Algarve Removals & Home Moves Within Portugal

Trusted by Families Across the Algarve for Over 30 Years.

Moving home within Portugal deserves the same care and attention as any long-distance move. We handle every aspect of your home removal, from careful packing to safe delivery, so you can focus on settling in.

Moving House in Portugal Comes With Its Own Challenges

Most people assume Algarve removals are simple. In reality, moving a full household across the region takes a lot more planning than most expect. Narrow village roads, apartment buildings without lifts, fragile items that need specialist wrapping, and timing everything around your key dates. It all adds up quickly.

Finding a removals company you can actually trust with your belongings is harder than it should be. A lot of people end up using a man with a van and hope for the best. Others spend weeks trying to coordinate the whole thing themselves, only to arrive at their new home exhausted with something broken.

There is a better way.

Professional Algarve Removals, Done Properly

AIM Removals & Storage is based in Lagos and has been carrying out home removals across the Algarve and wider Portugal for over 30 years. We move families between towns, between regions, and anywhere in between, with a team that handles your belongings as carefully as their own.

Our home removal service covers the full length of Portugal, with particular expertise across the Algarve. Lagos, Albufeira, Portimão, Faro, Tavira, and beyond.

We also offer:

Professional Packing Service

Our team wraps, packs and creates a detailed inventory of every item before anything moves. You know exactly what has been packed and where it is going.

Specialist Crating

For antiques, large mirrors, artwork and fragile items, we offer specialist crating to make sure your most valuable belongings are properly protected throughout the move.

Storage in Lagos

If your move-in date does not line up with your move-out date, we can arrange short or long-term storage at our secure facility in Lagos. Your belongings stay with the same team throughout.

Every move is different. We carry out a pre-move survey before we quote, so we understand exactly what is involved. No rough estimates. No surprises on the day.

Why Families Across the Algarve Choose AIM

We are not a national call centre with a Portugal postcode. We live and work here.

Our team is based at our depot in Lagos, and most of our clients are people who already know the Algarve. Expats who have put down roots, families upgrading to a bigger property, and retirees downsizing to something more manageable.

They chose AIM because we understand the region in a way that a company parachuted in from outside simply cannot.

Find out what our clients thought of our removal services.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to the team who handled my move in December 2025. They were all extremely cheerful, supportive, and professional during what was a very stressful time for me, and they made the entire end-to-end process so much easier. The service I received was genuinely excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend your company to friends both in Portugal and the UK. Thanks again for all your help.

I just wanted to say thank you to Mike and the amazing team who moved us (from Alvor to Alvor!) on Saturday 21st December. It was such a slick job, and the team worked so well together and really looked out for each other. Super fast and super professional, fabulous! Thank you again.

Our dearest friend Michael and your team of magicians, you were right and not for the first time I was wrong !! We have found absolutely everything with not a single cuff link or hair pin going astray!! This (we trust) will be the last time Trish and I undertake a house move and your management of this one cannot possibly be topped! There will be no comparisons. Nothing damaged, the Grandfather clock worked without complaint and even my “doubting Thomas” approach, necessitated me putting on “sackcloth and to be honest I’m more than happy with that ! Michael you and your team will never be surpassed! God speed and love 🧡 to you all!

I had a wonderful experience from AIM Removals. From the quotation walk-through to the end delivery, the service has been very professional. Response time from the office was quick which gave enormous peace of mind. The delivery team arrived on time both for the delivery and drop-off and listened to our requests and moved our household items with care.
I would definately recommend AIM to anyone needing this service

Thanks for all your help, it's been a great experience working with AIM.

We recently relocated from a second floor flat in Albufeira to a town house in Burgau employing AIM’s Removals to do the removals on the 28th June 2024. The help from your self before the removal and the team of Gareth and Janine on the day was second to none. I cannot praise your whole operation highly enough regards attention to detail from start to finish. I hopefully will not be moving again but if I do I know who I will be using. A BIG THANK YOU AGAIN.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you carry out removals across the whole of Portugal, or just the Algarve?

Our base is in Lagos in the Algarve, but we carry out home removals across Portugal. If you are moving between regions, say from the Algarve to Lisbon or Porto, get in touch and we will let you know exactly what is involved.

Can you store my belongings if my move-in date does not line up with my move-out date?

Yes. We offer short and long-term storage at our secure facility in Lagos. It is a practical option for anyone bridging a gap between properties, and it means your belongings stay with the same team throughout.

Do you offer a packing service, or do I need to pack myself?

We offer a full professional packing service, including export wrapping and a detailed inventory of every item. If you have valuable or fragile items such as antiques, large mirrors or artwork, we can also arrange specialist crating. If you prefer to do your own packing, we are happy to provide materials and guidance.

How far in advance should I book?

For most moves within the Algarve, we recommend getting in touch at least four to six weeks before your planned moving date. For larger moves or busier periods, earlier is always better. Contact us and we will let you know what availability looks like.

Can you help if I am also moving back to the UK?

Yes. Through our sister company Roy Trevor Removals, we handle moves from Portugal back to the UK, too. It is the same trusted team at both ends of the journey.
