Your moving company in Fuerteventura

In principle, we will endeavour to carry out the move within the loading and unloading hours permitted in the city centre zone, without needing to apply for a reservation of public road space. Only when the scale of the move is particularly large will we request this permit, which, depending on the local authority, typically takes around 7–10 days to be granted.

This is a very important question, and the answer may surprise you — what seems cheaper at first glance often is not.
To help clarify, we distinguish between fragile items (fine glassware, kitchenware, electronics and decorative objects) and non-fragile items (bedding, clothing, books, etc.). Whenever a move takes place, the hired company must guarantee the condition of all items delivered inside boxes. For this reason, packing fragile items is always carried out by our team, ensuring their integrity throughout transit. Clients may choose whether or not to add our packing service for non-fragile items (clothing, books, toys, etc.).

Logic tells us that we should request quotes from at least three or four removal companies that appear in the top positions of whichever search engine we use.

However, we need to be wary of web portals that advertise non-specialist companies — these often offer discounts of up to 60% right off the bat. The policy of such companies is to subcontract all services to bogus self-employed workers with no accountability or experience whatsoever. As a result, quality will drop almost as much as the price.

Below you will find a few tips to help you identify a professional removal company.

Transparent website.-

Companies with a solid track record in the sector have an extensive website, rich in both content and images, and they typically showcase photos of previously completed jobs.

Top positions in organic search results:

Companies that appear below the paid advertising spots in the organic search results are there because they have a long-standing presence in the industry and tend to carry higher ratings on review platforms. You can also find removal companies in Fuerteventura by searching on Google Maps.

A family member has previously used their service.

This may well be the best indicator of a professional company. If a family member or friend recommends a company, it is because they were satisfied with the work carried out. Trust those recommendations.

There are several factors that make a move more or less affordable.

Service dates.

The most expensive months are the summer months from June to September; outside these dates your move can cost up to 25 % less compared to those months.

Pedestrian zones:

More than a difficulty, this is an actual constraint on the time window available for the move. For example, in city-centre areas there are restrictions on access for removal lorries, which are only permitted entry to certain zones between 8 and 11 in the morning.

Narrow stairwells and lifts.

This can indeed be the factor that makes a move more complex and requires a greater number of operatives. It tends to occur in older buildings where the lifts are small — with a capacity of just 2 to 4 people — or where the stairwells are excessively narrow.

In summary, we can estimate that the price for a move in Fuerteventura ranges from approximately 30 to 40 euros per m³ of furniture to be transported. To obtain the exact price for your move, our team will visit your home to assess the work required, at no cost and with no obligation.

Moving companies in Fuerteventura carry out moves on the date requested by the client.

However, after 15 years of experience we have found that most of the services requested tend to fall on Fridays and Saturdays, and the days near the end of the month.

There is also a high-demand season in the sector, running from May to August. That is why, taking all this into account, we recommend our clients to book their services in advance.

The recommended estimated booking times are as follows.

Moves in the last and first week of the month:

If you prefer to move at the beginning or end of the month, it would be advisable to set the date at least 20 days in advance to ensure the availability of the moving company booked.

Moves between the 10th and the 20th of each month:

If you plan to move between the 10th and the 20th of the chosen month, the recommendation is to book at least 7-10 days in advance, as availability is greater during this period.

Weekend jobs:

Note that these days tend to concentrate a larger number of booking requests; once you have received the quote and decided to book your move with Horizont Atlantic, it is advisable to communicate this intention to reserve the day. Ideally this confirmation should be made at least 1-3 weeks in advance.

Also bear in mind that weekend services cost 25% more than on weekdays.
