Moving freight to and from Ibiza Spain

There are a number of companies in the U.K. that transport freight and haulage to and from all over the Balearic Islands, including Ibiza. Companies have three primary ways to move freight to and from the island, by air in planes, on land in lorries and ferried across the sea, either from the mainland on the lorries or direct from a port in the U.K.

The port of Ibiza, which deals with the majority of the islands freight, is located in the south east of the island in the islands capital, Ibiza Town. The island is only eighty nautical miles from the mainland of Spain, with the closest of the main land ports being Valencia. There are routes to and from Barcelona, Valencia on the mainland as well as Palma in Mallorca.

Flying freight to Ibiza is a lot quicker than by ferry, however there are a lot more weight restrictions, so it is more limited in what can be flown. The freight flies into the main airport on the island before being put through customs. All major U.K. airports have a freight service that fly to Ibiza, with Heathrow and Gatwick being the busiest, however East Midlands and Newcastle are also busy.

The best way to find out about the cost of moving the articles is through direct quotes with freight companies themselves, all that is needed the majority of the time is the pick-up and drop off post code, as well as the weight of the cargo in kilograms and its size in centimetres. It is also important to specify the type of freight being moved as some companies will only deal with certain types of items. If in Ibiza on business, you might also be interested in Ibiza car hire opportunities. Need to send freight to Ibiza?
