Choosing a man and van app: what to compare
Rather than rank brands, this checklist lets you compare any booking service on the points that actually decide whether a move goes well.
Price you can read
Check whether the price shown is the whole price or a starting rate. Look at the minimum time, how extra time is charged and whether fuel, parking and road charges are included. Ask what is fixed and what is hourly.
The vehicle and the people
A good listing tells you the van category, how many people will come and what they will do. If loading help is vague, ask in writing before you pay.
- Van category named
- Crew and tasks stated
- Equipment confirmed, not assumed
Protection and paperwork
Ask what cover applies to your goods and who provides it. Do not accept a general claim; ask for the document. Check how changes, cancellations and complaints work.
Reviews and records
Read recent reviews with a critical eye and check they are linked to a real profile. Beware of pages that show glowing quotes with no source.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cheapest option safest?
Not necessarily. A low rate can mean an extra trip or missing help. Compare the whole job.
What should I screenshot?
The quote, the vehicle and crew details and any agreed time window.
