Inside the Long-Distance Removals Service
Long distance moving services for 1 bedroom homes are straightforward from a logistics standpoint.
The contents, typically a bed, wardrobe, sofa, desk, kitchen items, and 20 to 30 boxes, fit in a Luton van.
Giant Van quotes a single fixed price covering fuel, driver time, and crew for the full distance.
A typical London-to-Manchester 1 bed move takes 5 to 7 hours door to door and costs from £350 to £550 depending on loading complexity and time of year.

Everything in Your Long-Distance Removals Quote
Planning a long distance moving service for a 1 bedroom property requires more advance preparation than a local move.
Book Giant Van at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead for long-distance 1 bed jobs, especially for moves covering 100 miles or more.
Confirm your completion date with your solicitor or tenancy end date with your landlord before locking in the removal date.
Long-distance moves are harder to reschedule at short notice.
Prepare an accurate inventory of large items so the crew brings the right van.
A 1 bedroom long-distance move requires a Luton van in almost all cases: the additional mileage means a second trip due to undersizing is not practical.
Giant Van's long distance moving service is priced as a single fixed amount regardless of whether traffic adds an hour to the journey.
The price you agree is the price you pay.
