How to Choose Your London Man and Van Date
Man With Van vs Full Removal Company for London Moves
Want to hire a van in London without the hassle of driving it yourself?
Giant Van provides the van and the driver.
Our transit vans suit studio and one-bed flat moves.
Luton vans handle two-bed flats and small houses.
For larger properties, two-van teams are available.
Every hire includes insurance, fuel, blankets, and loading assistance.
London traffic is unpredictable, so all quotes are based on a realistic time estimate, not an optimistic one.

Giant Van's London crews handle studio flat moves in Clapham, eBay sofa collections in Peckham, Barbican Estate tower-block moves, and last-day tenancy clearances in Walthamstow every week.
The quoted price covers fuel, Congestion Charge, ULEZ, and insurance.
