The price will depend on a few factors, as we've covered on this page, but here are some rough estimates:

• From Brixton to Brighton: around £700

• From Camber Sands to Cambridge: around £1,000

• From Reading to Richmond: around £800

These calculations include over 20 items – from dining room tables and armchairs, to wardrobes and mattresses for each bedroom. Your quote may differ depending on the specifics, but these are in the ballpark of what you would expect to pay with us (bearing in mind we have a price guarantee if you can find a better price elsewhere!).

Of course, the fastest way to find out how much your move could cost is to get an instant quote online with AnyVan!

Our free and instant online quote service can provide you with a cost for any size of house move. Whether you're going from a studio flat into a 3-bedroom home (congratulations!), or just moving your stuff from one flat share to another – we've got you covered.

For other services, you can use this moving cost calculator.

Every AnyVan move includes:

• £50k fire and theft complimentary cover
• Item damage protection (with a maximum rate per item)

If you are moving fragile items, or just want the extra peace of mind, you can always choose to add Protection+ to your move at an additional cost. Protection+ covers loss, fire and theft up to £20k total, including any accidental damage to your goods whilst in transit, including the risks of loading and unloading, up to the value you choose. You can read more in our T&Cs.

In the unlikely event something goes wrong during your move, be sure to immediately document any damage with photographs, and inform the driver of the issue before they leave. Contact our customer service team within 7 days with documentation to begin the claim eligibility process.

That 7-day window is important, so check your belongings when they arrive – not three weeks later.

The main thing is to make sure you're not comparing apples with oranges. Be sure to check that the quotes you're comparing include an inventory so that each company provides the right vehicle, equipment and size of team. If they're quoting by the hour be sure to allow for delays – it's normal for things to take longer than you expect, so you could find yourself facing additional charges for the extra time!

We offer a price-match guarantee. If you manage to find a like-for-like quote that's cheaper than ours (same inventory, distance, access, coverage, and protection levels from a legitimate insured removal company), we'll beat it (see T&Cs).

It's also worth checking what level of insurance or compensation cover is included in each quote. AnyVan includes £50k complimentary cover (see T&Cs) with every move, and you can opt for AnyVan Protection+ if you want additional peace of mind.

Finally, read reviews on independent sites like Trustpilot. There's no worse feeling than regretting not doing your due diligence because you were sucked in by a cheap price. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is!

We mentioned this earlier, but really this comes down to logistics and efficiencies. Imagine a driver is taking a sofa to Salford, or a drum kit to Donington. Well, on the way back, they'll be driving the van back empty.

Our founder, Angus, decided to do something about all of these empty miles, and founded AnyVan to take advantage of those empty miles. And as a result, we can offer a cheaper service than other man and van businesses in the UK.
