Truro Man and Van Service From £45
Truro is Cornwall's only city, and it has its own set of moving challenges. The compact medieval street grid around Boscawen Street and King Street makes large removal lorries impractical for many jobs. A man and van is the right tool for the task.
Same-Day AvailableTrained Team
Giant Van operates a fleet of Transit-sized vans across Truro and the surrounding TR postcode area. If you are moving a single item from a flat in Malpas Road or relocating a full two-bedroom house in Trelander, we match the right vehicle and crew to your job.
Our prices start at £45 for small single-item moves. A typical studio or one-bedroom flat move in Truro falls in the £120 to £220 range, depending on access, distance, and floor level. Two-bedroom house moves generally run £250 to £400. Every quote is fixed before we arrive, so there are no surprises on the day.
We cover all types of moves from Truro. Student moves between term-time addresses, flat clearances, furniture deliveries to shops along Lemon Street, and full residential relocations to other parts of Cornwall or beyond. Our teams are trained to handle staircases, tight hallways, and awkward corridors.
Book by phone on , through our app, or via the website. You will receive a written confirmation within minutes. Same-day availability is offered seven days a week, subject to van availability in the Truro area.
Access and Road Conditions in Truro
Truro's road layout is unlike most UK cities.
The historic centre developed along a river valley, which means many streets are narrow, one-directional, or constrained by steep gradients. Our drivers know these roads well, and that knowledge saves time and avoids costly mistakes.
The Pannier Market area off Back Quay and the streets leading up to Cathedral Close are frequently congested between 8am and 10am and again from 4pm to 6pm.
We plan collections and deliveries in these zones outside peak windows wherever possible.
Parking for loading is a known problem in central Truro.
Pydar Street and Victoria Square have short-stay bays that we can use for quick loading, but properties on streets like Calenick Street or St Clement Street often require us to double-park briefly. Our drivers carry hazard signs and cones and operate within Cornwall Council's regulations for temporary loading stops.
Truro has several residential estates on higher ground, including Pencalenick and the developments off Threemilestone Road to the west of the city.
These areas have wider access and estate roads that are straightforward for our vans, but properties on the older roads nearer to Newham Industrial Estate and the River Fal require more careful route planning.
The A390 is the main artery in and out of Truro, connecting to Redruth, Bodmin, and the A30.
Our drivers use this route for long-distance legs and plan local Truro navigation based on your specific collection and delivery postcodes. Just provide your full address when booking and we handle the rest.

Get your exact price5 Tips for a Smooth Move in Truro
6 Tips
These five tips come directly from our drivers' experience working in the city.
If you live in the TR1 core, contact Cornwall Council at least 72 hours before your move date to request a temporary suspension on your street. This removes the risk of other vehicles blocking our van during loading. Our office can advise on the process if needed.
Truro holds a farmers' market on Wednesday and Saturday on Lemon Quay. Traffic volumes and parking around High Cross and the Cathedral area increase significantly on those days. Moves starting before 8am or after 2pm on market days flow much better.
Our man and van service is based on time and vehicle. The faster we can load, the lower your final cost. Have boxes sealed, taped, and stacked near the front door or in the hallway before your crew arrives.
Many period properties in Truro, particularly the terraced houses on Kenwyn Street and around Trennick Lane, have stairwells under 80cm wide. Measure sofas, wardrobes, and mattresses before the move date. We can advise on disassembly when needed.
Basement flats and ground-floor conversions in converted Victorian houses are common in Truro. If your property has a tradesman's entrance, a rear yard, or a lane at the back, sharing that detail at booking means we arrive with the right plan and no delays.

We operate across all TR postcodes and regularly take long-distance jobs from Truro to other parts of the UK.
Within Truro city and its immediate outskirts, we cover: TR1 (city centre, Malpas, Newham, Trelander, Kenwyn), TR2 (St Mawes, Tregony, Portloe, Veryan, Philleigh), and the broader TR postcode area.
We also serve the following towns and villages within easy reach of Truro: Threemilestone, Shortlanesend, Perranwell Station, Playing Place, Carnon Downs, Kea, Come-to-Good, and Mylor Bridge.

A Note From Our Truro Man and Van Team
Verified DriverTruro Man and Van Operations
We know Truro Man and Van well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Truro Man and Van depends on it.

Why Truro Residents Choose Giant Van
We do not ask you to take our word for it. Here is what makes Giant Van different from other man and van options in Truro.
Same-day service is available seven days a week. If you have a last-minute move, a storage deadline, or a furniture delivery that cannot wait, call before noon and we will do our best to get a crew to you the same day. Many man and van operators in Cornwall require 48 to 72 hours' notice. We do not.
Instant, fixed quotes mean you know the total cost before we arrive. We do not quote by the hour and then let the clock run. Every job is assessed and priced before the team sets off, so you budget with confidence.
GPS tracking on every van gives you real-time visibility. You are never left wondering where your driver is or whether they are on time. This matters when you are coordinating with a landlord in Truro city centre or a conveyancing solicitor managing completion on a new-build.
Fully insured goods in transit protects everything from your kitchen appliances to your artwork. Moving in Cornwall can involve rural lanes and sharp bends. Our insurance covers the journey from collection to delivery, not just time spent on a motorway.
App booking takes under three minutes. For customers who prefer not to call, the Giant Van app allows you to specify your move, upload photos of large items, confirm your address, and pay. Everything is handled digitally, including sign-off at delivery.
Our crews are experienced with Truro's specific access challenges. Narrow lanes around Trennick, the steep approach to Kenwyn Church Road, and the loading restrictions on Back Quay are not surprises to us. They are part of how we plan every job.

Best Times to Book a Man and Van in Truro
6 Tips
Here is what our data from Cornwall jobs tells us.
The city is quiet at this time, parking is easier on streets like Calenick Street and Tregolls Road, and there is less competition for loading space. If you can arrange a morning start, you will almost always finish earlier than expected.
The combination of weekend leisure traffic, summer tourism, and city commuters makes the A390 around the Threemilestone roundabout and the approach to the park-and-ride site at Langarth significantly congested. A job that takes 45 minutes on a Tuesday morning can take two hours on a Friday at 4pm.
If you need a Saturday, book at least five to seven days ahead to secure your preferred time. Sunday slots are generally quieter and often available with shorter notice.
Tenancy agreements and property completions cluster around the last and first days of each month. Booking mid-month, even if it means adjusting your tenancy end date slightly, often means better availability and a less pressured move day.
If you are moving at the start or end of an academic term, book your Truro man and van at least two weeks in advance. Call to check availability or use our app for an instant quote at any time.
Man and Van vs Full Removals: Which Do You Need in Truro?
3 Tips
A man and van is the right choice for studio flats, single-bedroom properties, small offices, and any job where you can pack your own belongings. It is faster to book, lower in cost, and better suited to Truro's narrow central streets where large lorries cannot access.
Our full removals service in Truro starts at £250 and scales with property size and distance.
We will ask a few questions about your property and load, and recommend the right service. There is no pressure to upgrade. If a man and van can handle the job, we will tell you so.
