Affordable Removals Across York with Van and Driver

Man and van prices in York start at £45 for a short local job and reach around £300 for a larger booking. The final price depends on distance, the volume of items, and whether any access restrictions apply. Giant Van provides fixed quotes before your move, so you always know the cost in advance.

Yes. Giant Van covers all York postcodes, including YO1, YO10, YO23, YO24, YO26, YO30, YO31, and YO32. We also operate in surrounding areas such as Haxby, Poppleton, Fulford, Copmanthorpe, Dunnington, and Bishopthorpe.

If you are moving to or from a village outside these postcodes, message us in the live chat and we will confirm coverage and provide a quote for your route.

Yes, we can, but it requires planning. Several streets within the York city walls have time-based access restrictions. We typically book early-morning slots, often from 7am, to access properties on streets like Stonegate, Petergate, or Goodramgate before restrictions apply.

We advise customers in YO1 to arrange a temporary parking suspension through City of York Council at least two weeks before their move date.

For moves during peak season, which runs from late June through September, book four to six weeks ahead. Student move dates in late September are particularly busy. For moves in October through March, one to two weeks notice is usually sufficient, though earlier is always better. Weekend slots and Luton van bookings fill fastest.

Call as soon as your moving date is confirmed to secure your preferred slot.

Standard bookings cover loading, transporting, and unloading your belongings. Packing assistance, boxes, bubble wrap, wardrobe transit boxes, and mattress covers are available as optional extras at an additional cost. If you need help with flat-pack furniture disassembly at the collection address or reassembly at the destination, we can arrange that too.

Let us know what you need when you call and we will build it into your quote.

Yes. Giant Van carries full goods-in-transit insurance and public liability cover. This means your belongings are protected during the move. Not all man-and-van operators carry adequate insurance, so it is worth asking any provider before you book. We are happy to confirm our cover details when you call.

Our insurance applies to all York jobs, including properties with complex access inside the city walls.

Same-day bookings are available subject to van and driver availability on the day. They are more achievable outside peak season, particularly on weekdays in autumn and winter. If you have an urgent move, call as early in the day as possible and we will check what is available.

We cannot guarantee same-day availability, but we will always be honest about what we can offer rather than keeping you waiting.

Yes. If your new property is not ready on moving day, we can transport your belongings to a storage facility in or near York rather than to a residential address. We are familiar with storage sites accessible from the A64 and the outer ring road.

You arrange the storage unit and we deliver to it as part of your normal booking. Message us on live chat to confirm the address and access details in advance so we can plan the route correctly.
