When plans change fast, Giant Van moves faster. We are the busy chaps removals Exeter residents call when they need a van today, not next week. Same-day booking, instant quotes, and fully insured vehicles across the city. Call 020 3129 6180 now and we will have a crew at your door within hours.

Same-day last minute removals in Exeter from £45/hr, covering all EX1 to EX6 postcodes including St Leonards, Heavitree, Pennsylvania and Topsham, with real-time GPS tracking and no surcharge for urgent bookings.
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Exeter's street layout catches out drivers who do not know the city. The medieval core around Cathedral Green and High Street operates a tight one-way system that shifts traffic onto Fore Street and North Street. If you are moving out of a flat above a shop on Gandy Street, there is no kerbside loading bay. You need a driver who already knows where to hold on South Street while crew carry boxes down the stairs.
St Thomas on the west bank of the Exe is a different challenge. Buddle Lane and Cowick Street have parked cars nose to tail most mornings. A last minute removal from here needs a short-wheelbase van and a crew that works in tight rotation, not a large pantechnicon that blocks the road for an hour.
The Cathedral Quarter postcodes EX1 1 and EX1 2 often require a Highways permit for kerb-space use. We handle that paperwork when there is time, and we know which streets allow a brief drop-off loading exception when there is not. Our drivers have covered EX1 to EX4 daily. They know the multi-storey drop on Paul Street, the weight restriction on Okehampton Street, and the resident-only zones in Pennsylvania. That local knowledge is what turns a panicked last-minute call into a job that runs on time.
Call before noon and in most cases we can have a van with you the same afternoon.
After noon, evening slots and early-next-morning start times are usually available across the EX1 to EX6 postcode band. The process is deliberately quick because a last minute removal is not the moment for lengthy paperwork.
You tell us your collection postcode, destination, and a rough list of items.
We give you a fixed quote on the spot. No site survey, no call-back window, no holding music. If you accept, we confirm the crew and van size by text. You can also book through our app, which shows real-time GPS tracking so you know exactly when the van is two streets away.
We keep a fleet of short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase vans staged near Marsh Barton and the Sowton industrial estate.
That means response times into central Exeter, St Leonards, Heavitree, and Pinhoe are consistently short. On a normal weekday we can cover the run from Alphington Road to a Topsham destination without adding more than fifteen minutes to your planned schedule. Speed comes from preparation, not rushing. Our crews load methodically so nothing shifts in transit, even on the tight bends coming down Holloway Street.
All prices below are fixed quotes, not estimates. There is no last-minute surcharge. Prices include crew, van, fuel within the Exeter city zone (EX1-EX6), and full goods-in-transit insurance. Man and van (1 person + van): from £45/hr, billed in half-hour increments after the first hour. Suits small loads, single items, or a studio flat. One-bedroom house removal (Exeter to Exeter): £250 to £400 depending on floor level, access, and total volume. Two-bedroom house removal (Exeter to Exeter): £400 to £650. Three-bedroom house removal (Exeter to Exeter): £650 to £900. House clearance (one-bedroom flat, single van load): £200 to £320. House clearance (three-bedroom, two vans): £600 to £950. Same-day long-distance (Exeter EX1 to Bristol): £450 to £700 depending on access and volume. Packing materials: £18 to £30 for a one-bedroom job. Included within the quoted price when booked as part of a full removal. Stairs: no surcharge up to four flights. Specialist items (pianos, safes, items over 200 kg): fee declared before booking, never added after the fact. Parking permit suspensions (Exeter City Council): passed on at cost with no mark-up.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Get your exact priceA man with a van Exeter service suits students moving between halls, professionals relocating a home office from Whipton to Newtown, or anyone shifting a sofa, a wardrobe, or a set of shelves at short notice.
That covers the driver, the van, fuel, and full goods-in-transit insurance. You do not pay a separate fuel surcharge for Exeter city runs. The half-hour increment protects you on short jobs: a studio flat clearance in Mount Pleasant or a few boxes from Polsloe Road rarely runs longer than ninety minutes, and you pay only for what is used.
One trained crew member with trolleys and furniture blankets can clear a bedroom in Pennsylvania or a box room in Heavitree without the cost of a two-person crew. If the job grows once we arrive, we can call a second crew member from our Exeter pool on the same booking. That flexibility matters when you booked at ten minutes' notice and are not entirely sure what still needs to go.

House clearance in Exeter often comes up without warning.
A probate property needs clearing before the estate agent visits on Thursday.
A landlord needs a vacated rental in Wonford emptied by Friday afternoon.
A family member needs items removed from sheltered accommodation in Countess Wear before the room is reassigned.
These are not situations where you can wait a fortnight for a scheduled clearance firm.
Giant Van offers same-day and next-day clearance across Exeter's EX1 to EX4 postcodes.
We remove furniture, white goods, general household items, and bagged rubbish in a single trip where the volume allows.
Items in good condition are offered to local reuse partners before anything goes to the Pinbrook Road Household Waste Recycling Centre.
That keeps disposal costs lower and reduces landfill.
Clearance pricing depends on van size and load weight.
A single van load covering most of a one-bedroom flat in Burnthouse Lane typically falls between £200 and £320.
A full three-bedroom clearance in Pinhoe requiring two vans and a full day of crew time ranges from £600 to £950.
We give you a fixed quote before starting.
No revised invoices once we have seen the property.
If the load is lighter than expected, we adjust the price down, not up.

“Best removal service I've used”

Giant Van does not apply surge pricing at weekends or on bank holidays. The rates below are what you will actually pay.
One-bedroom house removal from Heavitree to St Thomas: £250 to £320. Two-bedroom house from St Leonards to Topsham: £400 to £550. Three-bedroom house from Pennsylvania to Pinhoe: £650 to £850. These figures include crew, van, fuel within Exeter city, and full goods-in-transit insurance.
A same-day two-bedroom move from EX1 to a Bristol postcode typically costs £450 to £700 depending on access at both ends and the total volume.
Piano moves, safes, and items over 200 kg carry a specialist handling fee that is always declared before booking. Parking tickets on restricted streets are covered by Giant Van when we are driving. If you need us to pre-book a parking suspension in Exeter City Council's system, that official permit fee is passed on at cost with no mark-up.
The right van makes a short-notice removal work.
Too large and you cannot get down the back lanes behind Fore Street. Too small and you need two trips when one would do. Our van centre Exeter operation keeps three sizes ready for same-day dispatch.
The small Luton is our workhorse for studio and one-bedroom jobs in the city centre postcodes EX1 1 and EX1 2.
It fits on most Exeter kerbsides and can use the short-stay bay on Queen Street for a twenty-minute load. The standard long-wheelbase Transit suits two and three-bedroom moves across the wider EX1 to EX4 band. The large Luton with tail-lift handles heavy items, white goods, and the kind of multi-flight stair removal that needs mechanical assist.
All vans in the fleet carry furniture blankets, strapping, and moving dollies as standard.
There is no hire charge for equipment. Crew members are trained in load security, and every van has GPS tracking that feeds the customer app in real time. You can see the van leaving our staging point near Marsh Barton and watch its progress through Alphington, up Cowick Street, and to your door. On a last minute removal where stress is already high, that visibility matters. You know the crew is on the way. You do not need to chase a phone number.
Booked 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.
The 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.
Our 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.

Same-Day Last Minute Help Operations, Giant Van Driver
A last minute move rarely comes with time to pack properly. Giant Van offers a rapid pack service alongside the removal. One crew member packs while the other loads the van. On a one-bedroom flat in Newtown this typically adds forty-five minutes to the job. On a two-bedroom house in Heavitree it adds around ninety minutes. The time saving versus packing alone the night before is usually significant.
We carry double-wall boxes in small, medium, and large sizes, bubble wrap for fragile items, and wardrobe transit boxes that keep hanging clothes crease-free. Materials are charged at cost: a typical one-bedroom pack uses twelve to eighteen boxes and costs between £18 and £30 in materials. That is far less than the premium charged by dedicated packing-supply retailers on Marsh Barton Road.
Fragile packing follows a documented process. Glasses and crockery are individually wrapped. Artwork and mirrors go into custom mirror boxes. Electronics travel in original packaging where available, and in foam-lined boxes where not. If something breaks in transit because of a packing failure on our part, our insurance covers it. That coverage applies to the rapid pack service exactly as it does to standard bookings. There is no reduced-liability clause for urgent jobs.

UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Our most frequent call-out areas and their typical considerations are set out below.
Parking is permit-controlled but loading exemptions apply for short durations. Double-yellow lines on the main road mean we park on the residential side street and carry items out.
We see a surge of last minute calls from Heavitree in late June and early September. If you are moving at term end, book before 8 am for best same-day availability.
Barton Road and Pennsylvania Road itself require a short-wheelbase van on busy days. Our crews know the safest approach routes from the New North Road direction.
The quay area has weight restrictions on Fore Street. We access quayside properties via the Monmouth Street approach during loading hours.
Fast access makes it ideal for long-distance same-day jobs that start in central Exeter.
Add insurance (often excluded from the base rate or carrying a £1,000 excess), fuel, and the time spent locating parking on Gandy Street or negotiating the one-way system around the Cathedral Quarter, and the price climbs fast. If you do not know that Holloway Street has a weight restriction or that Pennsylvania Road requires a short-wheelbase van, you find out the hard way.
Carrying a double wardrobe down two flights of Victorian stairs in St Leonards on your own, on the day a tenancy ends, is a serious injury risk. Removals-related back injuries are the most common cause of same-day urgent GP visits among people in the 25 to 45 age group in the UK.
The crew carries the weight. You direct the operation. On a one-bedroom Exeter job the price difference between DIY and Giant Van is often less than £50, sometimes nothing at all once the self-drive extras are counted. The time saving is usually two to four hours. The injury risk is zero.
Exeter is a compact city but it is not a simple one.
The combination of medieval street patterns in the centre, Victorian terracing in St Leonards and Heavitree, and modern estates in Pinhoe and Sowton means that last minute removals here require genuine local knowledge.
Giant Van has been covering EX1 to EX6 long enough to know which streets need a permit call before 9 am, which hills require a two-person crew, and which postcode zones are fast to reach from our Marsh Barton staging point.
That knowledge is what you are booking when you call 020 3129 6180.
Do not let a last minute move become a last minute disaster.
Giant Van provides fixed quotes, same-day crews, and fully insured vehicles across all Exeter postcodes.
If you need a man with a van for a few boxes or a full house clearance in Exeter completed by end of day, we are ready to move.
