Three parts of Cardiff decide how a move here runs: City Centre / Queen Street, Cathays / Student area and Cardiff Bay. Across the CF postcode area, controlled bays, timed loading windows and resident permits all decide where a van can legally wait. Apply to the council for a temporary bay suspension before your move date, and tell us about steps, gates, height barriers or a booked goods lift when you book so the right vehicle and crew are assigned.

Giant Van covers Cardiff in full, including Cathays, Roath, Canton, Pontcanna, Splott, Grangetown, Llandaff and Heath. Every one of those areas is served by the same crews and the same fixed pricing, so the address you are moving to does not change how the quote is built.

The rules to read before you fix a Cardiff date: Castle Quarter traffic order and Match-day road closures. Each one is set locally, and each can change where a van waits or which route it takes.
Cardiff housing stock: Victorian bay-fronted terraces, Edwardian semi-detached houses, Cardiff Bay waterfront apartments and New-build housing estates. Average property prices in Cardiff sit around £260,000. Doorway widths, stair turns and lift access differ sharply between those types, which is why we ask what you are leaving and what you are arriving at.

Cardiff sits in Wales and covers the CF postcode area. Give the full postcode at both ends when you book — it is what sets the route, the mileage and the access notes the crew reads before setting off.
Mid-week and mid-month dates have the widest choice of slots. Whatever date you pick, an early start gives the crew the best chance of a legal parking position before Cardiff streets fill for the day.
