The cost of a man and van in Portland comes down to three things: how much you're moving, how far it needs to go, and whether one person can handle it or you need two. For most jobs in Portland, that works out at £72 for a one-person team, or £111 for two.
Unlike most man and van providers – who charge by the hour – AnyVan sets prices by inventory and distance. There's no meter running while the job's underway.
| Team size | Average price in Portland | Equivalent cost per hour | Best for… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-person | £72 | £37 | Single furniture item |
| 2-person | £72 | £54 | Large/heavy items or small house moves |

Wondering how much it’ll cost to move your sofa across Portland? Or maybe you want to transport your Cat tree 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.
We hand-pick a man and van team with the right experience for the job, whether it's a single item or a van-load of furniture. Meet the teams behind the wheel in Portland.

Whatever you need to move, we've got a van for that! Our Portland 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.
Easy! It takes less than 2 minutes to get a quote for a local man and van in Portland. 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.
50% of customers in Portland 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.
What’s the difference between a man with a van and a removals company? The biggest difference is the size and cost of the move. Both options will sort you with a vehicle, plus the loading and unloading, but removals services go the extra mile with things like packing, furniture dismantling, and reassembly.
If you’re moving a house full of furniture, you’ll probably want a removals team to handle the heavy lifting (literally). But if it’s just a few pieces of furniture that you’re shifting, a man with a van is your budget-friendly, no-fuss solution!
Sadly, you can't ride along with our Portland 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!
No. The price you pay for a man and a van in Portland 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!
