Van Rentals for Moving: Self-Drive vs Driven
Van rentals for moving come in two forms.
Self-drive means you collect the van from a depot, drive it yourself, and return it by the agreed time.
Driven means a professional turns up at your door, loads your belongings, drives to the destination, and unloads.
Self-drive starts around £50 per day, but adding collision damage waiver (£15 to £25), fuel (£30 to £60), and mileage penalties pushes the real cost past £120.
Giant Van's driven service starts at £49 per hour with fuel, insurance, and the driver included.
For most moves under six hours, the driven option is cheaper and far less hassle.

Using a Moving Van for Office Relocation
Office relocation with Giant Van works outside normal business hours to minimise disruption.
The team handles desks, chairs, filing cabinets, servers (with anti-static wrap), and kitchen equipment.
Monitor boxes protect screens during transit.
The driver positions items in the new office according to your floor plan.
A small office of 10 desks typically fills one Luton van and takes three to four hours.
Larger offices with 20 to 50 workstations need a 7.5-tonne truck and a two or three-person crew.
Weekend and evening moves carry no surcharge.

Nationwide Coverage for Van Hire
Giant Van provides van hire across the UK, operating from 50 cities and their surrounding postcodes.
Whether the job starts in central London or a rural market town in the North, the same standard applies: a fully insured crew, a correctly sized vehicle, and a fixed quote confirmed before the booking is taken.
For long-distance moving vans jobs, the team allocates a driver experienced on that corridor.
Multi-collection routes — picking up from two addresses and delivering to one — are available on request and priced accordingly.
Coverage extends to ferry port moves for Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, and Northern Ireland.
Scotland, Wales, and the Highlands are covered with appropriate lead times.

Our Van Hire Process
01
Every moving vans job follows a consistent process.
02
You submit a quote with property details, access notes, and date.
03
The team reviews the job and issues a fixed price.

On the day, the crew arrives within the agreed window, assesses the property, and begins work.
05
For moving vans jobs, any specialist equipment required — transit blankets, straps, ramps, or dollies — is brought as standard.
Pricing Guide for Van Hire
Pricing for moving vans at Giant Van is set by three variables: distance, load volume, and crew size.
A single-item moving vans job in the same city starts from £49.
A full-property moving vans job with two movers and a Luton van starts from £149 regionally and £199 in London.
Long-distance moving vans moves over 100 miles start from £220.
Pricing is fixed once the quote is confirmed — no extras are added on the day.
If access conditions at either address cause unexpected difficulty, the team notes this and may issue a revised quote for approval before proceeding, but only with your agreement.
Half-day and full-day rates are available for complex jobs.
