Our story

CompareMover was started by people who have spent many years working in the removals industry. We have seen what happens on both sides of the van. A customer searches on Google, calls the first company that comes up, and takes whatever price they are given. Often they pay more than they needed to, because they had nothing to compare it with. Meanwhile, good local companies with fair prices and careful crews are hard to find among the adverts.

We wanted to fix that. Not with another long list of companies, but with a simple way to see what a fair price looks like, from companies we have actually looked at.

What we do differently

Instead of one phone call to one company, you tell us about your move once. We then work with up to 5 removal companies that cover your area.

  1. We check the companies. We look at their reviews and their company details, and we speak with them, so you are not starting from nothing.
  2. We share your details. Only with up to 5 vetted companies matched to your move, so they know what it involves.
  3. They quote you directly. Removal companies contact you by email or phone with an accurate quotation based on your move, not a guess.
  4. You compare and choose. Up to 5 quotes side by side, with no obligation to book any of them.

Why comparing matters

Prices for the same move can vary a lot from company to company. Comparing up to 5 quotes shows you the fair price range for your move, so you can spot a quote that is too high, and one that is suspiciously low. It also shows you who is easy to deal with, which matters on moving day.

What we stand for

  • Fairness. You get a straight comparison, and companies cannot pay to hide what customers think of them.
  • Honesty. Any price we show is a guide. Your quotes are what count.
  • Respect for your details. Your details go only to up to 5 vetted companies matched to your move, and we never sell them to unrelated companies.
  • Plain English. Our moving guides explain costs, insurance and what to expect, without the jargon.

Where we work

We cover the boroughs of London, the boroughs and districts of Surrey, the home counties and towns and cities across the rest of the UK.

For removal companies

If you run a removal company and would like to receive customer requests in your area, we would like to hear from you. Removal companies need to show insurance, real company details, a working phone number and email, and a good record with customers. See how we verify removal companies and join our network.

Our guides

Our moving guides are written and checked by the CompareMover team. Read our editorial policy.

How we are paid

Our service is free for customers. We are paid by removal companies that join our network. Removal companies cannot pay to change what we say in our guides or to hide customer reviews.
