Removals From Ireland to Portugal

Choose the right option for your move to Portugal

Whether you are sending a few belongings or moving the contents of a complete family home, we can advise on the most suitable transport option based on your volume, destination and timescale.

Part-Load / Groupage Removals

Moving boxes, a few pieces of furniture or a small apartment? Your belongings travel alongside other compatible shipments heading on a similar European route, so you only pay for the space you use.

Palletised Transport

For smaller quantities of boxes, personal belongings or suitable pieces of furniture, we can prepare and secure your goods on pallets and move them through our European transport network.

Dedicated Loads

For larger house moves, or when you need more control over collection and delivery dates, a dedicated removal vehicle carries your belongings and nobody else’s, direct to your new home in Portugal.

Professional Removals to Portugal

Every relocation is different. To help us plan your move and give you an accurate quotation, tell us about:

Collection & delivery

Your collection address in Ireland and your destination address in Portugal.

Moving date & property

Your approximate moving date and the size of your property.

Furniture & boxes

A furniture inventory, approximate number of moving boxes and any large items.

Access at both homes

Floor level, lift availability, parking and access at both properties, including narrow streets.

Packing & storage

Let us know whether you need packing services, storage in Dublin or both.

Fragile & specialist items

Tell us about fragile, valuable or specialist belongings that need extra protection or crating.

These details help us plan the right crew, vehicle and transport arrangement for your move from Ireland to Portugal.

For our wider European moving service, visit UK & European Relocations.

Ireland to Portugal Removals by Road

European road transport is the main option for removals from Ireland to Portugal. We operate our own European fleet and work with an extensive international network, so your move can be managed from collection in Ireland through to final delivery in Portugal with one point of contact.

Depending on the requirements of your move, the service can include:

• Household collection in Ireland
• Professional packing
• Furniture protection
• Loading
• European road transport
• Destination coordination
• Unloading in Portugal
• Suitable furniture reassembly where arranged

The right transport arrangement depends on your shipment volume, addresses, dates and access at both properties.

Removals From Dublin to Portugal

Many Portugal relocations begin in Dublin.

Get Cracking can discuss collections from:

• Dublin City
• Castleknock
• Blanchardstown
• Swords
• Malahide
• Clontarf
• Lucan
• Tallaght
• Dundrum
• Sandyford
• Blackrock
• Dún Laoghaire
• Other parts of Dublin

Collections can also be discussed from elsewhere in Ireland.

For the Irish part of the relocation, see our Dublin Removals service.

Removals to Lisbon

Lisbon is the most popular destination for people moving from Ireland to Portugal, for work, family or a fresh start. Get Cracking can arrange removals to Lisbon and the surrounding areas, including Cascais, Estoril, Sintra and Oeiras.

Much of central Lisbon is hilly, with narrow streets and older apartment buildings. Before moving day, tell Get Cracking about:

• Apartment floor
• Lift availability and size
• Parking restrictions
• Loading areas
• Carrying distance
• Large furniture
• Narrow streets or steps
• Building-management requirements

Providing access information early helps us plan delivery more efficiently.

Removals to Porto and Northern Portugal

Get Cracking can also arrange removals to Porto from Ireland, along with moves to Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro, Coimbra and destinations throughout northern and central Portugal.

Porto has many traditional buildings with steep stairs and limited lift access. If you are moving into an apartment, check:

• Floor number
• Lift dimensions
• Stair access
• Entrance width
• Parking availability
• Restricted loading areas
• Distance between the vehicle and property

Photographs of difficult access can be useful before delivery.

Removals to the Algarve

The Algarve is a long-standing favourite for Irish families and retirees relocating to Portugal. Get Cracking can discuss removals to the Algarve including:

• Faro
• Lagos
• Albufeira
• Vilamoura
• Portimão
• Tavira
• Loulé
• Carvoeiro
• Other Algarve locations

For villas, rural properties or gated developments, tell us about narrow roads, steep driveways, gates and parking so delivery vehicles can be planned correctly.

Removals Across Portugal

Get Cracking can discuss moves to destinations throughout mainland Portugal, including:

• Lisbon
• Porto
• Faro
• Lagos
• Albufeira
• Cascais
• Sintra
• Braga
• Coimbra
• Aveiro
• Setúbal
• Évora
• Leiria
• Other Portuguese destinations

Provide the exact delivery address when requesting your quotation.

Removals to Madeira and the Azores

If you are moving to an island destination such as Madeira or the Azores, your move will need additional transport arrangements beyond mainland Portugal.

These moves should therefore be assessed individually. Tell us your island and delivery address when you request a quote.

Packing for Removals to Portugal

Good packing is especially important when belongings are travelling across Europe and being handled more than on a local move.

Get Cracking provides Professional Packing Services depending on your requirements.

Packing can include:

• Full household packing
• Partial packing
• Fragile-item packing
• Kitchen packing
• Furniture protection
• Artwork and mirror protection
• Moving cartons
• Packing materials
• Unpacking where arranged

Keep important documents, medication, keys and anything you need straight away after arriving in Portugal separate from the goods being transported.

Moving Boxes for Your Portugal Relocation

If you prefer to pack some of your belongings yourself, use strong boxes and proper packing materials.

Get Cracking supplies Moving Boxes & Packing Materials.

Useful materials can include:

• Medium moving boxes
• Large moving boxes
• Wardrobe cartons
• Packing paper
• Bubble wrap
• Tape
• Fragile tape
• Mattress protection
• Labels

Label each carton clearly with its destination room, for example KITCHEN, BEDROOM 1, LIVING ROOM or HOME OFFICE. Good labelling makes unloading and unpacking in Portugal considerably easier.

Furniture Removals to Portugal

Furniture is often a significant part of an Ireland to Portugal move. Your shipment may include:

• Sofas
• Beds
• Mattresses
• Wardrobes
• Dining tables
• Chairs
• Desks
• Bookcases
• Cabinets
• Sideboards
• Garden furniture

Suitable furniture may need to be dismantled before transport and reassembled at your new home.

See our dedicated Furniture Removals service.

Fragile and Valuable Items

Some belongings need more specialist protection. These may include:

• Artwork
• Mirrors
• Antiques
• Glass furniture
• Sculptures
• Musical instruments
• Large televisions
• Fragile collections

Get Cracking can arrange Custom Crating where appropriate. Tell us about unusually fragile, valuable or oversized belongings when requesting your quote.

Apartment and House Removals to Portugal

Many customers moving to Portugal are relocating into apartments, while others are moving the complete contents of a family home to a villa or townhouse.

Apartment deliveries require good access information. Before the move, check:

• Floor number
• Lift availability and dimensions
• Stair access
• Underground parking
• Loading areas
• Building rules
• Long carrying distances
• Restricted moving times

For larger house moves, an accurate inventory helps determine the right vehicle and crew. You can use our Household Goods Volume Calculator to estimate the volume of your belongings.

Storage Before Moving to Portugal

Your collection and delivery dates do not always line up perfectly. Storage can be useful if:

• Your Portuguese property is not ready
• You need to leave your Irish property early
• Renovation work is continuing
• You are moving in stages
• You are downsizing
• Some belongings will travel later

Get Cracking provides Storage Services in Dublin. We can collect your belongings, place them into storage and arrange onward transport to Portugal when you are ready to receive them. Storage at destination can also be enquired about through our international moving network.

Office Relocations to Portugal

Get Cracking also provides business and office moving services. A relocation from Ireland to Portugal may involve:

• Office furniture
• Files and documents
• Computers and monitors
• IT equipment
• Moving crates
• Professional packing
• Temporary storage

Sensitive equipment may require specialist packing. For larger commercial moves, visit Office Relocations, and for critical infrastructure see Data Centre & Server Relocations.

How Much Do Removals to Portugal Cost?

There is no single price for removals from Ireland to Portugal because every relocation is different.

The price can depend on:

• Shipment volume
• Collection location
• Destination in Portugal
• Number of movers required
• Packing requirements
• Furniture dismantling
• Access
• Carrying distance
• Storage
• Part-load, palletised or dedicated transport
• Delivery requirements
• Timing

A small apartment move to Lisbon will have different requirements from moving the complete contents of a large family home to the Algarve. For smaller moves, a part-load service is often the most cost-effective option.

Why Shipment Volume Matters

The amount of space your belongings occupy is one of the most useful pieces of information when planning a European move. Volume can affect:

• Vehicle-space requirements
• Loading time
• Packing
• Storage
• Transport planning
• Overall cost

Rather than relying only on the number of bedrooms, provide an inventory or use the Get Cracking Volume Calculator.

Moving From Ireland to Portugal: What to Know

Portugal and Ireland are both EU Member States, so moving household goods between them is simpler than moving to a country outside the European Union. You should still check current requirements if transporting vehicles, restricted goods or items subject to specific controls.

If you are relocating permanently, EU citizens remaining in Portugal for more than three months are generally required to obtain a registration certificate, requested through the municipality where you live. For current official information, see Portugal’s AIMA guidance for EU citizens.

Professional European Moving Standards

When choosing a company for removals to Portugal, price is important, but experience and professional industry standards also matter. Get Cracking is accredited by and a member of the leading international moving associations.

Insurance for Removals to Portugal

Insurance is not automatically included with your removal. If you require cover, request it from Get Cracking in advance.

Get Cracking offers MoveProtect Cover for international relocations. A Valuation Form should be completed declaring the replacement value of the goods being moved, and the appropriate cover should be in place before collection, subject to the applicable policy terms and conditions.

Preparing for Delivery in Portugal

Before your belongings arrive, make sure the destination property is ready. Check:

• Keys
• Parking
• Vehicle access
• Lift availability
• Stair access
• Building rules
• Furniture positions
• Restricted delivery times

If suitable furniture is being reassembled, decide where each item should go before unloading begins.
