Properties We Cover in Inverness
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What Inverness Man and Van Includes
For Jacks Van Hire Inverness, Inverness is the only city in the Highlands, and it has grown quickly over the past decade. Crown, Merkinch, Dalneigh, Raigmore and Scorguie each have different housing stock, from Victorian terraces on Crown Road to 1970s council semis off Telford Street. That variety matters when you are booking a man and van.
Our IV1, IV2 and IV3 coverage includes every residential ward in the city. We handle single-item lifts, studio flat removals and small office clearances. Prices for a man and van in Inverness start at £45 for a short single-item job and reach £300 for longer, multi-load days.
We also run long-distance collections from Inverness to central Scotland and beyond. If you are relocating south on the A9, our long-distance rate starts from £500. Same-day van hire in Inverness starts from £80 when you need someone at short notice.
Inverness: Tight Access for Man and Van Sorted
Looking for Express Man and Van Inverness?
Inverness has a handful of access quirks that catch people out. The city centre around Church Street and Union Street is busy with delivery lorries until 9 am. We book jobs in the centre from 9:30 am onwards to avoid blocking traffic on Bridge Street and Academy Street.
Merkinch, north of the river, has several dead-end streets off Telford Street where a full-length Luton van cannot turn.
We use a medium wheelbase Transit for those streets and never send a curtainsider. The same applies to the tighter lanes around Dalneigh Road and Diriebught Road.
The Caledonian Canal bridge at Tomnahurich lifts on a timetable.
If your collection or delivery is west of the canal, near Scorguie or Bunchrew, we factor in potential bridge delays. Snow and ice on the B9006 and B9090 between October and April can add 20 to 30 minutes to rural Highland pick-ups.
We always confirm road conditions the morning of your job.

UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Man and Van Timing and Pricing in Inverness
Knowing these helps you plan.
The city centre around Bank Street and the Ness Islands area sees heavy footfall. Parking exemptions near the Cathedral and Victorian Quarter are harder to secure at short notice. Book at least a week ahead for any city-centre job in this period.
If you need an affordable man and van in Inverness during those weeks, book two weeks out.
The A9 south of Inverness, the B862 along Loch Ness and the rural roads into Strathnairn can be icy. We monitor road conditions overnight and call you if a delay is likely.
Same-day man and van bookings in Inverness are most available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings throughout the year.

Book via the app or start a live chat to check what slots are open today.
Which Inverness postcodes do you cover?
We cover all Inverness postcodes including IV1, IV2 and IV3. That includes Crown, Merkinch, Dalneigh, Raigmore, Scorguie, Hilton, Culcabock and the city centre. We also serve Nairn (IV12), Beauly (IV4), Dingwall (IV15), Culloden (IV2) and Aviemore (PH22). Call if your postcode is outside this list and we will advise on coverage and pricing.
Are your drivers fully insured for removals in Inverness?
Yes. Every Giant Van driver operating in Inverness carries full goods-in-transit insurance and public liability cover. Your belongings are protected from the moment they leave your property until they arrive at the destination address. We also carry furniture blankets on every vehicle to protect doors, banisters and skirting boards during the move.
Can you move a piano in Inverness?
Yes. Piano removals in Inverness cost between £150 and £400 depending on the size of the instrument and the floor it needs to be moved from. Upright pianos on ground floors are at the lower end of the range.
Grand pianos or instruments on upper floors in tenement-style properties, common in the Crown area of IV2, require specialist equipment and two crew members and sit at the higher end.
How do I track my driver on the day?
Once your booking is confirmed, the Giant Van app shows live GPS tracking of your driver from the moment they set off. You can see the van's position on a map in real time. You will receive a notification when the driver is 15 minutes away. No need to call and check.
The tracking remains active until the job is complete and payment is settled.
What is the best time to book a man and van in Inverness?
Weekday mornings between 9 am and noon are the least congested window in Inverness. Avoid city-centre jobs in summer without pre-booked parking. Book at least two weeks ahead for late August and late May when student removals around the University of the Highlands and Islands campus create high demand.
For same-day jobs, Tuesday to Thursday mornings have the most reliable availability throughout the year.
Do you charge extra for long-distance removals from Inverness?
Long-distance removals from Inverness, for example to Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen via the A9, start from £500. This covers a single load with one driver and van. An overnight service is available from £400 for very early morning deliveries to central Scotland. All long-distance prices are fixed and quoted upfront.
