What Quotes About Moving Houses Should Include
Quotes about moving houses should be itemised in writing, not given verbally over the phone.
A proper quote specifies: the date and time of the move, the crew size and vehicle type, the collection and delivery addresses, whether packing is included, the fuel and parking costs, and the total fixed price inclusive of VAT.
Any quote that does not specify these elements in writing leaves room for ambiguity on the day.
Red flags in a moving quote include: hourly rates with no maximum cap, exclusion of VAT until checkout, no mention of insurance, and no cancellation policy.
Giant Van provides a written fixed quote via email within 24 hours of assessment.

Giant Van charges a single fixed price that covers the driver, van, fuel, equipment, and goods-in-transit insurance.
There are no surcharges for stairs, no mileage additions once the quote is issued, and no 'fuel supplements' added on moving day.
The quote is based on an assessment of the property, the volume of goods, access conditions, and the distance involved.
Larger jobs requiring two movers or two vans are priced accordingly from the start.
Same-day bookings are available subject to availability and carry a small premium.
Midweek moves tend to be priced lower than weekend or end-of-month dates.
All quotes are confirmed in writing before any deposit is taken.
Our Service Guarantees
Giant Van operates with fully employed drivers, not gig-economy contractors.
Every booking carries goods-in-transit cover up to £50,000, so your belongings are protected from the moment loading begins.
The crew arrives within a confirmed time window.
If the job takes longer than estimated for reasons within the crew's control, the additional time is covered.
Giant Van is affiliated with the British Association of Removers (BAR), which requires members to maintain professional standards and financial protection for customers.
