As the UK's most trusted mover, you can be sure you're in safe hands with AnyVan. And, to top it all off, we offer man and van services that are up to 40% cheaper than the competition.
We move more two-seater sofas than anything else, which costs £69 on average for our professional pivoters to come in and get the job done. Of course, your man and van quote can depend on a few factors, but here's how much it typically costs to move some of your neighbour's most popular items.

Wondering how much it’ll cost to move your life-sized model Stormtrooper from Stockport to St Albans? Our man and van service costs start from just £26!
If you're moving a few boxes or small furniture items, you'll likely need just a one-person team, which on average costs between £32 and £57 per hour. For larger items or small house moves where an extra pair of hands will help, average costs increase to £96-£152 per hour for a two-person team.
Hourly rates aren't really our thing which is why our prices are based on inventory rather than the clock. The fastest way to get an accurate price? Get an instant quote! You'll get a fixed price based on what you're moving, not how long the job ends up taking.

Yes, you can! It takes less than 2 minutes with our simple online form to get an instant quote for a local man with a van service. All you need to hand is three pieces of info:
Pick-up and drop-off location
The items you’re moving
Your preferred day
You can then choose the time slot that works best for you and any extras, like a spare pair of hands. You’re on your way!
With AnyVan, your price covers the whole man and van service – no nasty surprises if traffic's bad or there's a tricky staircase. If you're looking to compare our fixed rates to an hourly man and van service, the price can typically range from £32-£57 an hour for a one-person moving team, or £96-£152 an hour for a two-person team. But, don't forget that your price doesn't depend on how long it takes. We give you an instant, fixed price based on your inventory and where your belongings need to go.
Costs can change based on your location, distance travelled, as well as the size of the move. Depending on whether you need one driver or two, prices typically range between:

Your quote includes the van itself, a professional vetted driver chosen by us, plus a second pair of hands if your move calls for it. The cost covers all the necessary fuel, mileage and driver insurance plus the necessary materials and time needed to load, unload and get the job done. No matter what, we’ll also include £50k fire and theft cover on every man and van booking for peace of mind (see T&Cs for more info).
Booking your man and van service in advance means you’re more likely to get a better price, as well as choice of dates and time slots. But we know things come up at the last minute and plans change! Luckily, at AnyVan we’re available 7 days a week, including bank holidays. This even includes same-day and same-week services if that’s what you need.
It’s worth being aware that demand does go up in the spring and summer months as lots of people move home at this time of year. We always recommend booking as far ahead as possible at this time, especially if you’re moving a large amount. Remember, you can change your booking at any point up until 48 hours before the move.
Yes! Our helpful mover will assist you in unloading and loading your items as part of our man and van service. But, they won’t pack your items. If you’re moving a large number of items you may need our removals service, which can include packing at an extra cost.
The main differences between a man with a van company and a removals company are the size of the move they carry out and the cost. Both services will include the vehicle hire, loading and unloading, but removal companies usually also offer packing or furniture dismantling/reassembly.
Chances are you’ll need a removal service if you’re moving a fully furnished house as there’ll be a fair few items to move. If you’re just moving a couple of things a man with a van is probably a better option.
Did you know that we also offer specialist services for high value items like pianos or antiques?
Unfortunately, customers cannot travel with our man and van service. This is for safety and legal reasons (boo!). If you’d like to be there for the pick up and drop off, you’ll need to arrange your own travel.
Nope! Nada! The cost of a man and a van includes petrol and VAT. Just make sure you have included everything in your inventory, have everything ready on time for collection and let us know if the team needs to navigate any stairs or lifts.
