How much it costs for a man and van in Portland
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 |

Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll match you with a local expert.
How can I get an online quote for a man with a van near me?
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:
- 1. Pick-up and drop-off locations
- 2. The items you’re moving
- 3. 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!
Shall I arrange a man and van service ahead of time?
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.
50% of customers in Portland 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.
Can a man and a van help me pack and unpack?
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.
Is a man and van service the same as a removals service?
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!
Can I ride with my man and van service?
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!
Are there any additional charges?
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!
I don't need a man and van, can you help me with something else?
Whatever you’re moving, we’ve got a van for that! We’ve moved over 212 boxes in Portland. Whether you’re moving a sofa down the street, or wardrobe across Wales. Our moving services include:
- Vehicle Delivery
- Furniture Couriers
- Piano Transport
- Student Movers

- eBay Couriers
