Compare Mover guide
Compare man and van quotes
A man and van service can suit smaller moves and flexible transport jobs. Giving the right information helps providers estimate the vehicle, labour and time required.
How many movers do you need?
Some jobs need one person and a van, while stairs, heavy furniture or a larger volume may need two or more movers. Describe the items and access clearly.
Hourly or fixed-price quotes
Providers may quote by time or offer a fixed price depending on the move. Check minimum booking periods, travel charges and what happens if the job takes longer than expected.
Vehicle size matters
A small van may require multiple trips, while a larger vehicle can reduce trips but may cost more. The best option depends on volume, access and distance.
Give both addresses
Postcodes, floors, lift access, parking and approximate walking distance from the vehicle to the property can materially affect the job.
