The average man and van job in Christchurch costs £111 for a one-person team and £155 if you need a second pair of hands. Those are fixed prices, based on your inventory and how far it's going, not the clock.
Man and van hire across the market typically runs between £36 and £120 per hour, and those hourly clocks don't pause for traffic, a tricky staircase, or a load that's bigger than expected. With AnyVan, you’ll get an instant price for the items and time taken all included.

Wondering how much it’ll cost to move your sofa across Christchurch? Or maybe you want to transport your Lawnmowers cross-country?
Our man and van services costs start from just £26, and you could save up to 40% with us! But getting the right price depends on a few things – the type and number of items you need to move, distance to travel, time and date of the move, and how many movers you need.
No matter what, we’ll include £50k fire and theft cover on every booking for peace of mind (check our T&Cs for more info)! And, you can cancel, or edit, your move up to two days before the job, with pay nothing until three hours before! Win-win.

Thea, an AnyVan moving expert on Christchurch, has heard it all! Here are her most-asked questions:
Whatever you need, we’ve got a van for that. Our Christchurch man and van service can help with house removals, office removals, furniture courier services, large parcel delivery, and much more!
With our man and van service, you don’t need to rent a van, or do any loading or unloading – let us carry the load. Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll match you with the right team.
Easy! It takes less than 2 minutes to get a quote for a local man and van in Christchurch. All you need to hand is three pieces of info:
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!
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 plans change so, at AnyVan we’re available seven days a week. This even includes same-day and same-week services if that’s what you need.
60% of customers in Christchurch book their move less than seven days in advance. Remember, you can change your booking at any point up to 48 hours before the move and there’s nothing to pay until 72 hours before you move.
Our helpful mover will take care of 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 pieces of furniture, a man with a van is probably a better option.
Sadly, you can't ride along with our Christchurch man and van service (boo!).
This is for safety and legal reasons. If you'd like to be there for pick-up and drop-off, you'll need to sort your own travel. We’ll take care of all the heavy lifting!
Nope, no hidden costs here! The price of a man and a van in Christchurch covers petrol and VAT.
Just double-check that everything’s on the inventory, have everything packed and ready when we arrive, and let us know if there are any stairs or lifts to navigate.
