Shipping to Hanover (Hannover)
Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, sits at the crossroads of Germany's main north-south and east-west routes, which makes it a natural distribution point for the north. It is famous for Hannover Messe, the world's largest industrial trade fair.
Choose Hanover for consignees in Hildesheim, Celle, Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and the Hanover region. The cargo travels inland from a North Sea port; collection at the Hanover destination avoids a separate domestic delivery from the coast.
Hanover is a good choice for consignees across Lower Saxony because the A2 and A7 motorways cross here. Volkswagen in Wolfsburg and the automotive suppliers around Hanover mean that commercial shipments of parts and tooling are common. For household goods, bring your passport, registration certificate and the inventory to customs.
During Hannover Messe in April, hotels and trucks are in short supply, so plan collection outside fair weeks if possible. The city's large green spaces and lakes make it a popular place for families relocating to northern Germany.
