A clear next step

Three steps to a considered quote.

A request helps bring your moving details together. Your booking is only confirmed after the required steps are complete.

01

Tell Us About Your Move

Enter the collection and delivery addresses, your preferred date and the items to transport. Add stairs, lift access, parking information and the loading help you need.

02

Review the Quote and Booking Details

Check the proposed vehicle, included services, price and collection arrangements. A quote request does not reserve a driver. For driver quotes, your booking is confirmed after driver acceptance and the required payment or payment arrangement is completed; check your booking’s confirmation status.

03

Confirm and Prepare for Collection

Pack and label your boxes, prepare the items and arrange access at both addresses. Keep your booking details available and let the team know if anything changes.

The base charge excludes any agreed extras. Check your quote for additional labour, stairs, parking and road charges, and ask whether VAT applies. Confirm included time, any billing increments, when chargeable time starts and ends, and waiting or overtime arrangements before booking.

Before moving day

How Requests Are Matched to Drivers

Requests are matched by where your pickup is and what kind of request you make, so the rules are worth knowing before you submit.

Instant and bid requests

Instant quotations look for eligible drivers within 5 miles of the pickup address, and bid requests within 10 miles. The search area is not expanded automatically. Only when no eligible local driver exists can a company offer be made; that offer is paid upfront and then assigned to a driver by an admin.

Before you request a quote

Have both addresses, a rough inventory and the access details ready. A request does not reserve a driver, and the guides below cover your specific kind of move.

Frequently Asked Questions About Man With Van Hire

Clear details help you decide what to request and what to confirm before booking.

How much does a man with van cost?

+

There are two separate quote methods. Instant quotation guidance starts from £35/hour and varies by van size. Driver Bidding starts from £15/hour* only when you choose Bidding; it is not an Instant price or a guaranteed total. The estimate uses a 2-hour minimum. Review the actual offer and agreed work before accepting.

View moving prices

Will the driver help with loading and unloading?

+

Specify the assistance you need when requesting your move. Check the confirmed booking for the agreed loading service and number of helpers before collection.

Explore service areas

Is my booking confirmed when I request a quote?

+

No. A quote request does not reserve a driver. Check your booking status after driver acceptance and completion of the required payment arrangements.

Is there a minimum booking?

+

The estimate calculation uses a 2-hour minimum for hourly guidance. This is a base calculation, not a complete job total; check any fixed quote and agreed extras separately.

What additional charges should I check?

+

Ask whether additional labour, waiting, stairs, extra stops, parking, road charges or VAT apply. Confirm included time and any billing increments in the quote rather than assuming the headline hourly rate covers everything.

Can I change or cancel my request?

+

If your plans change, use your account and booking messages to explain the revised details promptly. Ask support for the applicable cancellation and refund terms before confirming; this page does not promise a free cancellation or refund.

Booking terms information

What is a man with van service?

+

A man with van service provides a vehicle and driver to transport belongings, furniture or other agreed items. Loading assistance, extra movers and packing services depend on the booking, so check what is included before confirming.

Can I book a man with van in London?

+

Yes. Man With Van connects customers with independent drivers for local pickup, moving and delivery in London. Request a quote to check availability for your route and date.

Can I book furniture or a single item for delivery?

+

You can request transport for individual items. Include dimensions, approximate weight and access at both addresses so vehicle suitability and handling can be assessed.

Which van size should I choose?

+

Base the choice on item dimensions, total load and weight. List your furniture and boxes, measure bulky pieces and ask for guidance if you are unsure about capacity.

Can I request a same-day move?

+

Check availability for your addresses and preferred collection time. A same-day request is subject to suitable driver and vehicle availability and is only confirmed once accepted.

What should I prepare before collection?

+

Pack loose items securely, label boxes and prepare access at both addresses. Agree parking arrangements, check lift restrictions and tell the team about changes to the inventory or access.
