From Enquiry to Man and Van in Newham

1. 1
   Many Newham residents consider hiring a self-drive van instead of using a man and van service.

   Here is what that comparison actually looks like for a typical E15 or E6 move.

2. 2
   A self-drive van hire in Newham costs between £60 and £120 per day for a medium transit.

   Add insurance at £20 to £40 per day, fuel for a local move at £15 to £30, and equipment such as trolleys and straps at £10 to £20. The total cost before you start moving is £105 to £190.

3. 3
   You also need at least one other person to help carry items, which means either paying a friend or relying on a favour.
4. 4
   Giant Van's man and van service in Newham starts from £48 for a single-item job and £120 for a one-bedroom flat move.

   That price includes the driver, a second crew member for larger jobs, all equipment, and full insurance. You do not drive. You do not lift. You do not worry about damaging a hire van and losing your deposit.

5. 5
   For access-sensitive Newham streets, a professional driver already knows the loading restrictions on Barking Road, the height barriers in E16 new-builds, and the market day closures on Green Street.

   A self-hire does not come with that knowledge.

6. 6
   For most Newham moves of one bedroom or more, a professional man and van service is cheaper in practice and significantly less stressful than self-hire.

   The cost difference is small. The difference in experience is significant.
