Fantastic service, really reasonable cost and I was a little concerned after booking at the negative reviews but our driver Desmond and helper were amazing, so fast, efficient and so careful, no breakages or damage to either property and they completed our move in less than 3 hours.Could fault the service
Julian was brilliant! The move was smooth and stress-free exactly what you want on moving day.
The driver arrived early, he was well equiped with a trolley for the boxes and blanquets. He was nice, friendly and most importantly very efficient. I would hire him again. Thank you

What to keep in mind when moving in Cambridge
Cambridge moves are often shaped by access. Narrower streets, busy residential areas, flats and shared houses can all affect how loading works on the day.
Access can be tighter
Some Cambridge streets and residential areas leave less room for loading, so the van setup and help level matter.
Student and shared housing
Student moves and shared houses often involve stairs, multiple items and practical loading details that are worth setting out clearly.
Compare with details clear

What affects the cost of a man and van in Cambridge?
Your quote is shaped by the details you choose — so you only pay for what your move needs. Enter your move information to see available options based on van size, level of help and distance between addresses.
The main things that change your quote
Choosing the right size van helps ensure your move runs efficiently without paying for more space than you need.
Choose driver-only for a lower-cost option, or add extra help with loading and unloading if needed.
The distance between addresses and the time needed to safely load and unload your items both play a role.
Common Cambridge factors to consider
Stairs, lifts, long corridors, tight entrances and parking distance can affect loading time and how your move is carried out.
Peak days and busy time slots can affect both price and availability.
Your route is estimated from your postcodes, but peak-time traffic can still influence travel time between addresses.
Clear pricing, with no hidden extras.
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.

This flexibility makes man and van a practical option for renters, students, and anyone needing a straightforward move without booking a large removal service.
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.
Parking restrictions, limited access, or longer walking distances between the property and the van can affect how long a move takes in Cambridge.
Because pricing is time-based, these factors are reflected in the overall duration of the job rather than added as separate charges. Providing accurate access details when booking helps ensure your quote matches the time needed on the day.
