Planning a long-distance move from London
Distance changes everything: driver time, fuel, return trip and the risk of a late arrival. This page helps you prepare a long-distance request; nothing here promises a particular destination is served.
How distance changes the job
A long route adds travel time on top of loading and unloading, and the driver may need to return empty. Ask whether the quote includes the return, and whether the time is hourly or fixed for the route.
- Return journey included or not
- Hourly or fixed pricing
- Planned arrival window
Confirm the destination
Man With Van connects customers with independent drivers for local pickup in London and 20 UK cities. Delivery elsewhere in the UK can be requested; include both addresses and the requested date so route availability can be checked.
Plan the drive and the day
Allow for breaks, traffic and building access at the far end. Have someone at the destination to receive the load, with keys and parking arranged.
Keep valuables with you
Carry documents, jewellery and cash yourself rather than in the van.
Frequently asked questions
