Compare Man and Van Prices Across the UK

Compare Vetted Man and Van Services Across the UK

Get Instant Fixed Quotes from Vetted Local Movers in 60 Seconds

We're not a single moving company. We're a technology platform that connects you with pre-vetted, licensed drivers across 16+ UK cities — from London and Manchester to Birmingham and Edinburgh. Our Visual Van Size Calculator shows you exactly which vehicle you need (Luton, Transit, or SWB) based on your actual furniture, so you don't pay for empty space.

Enter your items, get instant fixed quotes from multiple local movers, compare reviews and insurance, then book. No phone tag. No hidden fees.

Why an Aggregator Beats Calling One Company

When you search "man and van near me," you usually get a single operator's quote — with no way to verify if it's fair or if they have availability. Here's what changes when you use a comparison platform:

Traditional Approach:

• Call 5–7 companies individually
• Wait hours for callbacks
• Guess van size (often pay for Luton when Transit would work)
• No price transparency

Our Platform:

• One form, multiple vetted quotes in real time
• Visual load calculator (drag your sofa, wardrobe, boxes into a 3D van)
• Odoo ERP tracks your booking from quote to delivery
• Fixed price locked in — no "extra stairs" surprises on moving day

Real example: A 2-bed flat move in South London. Manual calls: £180–£320 range, 3-hour wait. Our calculator: £215 fixed quote from a 4.8★ driver, booked in 4 minutes.

How We Vet Drivers (and Keep Prices Honest)

Every operator in our network passes a three-step check before they can accept bookings:

1. Licensing & Insurance Verification
   Goods in Transit insurance (minimum £10k), valid hire-and-reward license, MOT records.
2. Equipment Standards
   We require tail-lift vans for heavy items, trolleys, and furniture blankets. No unequipped "bloke with a Sprinter."
3. Performance Monitoring via Odoo
   Our ERP logs every job: on-time rate, damage claims, customer ratings. Drivers below 4.5★ or with 2+ late arrivals get suspended until reviewed.

This isn't a marketplace where anyone can sign up. It's a curated network — think of it as the difference between Uber (anyone) and Uber Black (vetted professionals).

The Visual Van Size Calculator: Why It Matters

Most customers overpay because they don't know the difference between van types:

Our calculator uses your furniture dimensions (not rough guesses) to recommend the right size. You drag items into a 3D van view — when it's full, you see it. This prevents the common mistake: booking a Luton for a 1-bed flat because "better safe than sorry," then paying £280 instead of £190.

Coverage: London + Nationwide Network

We're based in London (operating here since 2015) but our platform covers:

• Greater London (all zones, including Oyster card boundaries)
• Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool
• Scotland: Edinburgh, Glasgow
• South: Brighton, Bristol, Southampton
• International: European routes via partner couriers (separate quote system)

Key difference from local-only firms: If you're moving from London to Manchester, you get quotes from both London-based and Manchester-based drivers. Whoever offers better value for a one-way trip wins your booking.

Booking Process (System-Powered)

1. Use Calculator → Enter postcode, list items (or use our template for "2-bed flat")
2. See Live Quotes → Drivers bid in real time; you see vehicle type, rating, insurance level
3. Lock Price → Choose driver, pay 35% deposit via Stripe (rest on completion)
4. Track Job → Our system sends you updates: driver en route, loading complete, delivery confirmed
5. Rate & Release Payment → You approve final payment only after inspecting your items

No surprise charges. If a driver tries to add fees (e.g., "your street is narrow"), our system flags it. We settle disputes using the original quote screenshot stored in Odoo.

What We Don't Do (Transparency Matters)

• We don't own vans. We're a tech platform. Think Airbnb for moves, not a hotel chain.
• We don't handle international customs. For EU moves, we connect you with licensed freight forwarders (different service tier).
• We don't store items long-term. Short-term storage (1–7 days) available through partner facilities; longer = you need a self-storage company.

This matters because many "man and van" sites promise everything, then subcontract or fail. We're clear: we excel at comparing and coordinating UK domestic moves. For complex scenarios (antiques, pianos, 4-bed houses), we filter to specialists.

Pricing: What You Actually Pay

Example breakdown for a 1-bed flat (London Zone 3 → Zone 2, 5 miles):

• Base van + driver (LWB Transit): £140
• Helper (if needed): +£50
• Packing materials (10 boxes, tape): +£25
• Stairs (ground floor both ends): £0
• Total: £215 (fixed, confirmed before booking)

What triggers extra costs?

• Parking permits (if you didn't arrange): +£20–40
• Assembly/disassembly beyond basics: +£15/item
• Waiting time (if you're not ready): +£30/hour after 15-min grace period

All extras are listed in your quote. Our drivers can't invent new fees on the day.

FAQ: The Questions Google Searchers Actually Ask

Q: How much does a man and van cost in London?
A: £120–£180 for a studio (SWB van, 2 hours), £200–£280 for a 2-bed flat (Luton, 4 hours). Our calculator gives you the exact price based on your items, not averages.

Q: Can I book same-day?
A: Yes, if drivers have availability. Use the "Urgent" filter in our platform. Expect 10–20% premium for same-day requests.

Q: What if my items don't fit?
A: The Visual Calculator shows 85–90% accuracy. If there's a mismatch, the driver contacts you before loading. You can upgrade van size on the spot (pay difference) or reschedule.

Q: Are your drivers insured?
A: Every driver carries Goods in Transit insurance (we verify certificates annually). Your items are covered up to the declared value (you specify this in the booking form).

Q: Do you move pianos / antiques / safes?
A: Only through specialist-approved drivers. The platform auto-filters these when you select "fragile/heavy items." Standard drivers aren't trained for these.

Why This Works Better Than DIY Comparisons

Time saved: You'd spend 2–3 hours calling companies, explaining your move repeatedly, waiting for quotes. Our form takes 5 minutes.

Price transparency: Drivers know they're competing. You see all quotes side-by-side, like flight comparison sites.

Accountability: Because jobs run through Odoo, drivers can't ghost you or deliver poor service without consequences (ratings, platform suspension).

Backup plans: If a driver cancels (rare but happens), our system auto-offers your booking to the next-best quote. You don't scramble to find a replacement.

We're not here to oversell. If your move is too complex for our platform (e.g., international antiques, 5-bed house to Scotland), we'll tell you upfront and recommend specialists. But for 90% of UK moves — flat relocations, small office moves, furniture delivery — this is the fastest, clearest way to compare and book.
