International Freight to Austria
Our genuine next-day delivery services meet the most exacting groupage requirements, and our economy groupage deliveries provide 48 hour / 2-day services as a cheaper alternative.
We carry business / commercial cargo only UK to/from Austria. For personal goods, house moves and car shipping we recommend our partners Anglo Pacific
Many of our competitors only offer pallet delivery to Austria via Vienna, but our additional depots in the North and South of Austria give us great coverage for haulage to ALL areas of Austria. Austrian cargo shipments are collected from all over Great Britain and sent by van or truck via Eurotunnel or Dover to our local depots in Linz, Graz and Vienna. This provides ease of access to all 9 of the federal states (or Bundeslander) – namely Burgenland, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Vienna, Carinthia, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, and Vorarlberg.
The states of Vienna, Lower Austria and Upper Austria are the most densely populated, and generate most haulage to and from Austrian industry and commerce; together with the most agricultural state of Burgenland, they lie in the easily accessible valley of the River Danube. Conversely, the other 5 states are in the Alps, and thus are relatively unfavourable to heavy industry and long-distance trade. Having said that, we are happy to deliver right across Austria – not just the capital Vienna, but all other main cities and towns including Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Villach, Wels, Sankt Polten, Dornbirn, Wiener Neustadt, Steyr, Feldkirch, Bregenz, Klosterneuburg, Leonding, Baden, Wolfsberg, Leoben, Krems, and others.
Professional Cargo Shipping To Austria
Barrington Freight is an independent, experienced and professional freight forwarder to Republik Osterreich, as the Austrians would say in their native tongue (a Bavarian dialect of German). Our cheap international shipping rates ensure your road freight to Austria is unbeatably cost-effective, whilst maintaining those exacting levels of customer service you would expect from our friendly and knowledgeable family-run business. Printers pallets, plastic pallets, wooden pallets, UK / euro export pallets, stretch wrapped or shrink-wrapped, stackable or non-stackable pallets/skids/stillages/cages, 120 x 100 and 120 x 80-centimetre base pallets, we handle them all.
The 18 Austrian autobahns (Bundesautobahnen) have a total length of 1,720 km and straddle the entire country; their general speed limit is 130 km/hour, and together with many useful Alpine tunnels they ensure even our biggest trucks can speed to almost any part of the country. If necessary, our local delivery partners can help with further logistics; our next day services and 48 hour / 2-day services are a cost-efficient alternative to our flagship express services by dedicated courier van to and from Europe.
Austria is famous for its many notable classical composers, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Strauss and Franz Schubert; but ask us about our competitive pallet delivery services to bring even more music to your ears.

Shipping to Austria from the UK
Our road freight services are designed to run smoothly to all parts of Western and Central Europe, including Austria. This may be all you want from a professionally run freight forwarding firm when sending commercial goods to clients in the country, of course. That said, you should also be aware that, here at Barrington Freight, we can also act on your behalf as customs clearance agents. By asking us to complete your online exportation declarations to HMRC and taking care of your EU customs paperwork, your consignments to Austria shouldn’t be needlessly held up as they enter the customs union in France, the Netherlands or Belgium.
Please note that our customs clearance work is not outsourced. We do everything in-house within the same operations team that runs the logistical side of our road freight services. This way, whether you opt for a groupage rate, an FCL shipment or an express courier service to Austria, you’ll be confident that documentation errors won’t potentially lead to fines or goods being impounded. Combining our freight forwarding savvy with our customs clearance prowess can make a big difference to the service you offer your Austrian clients and it often works out to be more cost-effective, too.
Ship Urgent Deliveries To Austria With Express Freight Forwarding
Do you need to deliver something the next day from the UK to Austria? We can assist you with the provision of a dedicated van for speedy delivery. With delivery times of 20-28 hours, we can collect early day 1 for delivery day 2. If you have express freight to Austria we are here to help.
Urgent exports/imports to and from Austria are one of our specialities; our fleet of dedicated road freight vans across Europe provides courier express services for fragile, secure and time-sensitive cargo from the UK to Austria or back. We can provide timed pick-up and drop-off from your premises, two-man teams, specialist handling services, Escort / Sprinter / Luton vans, even hiab crane lorries – so your critical Austrian business-to-business delivery is accomplished in the shortest possible time – in fact, just the time it takes to drive directly there (via Eurotunnel or ferry)!

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs. Fantastic experience working with Simon and his team, will continue to engage them for the foreseeable future. Thanks again Simon and the BF team!
