination are both in the EU, your belongings travel freely. There is no export declaration and no customs clearance.

To a country outside the EU: we file the export declaration in Hungary on your behalf. What matters most is the import side: whether your belongings enter your new country free of duty depends on that country's rules. Each destination guide explains them.

Wherever you are going, prepare a detailed inventory of your belongings. It is required at destination for almost every move outside the EU, and it is the basis of your insurance.

Moves from Hungary to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, the United States, Canada or any other non-EU country require an export declaration, which we file before departure. Overseas containers usually travel via Koper, Rijeka or Hamburg.

How a move from Hungary works

1. Free quote. Give us your departure address, your new home in Hungary and a rough volume. We send an online estimate right away and a written quote within a day.
2. Survey and planning. A coordinator confirms your volume and the transport mode, and reviews the customs rules that apply to your move to Hungary.
3. Packing and collection. A packing crew comes to your address, prepares every item and loads the truck or the container at your door.
4. Transport. By road across Europe, or by sea container between continents — whichever best fits your route to Hungary.
5. Customs clearance (where required). We prepare the export declaration in Hungary and the import file for your destination (Hungarian export declaration for non-EU destinations).
6. Delivery and set-up. We deliver at your new address and, if you asked for it on the quote, unpack boxes and reassemble furniture.

A single point of contact handles your move from Hungary from estimate to delivery.

Modes and typical door-to-door times

Expect the figures below as indicative door-to-door windows; season, addresses and customs clearance can all shift them.

Door-to-door transit times are indicative and depend on the season, the exact addresses and, where required, customs clearance at destination.

How the price of your move from Hungary is calculated

Your price from Hungary is built from a handful of concrete variables, the same for every international mover:

• Volume — measured in cubic metres (m³) — the main cost driver. Our online volume calculator helps you estimate it room by room.
• Distance and route — measured on the actual road, from your door to your delivery address in Hungary.
• Transport mode — groupage, your own truck, shared or full container, air for urgent small shipments.
• Services — everything beyond pure transport: packing, dismantling, crating, short-term storage, extra legs by ferry.
• Access — floors without a lift, narrow streets, long carry distances or the need for an external lift.
• Customs — brokerage, declaration and port handling charges on routes to Hungary that cross a customs border.
• Insurance — priced as a percentage of what you tell us your belongings are worth.

Typical volumes, as a guide:

For road moves inside Europe, the estimator returns a starting price in two minutes. Sea freight, air freight and any move that crosses a customs border go through a written quote, delivered within 24 hours.
