Removal Van
A removal van is at the centre of any house move, but the right choice depends on how much help you need. Self-drive hire puts you in control of the timeline. A professional removal van with crew means trained hands loading and protecting your belongings. Giant Van covers both — insured crews with a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating, man and van from £49 in London.
Removal van hire with a professional crew costs £150–£800 depending on property size and distance. Giant Van offers man and van from £49 in London and £35 in regional areas. All moves are fully insured and BAR-accredited. Call +44 7414 655129 for a quote.
Removal Van Hire Prices: What You Will Pay
Removal van hire prices depend on van size, duration, and location.
Self-drive hire from national providers costs £50–£120 per day for a long-wheelbase transit, rising to £120–£220 for a 7.5-tonne Luton van.
Add fuel, insurance excess waiver (typically £20–£40 per day), and mileage if applicable.
For a professional removal van hire with crew, expect £150–£300 for a half-day in a city and £400–£800 for a full-day house move.
The true comparison is not just the daily rate but the total cost including your own time, physical effort, and the risk of damage to items you load yourself.
Many people underestimate how long loading and unloading takes without experience.

If legal completion is delayed, the team holds the booking and rebooking is free within 48 hours of the original date.

Why Fixed Pricing Matters for Your Move
Variable pricing — where a firm quotes low and adds charges on the day — is the most common complaint about removal companies.
Giant Van operates exclusively on fixed quotes.
The price confirmed at booking is the price paid.
This applies to stairs, parking complications, and longer-than-expected jobs caused by factors within the crew's control.
If access conditions at either property are fundamentally different from what was described at the quote stage, the team raises it before loading begins and agrees any variation in writing.
This protects both the customer and the crew.
