UK to Mauritius Removal Prices
UK to Mauritius removal prices typically range from £1,800 to £6,500+, depending on the volume of your shipment, the service type you choose, and your collection postcode. Move To Mauritius works with vetted international removal specialists to get you a competitive, itemised quote, fast.
What Affects the Cost of Moving from the UK to Mauritius?
No two moves are the same, and several factors push prices up or down:
- Volume and weight: A studio flat move costs far less than a full family home. Most removals are priced per cubic metre.
- Shared container (LCL) vs. full container (FCL): Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping suits smaller moves and is priced by volume. A full 20ft or 40ft container is more cost-effective once your load exceeds roughly 15 cubic metres.
- Port of departure: Most UK to Mauritius shipments leave from Felixstowe, Southampton, or Tilbury. Your distance to the port affects the collection charge.
- Packing service: Professional packing adds cost but protects your belongings across a 20 to 25 day sea voyage.
- Insurance: Marine transit insurance is strongly recommended and is typically calculated as a percentage of your declared goods value.
- Customs clearance and delivery in Mauritius: Port Louis handling, customs duties, and last-mile delivery to your Mauritian address all form part of the total landed cost.
What Does a Typical UK to Mauritius Removal Cost?
Here is a rough guide to help you budget:
| Move Size | Service | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed flat (15 cbm) | LCL shared container | £1,800 to £2,800 |
| 2-3 bed house (25-35 cbm) | 20ft FCL | £3,200 to £4,800 |
| 4+ bed house (50+ cbm) | 40ft FCL | £4,800 to £6,500+ |
These figures are indicative. Fuel surcharges, seasonal demand, and current freight rates all influence final pricing. The only way to get an accurate figure is a proper survey and quote.
Are There Hidden Costs to Watch Out For?
Yes. Some removal companies quote a low headline price and add costs later. Always confirm that your quote includes:
- Origin collection and packing
- Export documentation
- Sea freight
- Destination port handling and customs clearance
- Delivery to your Mauritius address
- Marine insurance (or confirm it is optional)
Move To Mauritius only connects you with reputable, accredited movers who provide fully transparent, itemised quotes with no nasty surprises.
Do I Pay Customs Duty on My Belongings?
Mauritius allows qualifying residents to import used personal and household effects with duty relief, provided the goods have been owned and used for at least 12 months. New or commercial goods are treated differently. For a detailed breakdown of Mauritius customs rules, visit the in-depth guide on mauritius-life.com.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from the UK to Mauritius take?+
Sea freight from the UK to Mauritius typically takes 20 to 28 days depending on the shipping line and any transhipment ports. Air freight is faster but significantly more expensive and is usually only practical for small, urgent consignments.
Is a shared container (LCL) or full container (FCL) cheaper for my move?+
For moves under approximately 15 cubic metres, LCL shared container shipping is usually cheaper. Above that volume, a full 20ft container often works out more cost-effective per cubic metre and gives you greater control over your delivery schedule.
Can I ship my car to Mauritius alongside my household goods?+
Yes, vehicles can be shipped in a container alongside household goods or on a Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) service. Import duty on vehicles in Mauritius can be substantial, so it is worth getting a customs duty estimate before committing.
How far in advance should I book my UK to Mauritius removal?+
We recommend booking at least 8 to 12 weeks before your planned departure date. Container space on this route fills quickly, and booking early also gives you time to sort customs paperwork and packing without rushing.
Does Move To Mauritius handle the full move from door to door?+
Yes. Through our network of vetted removal partners, we can arrange a fully managed door-to-door service covering collection anywhere in the UK, packing, sea freight, Mauritius customs clearance, and delivery to your new address.
