Man and Van Exeter: What This Service Covers
A man and van Exeter service is a straightforward, cost-effective way to move items without hiring a full removals lorry. At Giant Van, one or two trained movers arrive with a large, clean van, load your belongings carefully, transport them to your new address, and unload on arrival. It works for most residential and light commercial moves.
Fixed PriceTrained Team
This service suits flats, student lets, single rooms, and small two-bedroom homes. If you are leaving a rented property on Sidwell Street, moving from university halls near Streatham Campus, or clearing a workshop unit on Marsh Barton Trading Estate, a man and van provides the right level of resource without unnecessary cost.
Prices for a man and van in Exeter start at £45 for a short local job and run up to £300 for larger loads or longer distances. Full house removals start at £250 and reach £850 depending on property size, access, and travel distance. Office moves range from £300 to £600. All prices include the van, equipment, and at least one skilled mover. No hidden charges apply.
We carry furniture blankets, packing straps, and trolleys in every van as standard. This means your wardrobe, washing machine, or flat-screen television is protected throughout the journey. Our drivers know Exeter roads well, from the narrow lanes around Cathedral Close to the busier routes along the A379 towards Topsham.
Exeter Access and Parking: What You Need to Know Before Moving Day
Exeter has its share of tricky access points, and planning for them saves time on the day.
The city centre has active pedestrian zones around High Street and Fore Street where vehicle access is restricted between certain hours. If you are moving from a flat above a shop in this area, you will need to check the permitted access window with the council before booking.
Parking is another common challenge.
On residential streets like Heavitree Road, Pinhoe Road, and Pennsylvania Road, on-street parking can be tight, especially in the mornings. If no loading bay is available near your address, we recommend applying to Devon County Council for a temporary parking suspension at least five working days before your move date. Giant Van can advise you on this during the booking call.
St Thomas and Burnthouse Lane have steady traffic flow during school run hours between 8am and 9am and again from 3pm to 4pm.
Scheduling your collection outside these windows speeds up loading considerably. In newer developments such as Cranbrook, road widths are generally more van-friendly, though access to some plots may require careful positioning.
Listed buildings in the Cathedral Quarter and around Southernhay sometimes have restrictions on heavy vehicles.
Always confirm access requirements with your estate agent or landlord before booking. When you call , our team will ask about your specific address and plan the right approach.

Get your exact pricePacking Tips for a Smooth Exeter Move
4 Tips
Start packing non-essential items at least a week before your move date. Label every box clearly on the top and on one side with the destination room, not just the contents. This lets the movers place boxes in the correct room straight away rather than stacking them in one place and sorting later.
Use small boxes for books and heavier items, and leave larger boxes for bedding, pillows, and lightweight kitchenware. Fragile items such as crockery, glasses, and picture frames benefit from individual wrapping in bubble wrap or thick clothing. Place heavier items at the bottom of each box and fill gaps with packing paper to prevent movement.
Removing legs from sofas and beds reduces the dimensions enough to get through standard doorways without scratching paintwork. Keep all screws and fittings together in a labelled zip-lock bag taped to the relevant piece.
A freezer that still contains ice can drip during transit and affect other items. Clean out your fridge the evening before. If you are moving appliances such as washing machines, the drum should be secured with transit bolts. If you no longer have them, let us know when you call and we will advise the best approach for safe transport.

Why Exeter Residents Choose Giant Van
Giant Van has built a reputation for punctuality, fair pricing, and straightforward communication. Exeter has a mix of older terraced houses, modern new-builds, and student accommodation, and each requires a slightly different approach. Our team is experienced with all of them.
Several things set us apart from other man and van operators in Exeter. First, we provide written fixed-price quotes rather than hourly estimates that can balloon on the day. Second, our vans are fitted with GPS tracking so we can give you accurate arrival updates without you having to chase. Third, we do not outsource jobs to third-party drivers, so the person who quotes your job is part of the same team that shows up on move day.
We also carry full goods-in-transit insurance on every job. This is not a standard inclusion with every man and van provider in the city, so it is worth confirming when you compare quotes. Our policy covers items up to their replacement value during loading, transport, and unloading.
Our team handles students, families, and businesses equally well. We have moved single rooms from student houses near Queen Street and full office fit-outs from Pynes Hill Business Park. Each job gets the same level of attention regardless of size. For a reliable, price-transparent man and van Exeter service, call and speak to someone who knows the city.

Best Times to Book a Man and Van in Exeter
5 Tips
The busiest periods for man and van bookings in Exeter follow predictable patterns, and understanding them helps you plan ahead and secure the best price.
If you are moving during these windows, booking at least two to three weeks in advance is strongly recommended.
This is because most tenancy agreements end on the last day of the month. Mid-month moves on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday tend to be the most available slots and occasionally carry a lower price as demand is lighter.
September is also busy as new academic and professional contracts often start then. Winter months from November through January are the quietest. If your move is flexible, a mid-week booking in November or February can be among the most affordable options available.
Out-of-hours and early morning slots are available on request. Call to check current availability and lock in your preferred date before it is taken.
