Removal Services Edinburgh

Giant Van runs Transit and Luton vehicles for Edinburgh removals — both fully equipped with furniture blankets, straps, and tail lifts.

For overnight moves, we confirm van size at booking so there are no trips back for a second load at 2am.

Edinburgh is compact enough that most city moves are done in one run.

Stockbridge, Morningside, Leith, Portobello — we know the layouts and where to park legally without blocking residents.

All items are covered under our goods-in-transit insurance throughout.

You get a fixed price before the crew arrives, not an estimate that grows once you hand over your keys.

Edinburgh during the day presents specific removal challenges that overnight moves sidestep entirely.

New Town permit zones operate between 8am and 6pm on weekdays and Saturdays — overnight loading before 7am and after 6pm avoids permit requirements entirely on many streets.

The city centre's tourist traffic peaks mid-morning, which blocks van access on the Royal Mile and Grassmarket areas from around 10am.

Edinburgh Festival in August — when the city's population can temporarily exceed twice its usual 550,000 — creates conditions where a daytime move near the Meadows, Newington, or Bruntsfield requires serious pre-planning.

Overnight moves in August sidestep the worst of this.

In Leith, the Shore's parking situation is also more manageable after 7pm than during the lunchtime and early-evening restaurant rush.

For tenants on tight handover windows — where one tenancy ends and another begins at noon — overnight loading means belongings are out of the old property before the handover time, not rushing to finish at 11:45am.

Giant Van's overnight removal services in Edinburgh are priced the same as daytime jobs.
