A man-and-van quote can be a third the price of a full removals firm — or it can be twice the price by the end of the day. Here's how to tell which you're being quoted.
Where man-and-van wins
- Studio and 1-bed flats
- Single-item moves (sofa, fridge, bed)
- Part-loads to/from storage
- Distances under 30 miles
Where a full firm wins
- 2+ bed properties
- Stairs, lifts, complex access
- Specialist items
- When you don't want to lift anything
- When insurance matters
Hidden costs of cheap man-and-van
- Hourly rate creep (lifts add hours)
- No insurance
- Single van so no overflow
- Often no help loading
