Luton sits at the M1's northern edge before it enters the capital's orbit, making last minute van hire on the London route one of our most common requests.

To hire a luton van from Luton to London, our drivers typically take the M1 south to the North Circular or the A1 through Barnet.

Journey time off-peak is under an hour.

Last minute bookings on this route are usually possible with two to three hours' notice.

Luton and Beyond: Last Minute Removals Coverage

A last minute moving company in Luton works faster when you have done the groundwork.
If there is any time at all before the crew arrives, put loose items into bags or boxes rather than leaving them as individual pieces.
This reduces the number of trips between property and van.
Label boxes with room names if possible — it speeds up the unload at the other end.
Appliances should have their hoses disconnected.
Flat-pack furniture that can be broken down in under ten minutes is worth doing in advance.
Giant Van's crew carries packing materials and can wrap items that need protection, but the fastest last minute moves happen when clients have done some basic preparation before we arrive.
