Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Reliable Man and Van for Exeter
With Rent a Van Exeter, 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.
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.
Smart Man and Van Route Planning in Exeter
If you need Exeter Man with Van, 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 message us in the live chat, our team will ask about your specific address and plan the right approach.

Work Out Your Moving CostExeter Man and Van: The Preparation Playbook
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.
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.
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.

Giant Van operations
Man and Van Experience in Exeter You Can Count On
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.
