DIY Long-Distance Move from Plymouth vs Giant Van
Plymouth's position at England's south-western tip means long-distance moves tend to travel north or east — there is nowhere further south or west to go on the UK mainland.
The A38 Devon Expressway is a fast dual carriageway connecting Plymouth to Exeter in 45 minutes on a clear day.
From Exeter the M5 opens up routes to Bristol, Birmingham, and Manchester.
Our Plymouth teams are experienced on all these corridors and manage the loading sequence to ensure heavy items are packed last and unloaded first at the destination.
Plymouth long-distance removals with Giant Van connect south-west England to the rest of the UK.
Our PL postcode teams have driven every major route from the city — up the A38 to Exeter, north on the M5 to Bristol and Birmingham, east across the M4 to London, south-west over the Tamar to Cornwall.
The two-driver option for routes over 300 miles is a service decision based on safety — fatigued single drivers on very long routes are the primary cause of delayed arrivals and accidents in the removal industry.
Giant Van does not allow single-driver same-day operations for routes exceeding five hours.
