You'll be matched with a local man with a van in Colchester, and can track your driver on moving day.
In Colchester, our man and van service typically costs £81 for a one-person team and £119 for two. The exact cost depends on what you're moving and how far it's going, but the important bit is that you'll know the price before you book, not after.
While other man and van providers charge hourly, at AnyVan, our prices are based on your inventory, because moves often take longer than you expect, especially the more distance is involved. To make it easy to compare, we've shown what our prices work out to on an equivalent hourly basis. Spoiler: it's a lot friendlier than the market average.
| Team size | Average price in Colchester | Equivalent cost per hour | Best for… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-person | £81 | £35 | Single furniture item |
| 2-person | £81 | £50 | Large/heavy items or small house moves |

Whether you’re looking to move a few items across Colchester or move your Pouffes and footstools further afield, you could save up to 40% with AnyVan. Our prices start from just £26, but to get an accurate quote we’ll consider what, when and where you’re moving.
Remember, we’ll include £50k fire and theft cover as standard (see our T&Cs for more info). Better yet, you can make edits or cancel your job up to 48 hours before your move. You can’t control everything but you can control your booking!

Whatever you need to move, we've got a van for that! Our Colchester man and van service can handle house moves, office relocations, furniture deliveries, large parcels – you name it, we can move it.
No need to rent a van or break your back hauling things on your own. Our service includes loading and unloading, so we can share the load with you. Easy, right?
Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll match you with a local expert.
In less than 2 minutes, our super simple online form will give you a quote for a local man and van in Colchester. All you need is three bits of info:
Then, pick a time slot that works for you and add any extras – like an extra pair of hands if you need ‘em. And just like that, you’re good to go!
Booking your man and van early? Now that's a smart move! You’ll snag the best prices and get to pick from a range of dates and time slots that work for you. But hey, you can’t always plan for everything – if you need a hand at the last minute, then don’t worry, we’ve got you. At AnyVan, we’re happy to help seven days a week, bank holidays included.
65% of customers in Colchester book their move less than a week in advance. Need a move even sooner? Just ask! Often, we have next-day and even same-day availability.
Our friendly mover will lend a hand with loading and unloading your things as part of the man and van service. However, they won’t be packing your stuff up for you – think of them as the muscle, not the organiser!
If you’ve got a mountain of items to move, you might want to consider our removals service, which can include packing for an extra fee.
Okay, let’s break it down: the main difference between a man with a van and a removals company is scale and cost. Both will provide the vehicle, plus the loading and unloading, but removals companies tend to go above and beyond with packing, furniture breakdowns, and reassembly (basically, they can do it all).
If you’ve got a whole house of furniture to move, we’d suggest looking at a removals service. But if it’s just a few items, like a big sofa, a bed, and a wardrobe, a man with a van is your best bet. It’s simpler, and way more affordable!
Unfortunately, you cannot travel with our Colchester 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.
No. The price you pay for a man and a van in Colchester already includes petrol and VAT.
Just make sure your inventory is up-to-date, everything’s packed and ready to go when we show up, and let us know if there are any stairs or lifts – so we can bring our A-game!
I sure hope so! We're the nation's favourite moving service for good reason having moved over 6,263 boxes in Colchester. We can move everything from a 4–bed family home to your vintage coat collection. Our most popular services are:
