The cost of a man and van in Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth, that works out at £101 for a one-person team, or £140 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.

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.

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.
63% of customers in Portsmouth 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!
Sadly, you can't ride along with our Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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.
I sure hope so! We're the nation's favourite moving service for good reason having moved over 5,708 boxes in Portsmouth. We can move everything from a 4–bed family home to your vintage coat collection. Our most popular services are:
