Why book artwork courier to Genoa
Artwork doesn't belong on a pallet, in a hub, or in a shared trailer. A dedicated van keeps it flat, upright and untouched from studio to gallery.
From a mainland-UK collection point to Genoa in Italy is roughly 799 miles including the Channel crossing. In a dedicated Taylors van it's usually a 2-day door-to-door job, with driver rest breaks scheduled to stay legal under EU tachograph rules. No hub, no shared load, no re-sort — just a van, a driver, and your consignment.

Is this a van service — not sea freight or Royal Mail?
Correct. Taylors is a dedicated-van courier — one UK-registered van, one named driver, straight through to Genoa. No sea freight, no postal network, no shared pallets, no depot handling.
Are ferry, tolls and customs paperwork included in a Genoa quote?
Yes. Every UK → Genoa quote includes the Dover–Calais ferry or Eurotunnel crossing, French / EU road tolls, environmental zone stickers (Crit'Air, Umweltplakette etc.), driver overnight allowance and the customs admin fee. The price you see is the price you pay.
What paperwork do I need for Italy?
Commercial goods need a commercial invoice, packing list and EORI number (yours or ours). Personal effects need a signed inventory. Our ops team walks you through the exact format after booking — standard post-Brexit paperwork that rarely delays transit when prepared in advance.
Is the Genoa delivery tracked and insured?
Yes. Status updates from UK pickup through to Genoa delivery, photo proof of collection and delivery, and driver goods-in-transit cover normally up to £5,000. Higher declared values can be arranged before dispatch.
Do you handle heavy or two-man items to Genoa?
Yes. Two-man crews and Luton-with-tail-lift options are available for items over 40 kg or awkward pieces going to Genoa. Mention it in the quote form or on WhatsApp and we'll price the correct van and crew.
