What Giant Van Brings to Long-Distance Removals
A 2 bedroom home typically holds between 200 and 350 cubic feet of furniture and packed boxes. That volume needs a large luton van or a 3.5-tonne box van for a single-load long distance removal. Giant Van operates both across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Long distance removals differ from local moves in one key way: recovery time is zero. If the van breaks down in Leeds at 2pm and your new landlord in Plymouth expects keys by 4pm, you need a team with backup vehicles and live communication.
Every Giant Van booking includes a dedicated driver, a co-loader, and real-time GPS tracking shared to your phone.
Our long distance removals UK pricing for a 2 bedroom home starts from £500. There are no hidden fuel surcharges for journeys up to 300 miles. For routes over 300 miles such as London to Inverness or Cardiff to Newcastle, an additional fuel supplement applies and is confirmed in your instant quote before you book.
We also offer a half-load option for lighter 2 bedroom moves where the total volume sits under 150 cubic feet. Half-load pricing starts from £320 and suits studio-to-2-bed transitions or moves where one occupant has already shifted most items ahead of time.
Book via the Giant Van app, by phone on, or through the online quote form. You receive a fixed price with no mileage surprises on collection day.
Long Distance 2 Bedroom Removal Prices
Long distance removals for a 2 bedroom home start from £500 for a single full load up to 300 miles. Half-load moves start from £320. Packing services add from £150. Furniture dismantling and reassembly is £25 per item. Same-day long distance bookings start from £80 surcharge on the base rate.
Message us in the live chat or use the app for an instant quote based on your specific route and inventory.
All prices include a fully insured driver, van, and basic protection. Packing materials available.
Work Out Your Moving CostOn-Site Logistics for Long-Distance Removals
Long distance removals across the UK involve access challenges at both ends of the journey, not just at your London flat.
Understanding these conditions helps us quote accurately and arrive without delays.
In inner London, large luton vans (over 3.5 metres in height) cannot enter the Congestion Charge Zone between 07:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday without a £15 daily charge.
We factor this into your quote automatically.
Narrow streets in Hackney (E8, E9), Bermondsey's Tanner Street area (SE1), and parts of Islington around Barnsbury Street (N1) restrict turning radius for longer vans.
Our drivers use 6-metre box vans for these postcodes rather than 7.5-tonne vehicles.
At the destination end, common access issues we handle include:
New-build estates with temporary road closures, particularly in Manchester's Ancoats (M4) and Edinburgh's Leith docklands (EH6)
Cobbled or sett-paved streets such as Glasgow's Merchant City (G1) that restrict parking for large vehicles to designated bays only
Stairwell height restrictions in pre-war tenement blocks common to Leeds's Hyde Park (LS6) and Cardiff's Roath (CF24), where furniture must be dismantled to pass through
Rural delivery points with single-track lanes, especially on routes into Cornwall (TR postcodes) and the Scottish Highlands (IV and PH postcodes)
Tell us your destination postcode when you book.
Our route planning team checks access restrictions 24 hours before your move and contacts you if a smaller relay vehicle is needed for the final leg. This prevents last-minute surprises and keeps your move on schedule.

Long-Distance Removals: Advice to Save Time and Stress
These five steps apply specifically to 2 bedroom homes moving over 50 miles.
Long distance slots fill faster than local bookings because the crew and van are out of the depot for a full day or overnight. Call early to secure your preferred date.
On a 6-hour drive your crew will unload faster and place boxes directly in the correct room when labels are clear. Use coloured tape per room: one colour for bedroom 1, another for bedroom 2, a third for the kitchen.
These items take up 40% more van space assembled. Our crew can dismantle on the day for £25 per item, but pre-dismantling saves both space and time on a long distance job where every cubic foot counts.
A fridge transported with ice still inside can spill water over boxes and mattresses during a 5-hour journey. This is one of the most common damage claims on long distance removals and is entirely preventable.
In cities like Sheffield (S1-S10), Bristol (BS1-BS8), and Nottingham (NG1-NG7), parking bays require advance council permits for large vans. Giant Van's operations team can advise on permit applications but cannot apply on your behalf. Give yourself at least 5 working days to arrange a bay suspension.

Long Distance 2 Bedroom Removals Across the UK — FAQs
How much does a long distance 2 bedroom removal cost in the UK?
Long distance removals for a 2 bedroom home start from £500 with Giant Van for routes up to 300 miles. Routes over 300 miles carry a fuel supplement shown clearly in your instant quote. Packing services start from £150 extra. Get a fixed price in under 2 minutes via the Giant Van app or call.
How far in advance should I book a long distance removal?
For weekday moves, book at least 10 days ahead. For weekend moves, allow 21 days, particularly during June to September when demand peaks. Giant Van offers same-day long distance bookings on routes up to 250 miles if you message us before 09:00, subject to van availability.
Booking early gives you first choice of start time, which matters for routes over 200 miles where an early departure avoids afternoon traffic at the destination.
Do long distance movers cover Scotland and Wales?
Yes. Giant Van covers long distance removals to all postcodes in Scotland and Wales. Popular routes include London to Edinburgh (EH postcodes), London to Glasgow (G postcodes), and Bristol to Cardiff (CF postcodes). Routes into the Scottish Highlands (IV, PH, KW postcodes) and Outer Hebrides (HS) may require overnight stays or relay vehicles.
These are confirmed and priced transparently in your quote before you book.
Is my furniture insured during a long distance removal?
Yes. These are not optional extras. They are included in every long distance removal quote. Insurance certificates are available on request before or after your booking. Items of very high value (over £2,500 per item) should be declared at booking for specific cover confirmation.
Can I track my van during a long distance move?
Yes. Every long distance removal includes live GPS tracking. At the point of departure your driver sends a tracking link to your phone via SMS. You can share that link with anyone who needs to know the van's location, including family or a letting agent at the destination. The driver also calls you 30 minutes before arrival.
You never have to guess where your belongings are during a long distance journey with Giant Van.
What is the difference between long distance removals and a long distance delivery service?
A long distance removal handles your full home contents with a trained crew who load, transport, and unload everything at the destination. A long distance delivery service typically covers single items or palletised goods without crew assistance at either end.
For a 2 bedroom home, you need a full removal service with two crew members, not a courier or delivery van. Giant Van provides full-crew long distance removals, not pallet delivery.
Do you offer packing for long distance moves?
Yes. Full packing is available from £150 and can be booked as an add-on when you confirm your removal. The packing crew arrives the morning of the move or the day before and packs all loose items into boxes supplied by Giant Van.
This is strongly recommended for long distance moves over 200 miles where journey time increases the risk of loose or poorly packed items shifting in transit. Add packing when booking via the app or call.
What happens if my move runs late on a long distance job?
Your booking includes up to 2 hours loading time and 2 hours unloading time. If loading overruns due to items not on the original inventory, additional time is charged at £35 per 30 minutes and agreed with you on the spot before the crew continue.
For long distance jobs, the driver manages the schedule to ensure arrival before agreed handover times. If unexpected delays such as motorway closures arise, the driver contacts you directly and updates the ETA via the tracking link in real time.
