Removals from the Canary Islands to Málaga

We organize removals from the Canary Islands to Málaga from any island in the archipelago. It is a departure route with two particularities that a domestic removal does not have: a maritime leg and customs clearance, because the Canary Islands fall outside the territory where VAT applies. At Horizont Atlantic, with our own base in Tenerife, we collect from your home, ship and deliver assembled in your Málaga home with a fixed price.

How the Canary Islands - Málaga route works

The circuit is always the same, only the departure island changes: we collect from your home, consolidate in a container at the island port and ship to Puerto de Cádiz, the nearest peninsular point to the archipelago. From there the cargo goes by road to Málaga via cross-dock, with no intermediate storage. Transit is around 8 days from shipment, with weekly departures.

Compared to inland mainland destinations, Málaga has a concrete advantage: the land leg from Cádiz is short, so neither the timeframe nor the price is burdened with a half-peninsula journey. If your removal goes the other way, you have removals from Málaga to the Canary Islands.

Which islands we operate from

We cover the eight routes, each with its own departure operation:

In La Gomera and El Hierro you must account for the inter-island link: the cargo passes through Tenerife, where the container waits in our facilities instead of at the dock.

Where we deliver in Málaga

We deliver throughout the province of Málaga —capital, western Costa del Sol (Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona), Axarquía (Vélez-Málaga, Torre del Mar, Nerja) and interior (Antequera, Ronda, Álora, Coín)— and also in Granada and Almería, including the Tropical Coast (Motril, Almuñécar) and Almería's Poniente (Roquetas de Mar, El Ejido). It is the same circuit: the cargo enters via Cádiz and is distributed along the southern Mediterranean arc.

Two things are always planned from the quote and not on delivery day: the Low Emission Zone and loading schedules in the capital, and access permits and community hours in closed urbanizations on the coast. That is where we determine which vehicle does the last mile.

Groupage or exclusive container

For a one or two-bedroom apartment, groupage: you share a container and pay for the actual volume you occupy. For a complete home or with a set delivery date, the exclusive container, which does not wait for consolidation to be completed. From Tenerife and Gran Canaria groupages are completed sooner, due to traffic volume; from the smaller islands it is advisable to allow for more margin.

Procedures: DUA and VAT exemption

Taking your belongings out of the Canary Islands requires DUA and customs clearance. If you move due to change of habitual residence, you can claim VAT exemption on used personal property, meeting requirements and deadlines. We prepare the DUA and valued inventory and tell you which supporting documents to gather —de-registration from the island registry and registration in the Málaga municipality—. The complete procedure is in removals from the Canary Islands to the Iberian Peninsula.

Price

The price is calculated by actual volume (m³), plus access at origin and destination and extras: full packing, temporary storage or car transport. Calculate your volume with the cubic meters guide and request your fixed price quote: in writing and itemized, with no charges appearing later.
