What affects the cost of a man and van in Birmingham?
Your quote is shaped by the options you choose — so you only pay for what your move needs. You can select details yourself in the quick quote form or use the guided move flow for recommendations.
The main things that change your quote
Different van sizes have different rates — choosing the right size keeps things efficient.
Driver help or extra helpers can affect the price and speed up loading.
Driving time, plus the time needed to load and unload your items, impacts your quote.
Common Birmingham factors to consider
Stairs, lifts, long corridors, tight entrances and parking distance can affect loading time — and may increase the cost.
Peak days and busy time slots book up faster and can affect both price and availability.
Your route is estimated from your postcodes, but peak-time traffic can still affect travel time between addresses.
Included in your quote as standard.
If a Clean Air Zone charge applies, it’s handled by the driver, not you.
Tolls aren’t included in your quote — if you choose a toll route, your driver can confirm how it’ll be handled on the day.
The price you see is the price you pay when you book.
Not sure on timings, van size, or how much help you’ll need? Adding a small buffer upfront is usually easier — and less stressful — than changing things on the day.

Frequently asked questions
Choosing the right van size depends on the number and type of items you’re moving. During the quote process, you’ll be guided to select a van size based on your move details.
If you’re unsure, we recommend using our van size guide or van size calculator to help estimate the space you’ll need. Providing accurate item and access information helps ensure the most suitable van is allocated for your move.
Yes. Man and van services are well suited to small moves, flat moves, and transporting individual items. You can choose the van size and level of help that best matches your move, whether you’re moving a few items or the contents of a small flat.
This flexibility makes man and van a practical option for renters, students, and anyone needing a straightforward move without booking a large removal service.
Yes. Drivers on our platform are vetted and insured, so you can book with confidence.
If you have any specific requirements, such as high-value items or building rules, it’s best to discuss these directly with your driver ahead of the move.
It depends on the service level you choose. With customer loading you are fully responsible for getting your property in and out of the van; with driver loading you add one or more helpers so everything is handled for you.
Yes. Fuel and mileage are built into your quote based on the distance between collection and delivery. Extra mileage or waiting time is only added if the route changes on the day.
Absolutely. We understand that plans can change. Please contact our support team as soon as possible and we will update your driver and adjust the booking where we can. Changes and cancellations are handled in line with our refunds and cancellations policy.
If a driver is unable to attend due to circumstances such as illness or vehicle issues, we’ll work quickly to help arrange a comparable replacement where possible.
Availability can vary depending on timing and demand, but our aim is always to minimise disruption and keep you fully informed. If a suitable alternative cannot be arranged, you will receive a full refund.
Birmingham city centre operates a Clean Air Zone, which applies charges to certain vehicles based on emission standards. Drivers operating in the area are aware of these requirements and handle any applicable charges directly. There are no additional Clean Air Zone costs for you to calculate or pay separately — simply enter your move details and compare available options based on your pickup and delivery locations.
Moves involving apartment blocks or high-rise buildings can take longer due to lift access, shared entrances, corridor distances or limited loading areas. This doesn’t change how you book — but it can affect the overall time required on the day. Because quotes are based on van size, helpers and estimated duration, selecting the correct property type and level of help ensures the time allowed matches your move.
