How does AnyVan work?

AnyVan makes moving anything, anywhere miles better. We don’t just make finding and booking a vetted transport partner easier, we make moving more transparent, reliable, and flexible. Plus, we'll make sure there’s always someone to help you, even if something unexpected happens.

We get it, choosing a moving team is a big decision and there are plenty of rogue traders out there, so it's hard to know who to trust. But with over 15 years of experience and a network built from the crème-de-la-crème of professional movers, you can trust us to get the job done right. We provide a consistently excellent service at a great price, with support from a team of experts throughout.

Wondering how we’re different from traditional removal companies and moving marketplaces or brokers? Here's how AnyVan works:

Step 1: Get an instant quote

Whether you're simply moving some furniture to another part of town, or you're moving your entire family home across the UK – we've got a van for that.

Just tell us what you’re moving, when you need it moving, and whether you’d like a helping hand with packing. We’ll calculate a transparent price instantly, based on your inventory, the distance covered and when you want to move. We'll calculate the size of van and team you need. You can also specify any extras you'd like, including furniture dismantling and assembly, or our Protection+ compensation cover.

Once you’ve picked your date, just book to lock in the price, risk free. We know plans change so you can edit or even cancel your booking up until 48 hours before your move.

Prefer to chat to one of the team on the phone? One of our moving experts is always available either over the phone, by email, or through WhatsApp to help you with your inventory, so you can be confident your quote is accurate.

Step 2: We send in the experts

Our technology uses the details of your move to match you with a highly-vetted moving or delivery team from our trusted UK network, already working in your area. By using local teams working nearby, we cut wasted miles, helping you save up to 40% on the cost of your move while reducing CO₂ emissions.

We only work with vetted professional movers who hold all the right licences and insurance, including goods in transit and public liability insurance. Plus, we ask customers for feedback on every single move, which is how we know our teams are on time, careful with your belongings and communicate clearly. In fact, our expert movers average a 4.8 rating according to you!

From moving cars across the country to getting a sofa down the street, whether you need a man and van or home removals experts, we’ve got you covered. For specialist jobs like pi anos or artwork, we’ll send a team with the right expertise.

Step 3: You’re on your way!

We’ll keep you updated every step of the way. You’ll receive WhatsApp notifications and live driver tracking with an ETA when your team is on the way. Once your friendly team of movers arrive they'll take care of all the heavy lifting, loading up the van safely, driving to the destination, then unloading and delivering your stuff to your room of choice.

If you're concerned about your move on the day, or if you feel like our standards slipped, you can speak to one of our team via WhatsApp, phone, or email. Our customer care team is available 7 days a week to make sure you're happy with your move, and that you feel like your belongings were in safe hands throughout.

For peace of mind, every AnyVan move includes £50,000 fire and theft cover as standard. So, in the unlikely event that things don't go according to plan, we're committed to doing our best to make things right as quickly as possible.

Once your move is done and dusted, we'll ask for your feedback so we know how your moving team did and ensure our quality bar stays high.

Ask Angus

Meet Angus, our founder, who set up AnyVan wayyy back in 2009. Here's some of the questions he's been asked lots over the years:

Is AnyVan a broker?

No, AnyVan is not a broker. AnyVan is a managed marketplace, which means we offer several benefits beyond connecting you with transport providers.

How do you choose who drives for AnyVan?

We only work with professional movers who have to pass strict checks before joining the AnyVan platform. Every transport partner must provide proof of goods in transit and public liability insurance, and we carefully review their background, experience, and equipment.

Is the process different depending on what I'm moving?

Generally speaking, regardless of what you're moving – from homes to furniture or even cars – we use our managed marketplace technology to provide an instant price and match you with a team working nearby.

Will my AnyVan team be wearing uniform?

Ah, the uniform question! The honest answer is: sometimes. Some of our partners don the AnyVan kit, others prefer not to – largely because they also carry out private jobs beyond AnyVan.

How come my driver didn't have a branded van?

Good question! Some of our transport partners choose to drive AnyVan-branded vans, while others stick with their own vehicles. It’s their choice.

Will you come to my house and do a survey?

Unfortunately, we can't come and do a survey because we do thousands of moves every single week, and there simply aren't enough hours in the day!

How does AnyVan work?

Here’s how it works. You tell us what you’re moving, when you need it moved, and if you’d like extras such as packing. In seconds, you’ll get a tailored quote. Once you book, we match you with a professional local moving team who’s already working in your area. That’s what keeps our prices low and up to 40% cheaper than traditional movers! It's also how we cut unnecessary miles travelled while reducing CO2.
