Driver was very prompt friendly and helpful great knowledge of the route displayed customer service at all times would definitely use again *******
Damion and his team did an amazing job with moving me from London to East Sussex! They were both super efficient, speedy and highly skilled in moving & packing up the truck for maximum space. They took great care of all my items, were gracious…and couldn’t do enough to make the day go smoothly! I would highly recommend Damion & his team. These guys were brilliant!
Great experience from start to finish. Prompt, helpful, and everything arrived perfectly.
Good,!professional. Clean van. Organised.
Moving out with Azam was great. I only had 5 boxes, a luggage, some bags and plants. Between the two of us we quickly loaded up the van in less than 20 minutes. He also helped me unload all my stuff in the storage of the new flat. Really glad I got some extra hands to help with my move.
Dean and his friend had been delayed by a previous job, but turned up cheerful and friendly, and completed my move twice as fast to make up for it, it felt! It turned a stressful day into something almost enjoyable! Will definitely book again!
The gentleman was timely and kept us informed of exactly when he was going to arrive etc and what to expect. He accommodated us when we needed 2 passenger seats and overall provided great service. Will definitely use this site again!
Showed up on time and they were so helpful even with some really heavy bits of furniture! Perfect moving experience
Frank was absolutely fantastic - handled everything with care, great communication and timely. Highly recommend

How Londoners move with Compare the Man and Van
We’ve analysed thousands of London moves booked through Compare the Man and Van to highlight the patterns that actually matter when you’re planning your move.
When London gets busiest
Fridays and Saturdays — especially near the end of the month — book up fastest across London and tend to be pricier.
Distance isn’t the full story
Many London moves are only a few miles, but total time is usually driven by access, loading, and traffic — not mileage.
Compare 50+ drivers in minutes
Many London customers see 50+ quotes for a single move, giving you real choice — not just the first available van.
Access makes a difference
From stairs and lifts to long corridors and parking distance, access often affects loading time more than the drive itself.
Whether you’re moving across North, South, East or West London, comparing availability in advance makes it easier to secure the right driver at the right time.
What affects the cost of a man and van in London?
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 London 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.
London traffic and local restrictions can influence travel time between addresses.
Included in your quote as standard.
Included if your route enters the Congestion Charge zone.
Any ULEZ fees are paid by the driver, not you.
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 cheaper — and less stressful — than changing things on the day.

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. London jobs account for congestion charges, parking restrictions, and higher operating costs. Hiring a local driver still keeps things affordable compared with tackling London traffic in a rental van yourself.
This means you’ll see a single, clear price based on your route and timing, without needing to pay the charge separately on the day.
Because pricing is time-based, your quote reflects these factors, helping ensure the cost matches the actual time needed for the move.
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.
