Giant Van
Fantastic Removals
An honest, side-by-side comparison. No spin — just the facts to help you choose the right service for your move.
Fantastic Removals is part of the Fantastic Services franchise network — a recognised brand offering direct-booking removals from £39/hour. Giant Van offers a fixed upfront price (rather than hourly), live GPS tracking, and £10,000 transit insurance as standard. For customers already using Fantastic Services for other home needs, it's a convenient option. For a standalone removal with more price certainty, Giant Van is clearer.

What Customers Say After Switching
Smooth move from start to finish
VerifiedBooked online in under a minute and the crew turned up right on time. Everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged. Genuinely the easiest move I've had.
Fixed price — no nasty surprises
VerifiedThe quote I got online was exactly what I paid. No hidden fees, no extra charges on the day. The two-man crew were professional, fast, and really friendly.
Same-day booking saved our move
VerifiedOur original movers cancelled last minute. Giant Van had a crew available the same day. They handled a full 2-bed flat and had us settled in by evening.
If you want a fixed price, live tracking, and a vetted crew, Giant Van is the better choice. Fantastic Removals may suit you if you're already a fantastic services customer and want to bundle home services.
