How We Handle Long-Distance Removals in Birmingham
For Cheap Long Distance Removals Birmingham, movers covering long-distance routes from Birmingham operate from one of the UK's best motorway positions.
The M6 north reaches Manchester in 85 miles and Scotland in four to five hours.
The M40 south reaches London in 120 miles.
The M5 south reaches Bristol in 90 miles and the South West coast in three hours.
Giant Van's Birmingham-based long-distance teams use these routes daily — optimising departure times to avoid the M6 Spaghetti Junction peak-hour congestion (6 to 9 am and 4 to 7 pm) and the M40/M42 interchange around Solihull.
For moves to London, Fridays are avoided unless explicitly requested — the M40 south on a Friday afternoon can add 90 minutes to the journey.
How We Reach Properties for Birmingham Long-Distance Removals
Removal vans for long-distance Birmingham moves need appropriate capacity.
A one-bedroom flat in Edgbaston (B15) with full furniture typically fills a large Transit (400 cubic feet).
A three-bedroom semi in Handsworth (B21) or Hall Green (B28) will need a Luton van (600 cubic feet) or, for larger homes, a 7.5t Luton with 900 cubic feet.
Giant Van operates Luton vans with tail lifts for long-distance Birmingham bookings.
All vehicles are equipped with ratchet straps, furniture blankets, and appliance dollies.
For piano or large safe moves, specialist equipment is available on request.

The Birmingham Long-Distance Removals Promise
Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12.
The Birmingham CAZ (Class D, £8 per day for non-compliant vans inside the A4540 Middleway) does not apply to our fleet — Giant Van is fully compliant, so the price you receive is the complete price.

For Jewellery Quarter (B18 and B19) collections, our drivers use the post-6 pm unrestricted loading option on weekdays or the Hockley Circus approach for daytime cobbled-street access.
Fuel to the destination — whether that is London (120 miles via M40), Manchester (85 miles via M6), or Edinburgh (270 miles) — is included in the fixed price.
Written quotes are fixed from the point of issue with no fuel surcharge, toll addition, or overtime.
