What moves the price
- Volume of items — more boxes and furniture take more hours to load and may need a bigger van.
- Time required for loading — a man with a van is booked by the hour, so a slow load or a long wait adds directly to the cost.
- Distance between locations — the hours spent driving between pickup and drop-off are charged in the same way as loading time.
- Access issues — no parking near the door means a longer walk to the van with every load, which adds to the time booked.

How to pay less
- Having everything packed, boxed and by the door before the van arrives cuts the hours you are charged for.
- Booking the right van size for the volume avoids paying for a larger van or a return trip; send a list when you book.
- Booking a man with a van midweek, rather than at the weekend, can be cheaper and easier to fit in.
- Helping to carry boxes yourself, if you can, may let you book a smaller crew, lowering the rate per hour for the van.
Before you book
- A clear list of items going in the van, so nothing is forgotten on the day.
- Access to both the pickup and drop-off locations, including any necessary permissions.
- Packing materials if you require assistance with packing before the move.
- Tell the provider about stairs, lifts and parking at both addresses, so they can plan the time the job needs.
- You can ask whether the van carries blankets, straps and a trolley for moving furniture safely.
- Agree before the day the rate per hour, when the time starts and whether travel to the pickup is charged.
- You can ask whether the man with a van is insured for goods in transit, and what happens if something is damaged on the move.
