Areas of Gran Canaria where we work

We cover the whole island: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Vegueta, Triana, Mesa y López, La Isleta), Telde, Arucas, Santa Lucía de Tirajana and Vecindario, San Bartolomé de Tirajana and the tourist area of Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, as well as the interior (Santa Brígida, San Mateo). We handle access in the historic centre, buildings without a lift and developments in the south with loading equipment and a furniture hoist when needed.

Removals in Las Palmas – mainland Spain and customs (REF)

As with the rest of the Canary Islands, shipments to/from mainland Spain travel by sea and require a DUA (customs declaration), because the islands are outside the common VAT territory and are governed by the REF (Canary Islands Special Tax Regime, with IGIC and AIEM instead of VAT). The Port of La Luz, given its size and frequency of shipping lines, usually offers good transit times.

  Change-of-residence exemption

Your used personal belongings may be exempt from IGIC and AIEM if you meet the requirements:

  • 12 months of prior residence outside the destination territory.
  • Used goods for domestic use, not for resale.
  • Imported within the 12 months following the move.
  • Not sold or transferred for 12 months.
101 · VAT303 · IGICC01 · exemption

We handle the DUA and all the paperwork for you.

What affects the price of a removal in Gran Canaria?

FactorHow it affects the price
Volume (m³)The cubic metre is the reference unit: the greater the volume, the more space needed in the lorry or container.
AccessibilityFloor and lift, carrying distance, the pedestrian streets of Vegueta and Triana, buildings without a lift in La Isleta or developments in the south (Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés). Sometimes a furniture hoist or public road occupation permit is needed.
Does it cross the sea?A local removal within the island is not the same as an inter-island move or one to/from the mainland: the sea crossing via the Port of La Luz and REF customs clearance add time and management to the quote.
Extra servicesFull packing, dismantling/assembly, furniture storage, car transport, special items (piano, artwork).

Be wary of unrealistically low prices: they either hide extra charges later or cut corners on packing and insurance. We spell out exactly what each item includes and give it to you in writing. If you'd like indicative prices by area, see our guide to removal prices in Las Palmas by area.

What is the process of a removal in Gran Canaria, step by step?

Every removal follows an orderly process, from the initial assessment through to delivery and assembly at your new home. Here's how we work, step by step, to make your move in Gran Canaria smooth and free of surprises:

  1. 1

    Prior assessment and volume survey

    We visit your home —in person or by video call— to measure the actual volume, check access at both the origin and destination (historic centre, tourist south, interior) and plan the move. An accurate assessment is the basis for a quote with no surprises.

  2. 2

    Fixed quote in writing

    You receive a detailed, fixed quote, with no hidden costs: what you agree to is what you pay.

  3. 3

    Professional packing and loading at origin

    Our team packs your belongings using professional materials and loads at origin with our own staff. If you need it, we have our own furniture storage for bridging periods.

  4. 4

    Transport to your new home

    We move your furniture with our own vehicles and staff. For inter-island removals or those to/from the mainland, we handle shipping via the Port of La Luz and customs clearance.

  5. 5

    Delivery, assembly and setup

    At the destination we unload, assemble the furniture and place everything where you need it, leaving your new home ready to live in.

Las empresas de mudanzas Las Palmas estamos sujetas a la realización de las mudanzas en las fecha que el cliente nos solicite. Ahora bien tras 15 años de experiencia hemos podido comprobar que la mayoría de los servicios que nos solicitan a nivel local suelen coincidir los viernes y sábados, y los días próximos a final de mes.

Por otro lado también en el sector existe una época o temporada de alta demanda. Que comprende desde Mayo hasta Agosto. Es por ello por lo que teniendo en cuenta todo esto recomendamos a nuestros clientes que los servicios de mudanzas Las Palmas sean contratados con antelación sobre todo si la fecha de la mudanza es entre estos meses de «temporada alta»

De esta manera la sensación de tener todo organizado con antelación y bajo control permitirá que el proceso de mudanza sea más llevadero y menos estresante.

Como recomendación podemos estimar los plazos de reserva siguientes.

Servicios de mudanzas la última y primera semana del mes:

Si tienes pensado realizar una mudanza a principios o final de mes. Sería recomendable que la fecha de la mudanzas se concretase con al menos 10 días de antelación de esta manera se asegurara la disponibilidad de la empresa de mudanzas contratada.

En el caso que se tenga previsto realizar la mudanza entre el 10 y el 20 del mes elegido, se recomienda reservar con 7-10 días de antelación, siendo este rango de fechas el de mayor disponibilidad en condiciones normales.

Trabajos durante el fin de semana:

En la mayoría de los servicios la preferencia de nuestros clientes es realizar los servicios de mudanzas Las Palmas durante los fines de semana una vez recibido el presupuesto y tomada la decisión de contratar su mudanza en Las Palmas con Horizont Atlantic será conveniente comunicar esta intención y proceder con la reserva del día.

Cabe destacar que estos plazos son estimados y dependerá de la demanda puntual.

In most cases it will not be necessary to apply for a road-occupation permit, as it is far simpler to find an available parking space on the day of the move.

However, if either the origin or destination street where the Las Palmas removal service is to take place is pedestrianised, it will be necessary to apply for a road-occupation permit from the relevant Town Hall. This must be done well in advance, as processing times can take up to 15 days depending on the municipality.

Our company, based in Las Palmas, is increasingly finding among our clients people with long working hours and family commitments that leave them no time for labour-intensive tasks such as packing for a move. For this reason, we offer additional services to make your move as easy as possible.

Moving box and packing materials supply service: We deliver boxes in a variety of sizes along with all necessary packing materials to your home at least 15 days before your move.

Packing service: We take care of packing all your belongings in an orderly, efficient and secure manner using boxes of different sizes. We also offer the option for clients to pack their own clothing themselves if hygiene is a priority and they prefer their garments not to be handled by third parties.

Common sense tells us we should request quotes from at least three or four removal companies in Las Palmas that appear at the top of the search engine results.

However, we should be wary of web portals that advertise non-specialist companies offering discounts of up to 60% right from the start.  The approach of these companies is to subcontract all services to bogus self-employed workers with no accountability or experience whatsoever. As a result, quality suffers almost as much as the price.

Below you will find some tips to help you identify a professional removal company in Las Palmas.

Transparent website: Companies with a solid track record in the industry have extensive websites, rich in both content and images, and typically showcase photos of previously completed jobs.

Top positions in search engine results: Companies that appear in the organic search results below the paid ads at the top have earned their position through years of experience and tend to have better ratings on review platforms. You can also find removal companies in Las Palmas by searching on Google Maps — a great tool for locating moving companies near your current location.

A family member or friend has used them before: This is perhaps the most reliable indicator of a professional company. If a family member or friend recommends a removal company, it is because they were satisfied with the work carried out. Trust those recommendations.

In general, the cost of a local move in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is estimated at between 35 and 65 euros per cubic metre of furniture. This means that the total price for a move can range from 300 to 1,850 euros. To give you the most accurate quote possible, our team will carry out an in-home assessment of your belongings.

At our removals company in Las Palmas, we offer individual storage unit rentals and furniture storage in maritime containers, so you can keep your belongings safe for as long as you need.

Request a quote from our team, letting them know that the final destination of your move is our warehouse.

This ensures that all items being transported are packed in a specific way suited to storage conditions.

For example, mattresses must be wrapped in special plastic protective covers so they do not absorb ambient moisture or pick up any dirt that may be present on the floor of the storage unit or warehouse.

Our Las Palmas removal services are structured around two payments:

First payment or deposit: This initial payment is made by bank transfer and serves as confirmation of your acceptance of the previously sent quote. Once this payment is received, your moving date is firmly reserved. If you also require packing materials, these can be delivered to you once the payment has been completed.

Second payment: This final payment is made on moving day at the destination address. We now offer the option of bringing a card reader to your home, allowing you to pay by card. If you would like to pay by card, please let our logistics team know in advance so they can bring the POS terminal on the day of the move.

This is a very important question — and the answer may surprise you, as what seems cheaper at first glance often is not. To help our readers understand, let us draw a distinction between fragile items (fine glassware, kitchenware, electronic devices and decorative objects) and non-fragile items (bedding, clothing, books, etc.).

The explanation is straightforward: whenever a move takes place, the removal company must guarantee the condition of all items inside the boxes upon delivery. That is why the packing of fragile items is always carried out by the removal company itself — so it can ensure the packing was done correctly.

When it comes to non-fragile items (clothing, books, etc.), Horizont Atlantic leaves the decision entirely in the hands of the customer as to who will handle the packing.
