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.

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.

If the job takes longer than estimated for reasons within the crew's control, the additional time is covered.
