Lucky to find Malaga removals

From start to finish everyone that I spoke to was helpful, patient and cheerful. The price quoted was very reasonable. We had a removal date booked, when, with little notice we had to cancel, as our buyer was not ready. Malaga removals, made no charge, just asked us to get back in touch when we were ready. This ended up being three months later, and they made no additional charges!
The collection in Malaga was punctual , with the friendliest of removal men. The delivery in London was the same. Nothing was broken. I have no hesitation in recommending this company, they made a stressful time much easier.

What a fabulous service both here and in Portugal.
This company made moving a joy!
Picked up from our house in Uk by friendly, considerate team. Took in numerous deliveries from suppliers and the team in Portugal were equally friendly and careful with everything.
Million percent recommend them and very reasonably priced!

Reliable, professional, and highly recommended

We’ve used Algarve Removals for shipping items securely and have been extremely impressed with their service. Communication throughout the process was excellent — clear, responsive, and reassuring at every stage.

Everything was handled with great care and professionalism, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish.

Fantastic service — highly recommended.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, and fast communications. All the staff (both at Malaga and the UK) were exceptionally helpful. The motorcycle was well wrapped and crated onto the stillafge with lots of protection to keep it in good condition.

Everything worked like clockwork

I cannot praise Algarve removals enough after my recent experience in using their on line shopping service. I still cannot believe that from the day when they received the final order from the on line company that it took less than a week to deliver my purchases to Northern Portugal. It was Easter weekend which made it all the more remarkable. So what was so good. The team at Algarve in England gave me clear instructions about the process to follow. They received purchases from 4 different companies , some with split deliveries. They communicated with me after every delivery to inform me what had arrived. Once the deliveries were completed 3 days later my purchases traveled to Portugal. On the following Tuesday at 9.15 am (the time stipulated) they arrived. The men delivering the goods were friendly and helpful. Everything worked like clockwork. Brilliant. Thank you so much Algarve removals I certainly will be using you again.

Definitely recommend

have used Algarve Removals twice in the past few years.
On both occasions the booking process was easy to navigate.
The administrative help was extremely helpful.
The collection and delivery drivers were punctual, friendly and efficient.
My possessions, including fragile musical instruments, all arrived in pristine condition.
For the service provided, I consider the price I paid to be very reasonable, and well worth it for the peace of mind.
I would definitely recommend the company.

Why go anywhere else?? Algarve Removals are the best….

This is our 3rd time using Algarve Removals, we wouldn’t even look anywhere else now! Fantastic service, quick to quote with excellent prices and excellent service both in the UK and on the Lisbon side. I had boxes picked up in London on a Thursday, they shipped at the weekend and arrived to us here in Lisbon the following Friday. A seamless service. The guys on both sides were absolutely excellent, picked up and delivered on time & extremely helpful & friendly. I was on my own when they delivered in Lisbon and they put boxes in the requested room and piled them up tidily for me. Excellent customer & delivery service - way above five star rating!! big thanks to a great company and it’s wonderful staff …….

This is the second part of a three-stage move I’ve used Algarve Removals for while relocating from Yorkshire to the Algarve, and I genuinely cannot thank them enough.

Everybody involved has been amazing professional, kind, caring and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. From the team in the office in Essex who have been so responsive and organised, to the men who came to pack and move our belongings with such care, everything has been handled brilliantly.

The team in the Algarve have also been fantastic. They’ve already completed one delivery for us and are about to store and deliver another load of our belongings, and the service has been outstanding.

What really stands out is not only the professionalism and kindness of everyone involved, but also that their pricing has been very competitive, which makes the level of service even more impressive.

Moving countries can be stressful, but Algarve Removals have made the whole experience smooth and reassuring.

Five stars all the way. I would recommend them to anyone and would happily use them again for any move in the future

Dave and Aaron were great

Dave and Aaron were great, professional, hard working and courteous. They handled our delicate pieces of furniture with competence and care. A stressful day for us was made better by their ' can do' attitude, nothing was to much trouble.
When paying for your service on the phone, Nicola was a joy. It was almost a pleasure to part with our money.
If the delivery service is as professional we will be very impressed.

Another great delivery and service .

We moved from the UK a couple of years ago and Algarve removals did an amazing job of packing and moving our whole house contents and delivered to our new villa on the Algarve . I have also used them many times now bringing items over from Uk and Spain on day to day purchases . Great service and staff thanks again .

Moving to Portugal is a huge life step

Moving to Portugal is a huge life step, and naturally it comes with a lot of questions, uncertainty, and planning. From the very beginning, Algarve Removals made what could have been a stressful experience feel incredibly smooth and manageable.

What really stood out to me was their communication and willingness to help. No matter how many questions I had throughout the process, they were always happy to answer them. They never made anything feel like a problem or an inconvenience, which gave me a lot of confidence during such a big move.

I opted for their full packing service, and I am so glad I did. The team was professional, organised, and extremely careful with everything they packed. You could tell they had done this many times before because they worked efficiently while still treating every item with respect.

One thing that really impressed me was the flexibility and attitude of the team. In the end, I actually ended up moving around two and a half times more than I originally planned. Many companies might have made this difficult or stressful, but with Algarve Removals it genuinely wasn’t a problem at all.

They simply adapted, handled it professionally, and continued the job with the same positive attitude.
Moving countries can be overwhelming, but having a company that is experienced, calm, organised, and genuinely helpful makes a huge difference. From packing, to logistics, to answering questions along the way, they made the entire process far easier than I expected.

For anyone considering a move to Portugal — especially if you're relocating to the Algarve — I would highly recommend Algarve Removals. Their professionalism, flexibility, and customer service really stood out, and they played a big part in making my move a positive experience.

A big thank you to the whole team.
