Affordable Moves We Cover in Exeter
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Exeter: Your Affordable Removals Covered
Exeter has a wide range of property types, and removal costs reflect that. A compact one-bedroom flat near St David's station or along Bartholomew Street East typically costs between £250 and £400 with Giant Van. That covers a man and van for a few hours, loading, transit, and unloading at your new address.
Two-bedroom homes in areas like Heavitree or St Leonards run from £400 to £650. These moves often involve longer carries, narrower access roads, and more furniture. We account for all of that in your quote before you commit to anything.
Three-bedroom houses, particularly in Pinhoe, Whipton, or the streets above Pennsylvania Road, are priced between £650 and £900. These jobs typically require two crew members and a larger vehicle to handle the volume in a single trip.
If you just need a man and van for a smaller job, a single item, or an office clearance in the EX1 or EX2 postcode area, our hourly rate starts at £45. That rate covers fuel, insurance, and the driver's time. Nothing extra is added at the end.
What drives up removal costs in Exeter is rarely the distance. It is usually access. Streets near the cathedral, around Fore Street, and the older Victorian terraces off Sidwell Street often have no off-street parking. We factor restricted access into the quote, so you are not charged a surcharge after the job is done.
Ask for your quote now by calling. You will have a fixed price in under two minutes.
How We Manage Affordable Removals Access in Exeter
Plans change quickly.
A completion date brought forward, a landlord asking for keys back sooner than expected, or a last-minute decision to move before the weekend. Giant Van offers same-day removals across Exeter when slots are available.
We cover every part of the city, including Alphington, Countess Wear, Newtown, Polsloe, and St Thomas.
We also serve the surrounding areas including Topsham, Exminster, and the villages along the A379 corridor.
Same-day jobs work best when you call early.
Ring before midday and we will confirm availability and give you a firm time slot. If you need a van hire in Exeter at short notice, we can often despatch within a few hours.
The van arrives with everything needed for a safe move.
Furniture blankets, strapping, and floor protection are included as standard. You do not pay extra for protective materials.
Exeter's one-way systems around Sidwell Street and the ring road near Western Way can slow journeys at certain times.
Our drivers plan routes around peak congestion, particularly around the Exe Bridges area and the A30 junction at Pocombe Bridge. That means your belongings arrive on time without unnecessary detours adding cost.
For customers who need flexibility, the Giant Van app lets you track the van in real time using GPS.
You can see exactly where the crew is and plan your own arrival at the new address accordingly.

Honest Affordable Removals Pricing in Exeter
Exeter sits at the intersection of the M5 and the A30, making it a practical base for moves heading towards Bristol, Plymouth, Taunton, or Cornwall.
Giant Van prices long-distance moves from Exeter by the job, not by the mile, so you get a fixed price upfront regardless of traffic.
Common routes our Exeter crews cover include the M5 northbound towards Bristol and the Midlands, the A38 through Teignbridge towards Torquay and the Torbay area, the A30 westbound into Cornwall via Launceston, and the A396 through the Exe Valley for rural Devon moves.
If you are moving from a property near Exeter Airport at Clyst Honiton, or from the newer developments at Cranbrook, access is straightforward from the B3174.
We include all motorway and road time in your fixed quote.
No additional mileage charges are added after the job.
For moves within Devon, such as Exeter to Crediton, Exeter to Newton Abbot, or Exeter to Exmouth along the A376, most jobs complete in a morning.
We can offer a fixed-price rate on these shorter regional moves.
Customers moving from Exeter to London or the South East typically book a full-day service.
These are priced individually based on volume and access at both ends.

Getting Started With Affordable Removals in Exeter
- 01
Exeter's road layout creates real challenges on moving day.
Knowing the access conditions in your postcode saves time and prevents unexpected delays.
- 02
EX1 covers the city centre and St David's.
Properties near Northernhay Street and Rougemont Terrace have extremely limited parking. Cathedral Close itself is restricted to permit holders and service vehicles at most hours. Bookings in EX1 should plan for a drop-off point on Southernhay or Palace Gate rather than trying to park directly at the property.
- 03
EX2 includes Alphington, Cowick, and parts of St Thomas.
The bridge over the River Exe on Cowick Street is a bottleneck during school hours. Moving in this area before 8am or after 3:30pm avoids most delays.
- 04
EX4 covers Heavitree and parts of Polsloe.
These streets often have terraced houses with narrow footpaths and no front access. Our crew is used to using back lanes and rear gardens where available.
- 05
EX1 and EX4 also cover much of the student accommodation belt, including streets off Magdalen Road and the area around St James.
Parking permits are required in many of these zones and Giant Van drivers carry trade permits for standard removal windows.
- 06
EX2 properties in the Matford business park area and along Marsh Barton have excellent van access.
Industrial and commercial removals from this zone are among the easiest we handle in the city.

Streets We Cover for Affordable Removals in Exeter
There are dozens of removal firms advertising cheap removals in Exeter.
Most quote low and charge extra for stairs, parking, waiting time, or fuel. Giant Van does not do that.
Your price is fixed when you book.
If the job takes longer due to a lift being out of service, a parking warden, or a delayed completion, we do not revise the invoice upstairs. What you are quoted is what you pay.
Every van in the fleet is tracked by GPS.
The Giant Van app shows you live vehicle location so you can plan around your move rather than waiting at the property. Customers picking up keys from solicitors in Exeter city centre, for example on Southernhay West, can track the van and arrive exactly when needed.
All moves are fully insured.
Your contents are covered in transit. You do not need to arrange separate goods-in-transit insurance as a condition of using our service.
Booking is fast.
The app gives an instant price estimate based on your property size and postcode. Phone quotes through take under two minutes for standard moves. We do not require a home survey for jobs under 3 bedrooms.
Giant Van operates seven days a week, including Bank Holidays.
Weekend availability in Exeter fills quickly in the summer months, particularly in July and August when student tenancies turn over. Book ahead if your move date is fixed.
A Note From Our Exeter Team
We know Exeter well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Exeter depends on it.

Our Affordable Removals Commitment in Exeter
A well-prepared move costs less. Every minute our crew spends waiting for items to be boxed, or navigating around packed hallways, adds to the job time on hourly bookings. Here is how to move efficiently in Exeter.
Label boxes by room, not by contents. When your crew arrives at the new address on Pennsylvania Crescent or Bonhay Road, they can stack directly into the right room without you directing every box.
Disassemble large flat-pack furniture before the van arrives. Bed frames from IKEA and wardrobes with sliding doors are much quicker to carry when they are in panels. Keep all fixings in a labelled bag taped to the largest piece.
For moves in older Exeter properties, particularly Victorian terraces in St Leonards or the Hoopern Valley, measure doorways before booking. Sofas and mattresses above 4 foot 6 in width frequently cannot turn the narrow stairwells in these houses. We can advise on this when you call.
If you are moving from a first-floor flat above a shop on Fore Street or Sidwell Street, plan for a street-level loading point and multiple trips to the van. These buildings rarely have lifts and stairwells are often only single-file width.
Book a parking space in advance if your Exeter property is in a permit zone. The EX1 and EX4 permit areas require a temporary dispensation from Exeter City Council. We can advise on how to apply but you must request it at least 3 working days before your move date.

Affordable Removals Exeter with Van and Driver — FAQs
How much do cheap removals in Exeter cost?
A man and van in Exeter starts at £54 per hour. A one-bedroom move costs £250 to £400. Two-bedroom properties run from £400 to £650, and three-bedroom homes from £650 to £900. Your quote is fixed when you book. There are no extras added for fuel, stairs, or standard waiting time. Call for a firm price in under two minutes.
Do you offer same-day removals in Exeter?
Yes. Giant Van offers same-day removals across Exeter when slots are available. Message us before midday to check availability and confirm a time. We cover all Exeter postcodes including EX1, EX2, EX4, and the surrounding villages. Same-day slots fill quickly, so call as early as possible to secure your booking.
Can you handle removals in Exeter city centre?
Yes, though city centre access requires planning. Much of the High Street and areas around Cathedral Yard are pedestrianised or permit-only. Our drivers know which loading points are permitted near Southernhay, Paris Street, and Gandy Street. Tell us your full address when booking and we plan the access route in advance to avoid delays or fines.
Are your removal vans insured in Exeter?
Yes. Every Giant Van move in Exeter is fully insured. Your goods are covered in transit as standard. You do not need to arrange separate insurance before booking. The van is also GPS-tracked so you can follow progress on the app. Insurance is included in your quoted price with no additional premium to pay.
Do you offer van hire cheap in Exeter for smaller jobs?
Yes. Our man and van service starts at £54 per hour and suits single-item moves, student clearances, furniture deliveries, and storage collections. It is ideal for smaller jobs in EX1 to EX6 postcodes. You get a professional driver and an insured vehicle without paying for a full removal crew. Book by app or call.
How far in advance do I need to book Exeter removals?
Ideally two to four weeks for a planned move. End-of-month dates and summer weekends in July and August fill quickly due to student tenancy turnovers near the University of Exeter. For urgent moves, same-day slots are available when you message us before midday. If your move date is fixed, book early to guarantee your slot at the price you want.
Do you move from Exeter to other cities?
Yes. Giant Van handles long-distance moves from Exeter to Bristol, London, Plymouth, Cornwall, and beyond. These are priced as fixed-rate jobs, not per mile, so you know the full cost upfront. We cover the M5, A30, A38, and A376 routes regularly. Message us on live chat to discuss your route and get a fixed long-distance price.
What areas of Exeter do you cover?
We cover all of Exeter including St Thomas, Heavitree, St Leonards, Polsloe, Pinhoe, Alphington, Countess Wear, Newtown, Pennsylvania, and the city centre. We also serve Topsham, Exminster, Cranbrook, and other surrounding villages. All EX postcodes from EX1 to EX6 are within our standard service area with no extra travel charge.
