Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Madrid to Bilbao removal cost?
Man and van from €340. Full removal with luton van and two crew from €700. All tolls on the A-1 are included in the fixed price. We confirm the final figure before you book.
How long does Madrid to Bilbao take?
The drive is 4–4.5 hours via the A-1. We depart Madrid at 7am and typically arrive in Bilbao by 11:30am–noon. Unloading a standard one-bed flat takes 2–3 hours, so most clients are settled by early afternoon.
Can you access Bilbao's Casco Viejo and Indautxu?
Yes, with planning. The Casco Viejo has weight restrictions on several bridges — we use the correct access routes and coordinate with Bilbao's traffic authority when needed. Indautxu and Gran Vía have standard loading bays. We always confirm access details 48 hours before the move.
Do you provide packing for Madrid to Bilbao moves?
Yes, full packing service available. For Bilbao moves, we recommend at minimum having your fragile and breakable items professionally wrapped — the A-1 through Burgos passes through some exposed terrain and road conditions can be variable, especially in winter.
