Moving Van Hire in London

The size of the removal van you need depends on the size of your home. A medium panel van suits a studio or one-bedroom flat. A large panel van works well for two to three bedrooms. A Luton van (our biggest option) is best for four-bedroom houses or moves with bulky furniture.

If you’re unsure, get in touch and tell us roughly what you’re moving and we’ll recommend the right size.

No, a standard full UK car licence (category B) covers our Luton vans. They’re built on a chassis that keeps them within the weight limit for ordinary licence holders. You don’t need any additional qualifications or a separate van licence. Just bring your valid licence along at the time of collection, the same as you would for any other vehicle in our fleet.

You can hire a moving van for as long as you need it. Many house moves only require a single day, but if your move is happening in stages, multi-day hire is available too. We also offer longer-term hire for office relocations or moves that stretch over several weeks. Let us know your timeline and we’ll arrange a hire period to suit.

In most cases, yes, hiring a van and doing the move yourself is significantly cheaper than booking a full-service removal company. Especially for smaller moves. You lose the labour element, but gain full control over timing and how things are packed.

For larger or more complex moves, weigh up the time and effort involved against the cost saving before deciding.

You may need to consider the ULEZ or congestion charge when hiring a moving van in London. Depending on your route. If you’re driving through the ULEZ or the Congestion Charge zone, you’re responsible for checking whether the charge applies. It must be paid directly via Transport for London.

Our standard vans generally meet ULEZ emissions standards. Still, it’s worth confirming with us at the time of booking if you’re planning to drive through central London.

Yes, office and business relocations are something we handle regularly in London. Whether you’re moving desks and IT equipment to new premises or relocating a smaller workspace, we have vans suited to the job.

Larger panel vans and Lutons tend to work well for office moves. We can advise on the right size and number of vehicles based on what you’re shifting.

We understand commercial moves often need to happen outside normal working hours to minimise disruption to a business. While our branches operate Monday to Friday 9 am-4:30 pm and Saturday 9 am- 12 pm for collection and return, we are completely flexible.

We can work with you to plan hire periods that fit around weekend or evening moves. Get in touch in advance so we can plan collection and drop-off around your schedule.

Yes, ongoing or regular hire is something we can arrange for businesses that need consistent vehicle access. For example, moving stock or equipment between sites on a weekly basis. Long-term hire from 28 days upwards is often the most cost-effective route for this kind of repeat use.

Contact our team to discuss your schedule and we’ll put together a suitable arrangement.
