Why Edinburgh City Centre Moves Need a Specialist
Edinburgh City Centre is one of the most challenging places to move in Scotland. The Old Town's steep closes and narrow wynds were built for pedestrians, not removals lorries. The New Town's Georgian streets often have permit-controlled parking restrictions on key roads like Queen Street, Heriot Row, and Drummond Place. Loading bays on Princes Street and George Street are timed and enforced. Get the timing or the vehicle size wrong and your move stalls before it starts.
Giant Van's Edinburgh team knows these roads intimately. We plan every move around parking access points, council loading restrictions, and the realities of fourth-floor tenement stairwells. We use appropriately sized vehicles, from compact Man & Van units for single-room moves to full Luton box vans for three-bedroom properties.
The EH1, EH2, EH3, EH6, and EH7 postcodes each carry their own access challenges. EH1 covers the Royal Mile and Canongate, where streets are narrow and tourist foot traffic peaks all year. EH2 and EH3 take in the West End, Stockbridge fringe, and Charlotte Square. EH6 includes Leith, with its regenerated waterfront and mixed residential blocks. Our drivers have run routes through all of them and know exactly where to position the van to save you time and money.
Our Edinburgh City Centre Removal Services
Giant Van offers a full range of removal services tailored to Edinburgh City Centre residents and businesses.
Every booking comes with a GPS-tracked vehicle, fully insured crew, and a fixed-price quote so there are no surprises on moving day.
Man and Van Edinburgh City Centre: Our most popular option for studio flats, single rooms, and small loads.
From £45 per hour, this suits students moving out of university accommodation near Bristo Square or Potterrow, or professionals relocating a home office from Tollcross or Bruntsfield.
Home Removals Edinburgh: For one-bedroom properties, expect to pay between £250 and £400.
Two-bedroom moves typically run £400 to £650. Three-bedroom family homes, including the Victorian stone semis found on Comiston Road and Morningside Drive, range from £650 to £900. Prices depend on distance, floor level, parking access, and volume of furniture.
Office and Commercial Removals: We handle desk-to-desk IT equipment moves, boardroom furniture, and filing system relocations for businesses on Lothian Road, Morrison Street, and the Exchange District.
Out-of-hours moves are available to minimise downtime.
Same-Day Removals: Need to move today?

5 Tips
Both use professional-grade double-walled boxes, tissue wrap, bubble wrap, and purpose-made wardrobe cartons. Everything is labelled clearly by room so unpacking at your new address is quick and logical.
This is especially useful for Edinburgh City Centre tenements where storage space is tight and there is no room to stage boxes in a hallway or spare bedroom. We pack kitchen items, glassware, books, artwork, clothing, and electronics. Nothing is left for you to do except point us in the right direction.
Edinburgh's New Town properties often contain high-value period items, antiques, and framed prints that need specialist wrapping and custom-cut foam inserts.
You come home to a space that is ready to live in, not a maze of cardboard.
Prices for packing services are quoted alongside your removal estimate so you see the full cost upfront.

Areas We Cover in Edinburgh City Centre
Giant Van collects and delivers across every part of Edinburgh City Centre and the wider Edinburgh council area.
Below are the key neighbourhoods and postcodes our crews serve most frequently.
Old Town (EH1): The Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Canongate, Cowgate, and the Grassmarket.
These streets require early-morning starts to beat tourist congestion and require compact vehicles to navigate safely.
New Town (EH2, EH3): Charlotte Square, George Street, Queen Street, Dundas Street, and Stockbridge.
Georgian properties here often have basement flats accessible only via external stone stairs, and upper floors with no lift access.
Our teams are experienced with both.
West End and Haymarket (EH3, EH11): Dalry Road, Gorgie Road, and Fountainbridge.
A mix of tenement blocks and modern apartment developments including the newer Canal Quarter builds.
Leith and Newhaven (EH6): Bernard Street, the Shore, Ocean Drive, and Salamander Street.
Leith's regeneration has brought a large number of warehouse conversions and modern flats alongside the traditional Victorian terraces.
Tollcross, Bruntsfield, and Morningside (EH10): Bruntsfield Place, Morningside Road, and Colinton Road.
These are the most common areas for three-bedroom family home moves in the south of the city centre.
We also cover Newington (EH9), Marchmont (EH9), and the university district around George Square and Meadowside.

What to Expect on Moving Day
On the day of your Edinburgh move, Giant Van operates on a tight, professional schedule.
You will receive a confirmed arrival window when you book. On the morning of your move, your driver's GPS location is live in the app so you can track exactly when the crew will arrive at your Edinburgh City Centre address.
Our crew arrives in uniform and introduces themselves.
They carry out a quick walkthrough of your property to confirm the inventory, check for any access difficulties, and agree the order in which items will be loaded. All furniture is wrapped in transit blankets before it goes near the van. No scratches on banisters, no scuffs on doorframes.
Loading is methodical.
Heavy items go in first. Fragile items are secured and separated. The van is packed to prevent movement in transit. For moves within Edinburgh City Centre, most loads travel less than five miles between collection and delivery, but we pack the same way for a local move as we do for a 300-mile long-distance relocation.
At delivery, our crew carries everything to the correct room based on your labels or instructions.
Furniture is unwrapped and positioned where you want it. Beds and wardrobes are reassembled if dismantled at the collection address. The crew removes all transit blankets and packaging before leaving.
From first lift to last handshake, we aim to finish every Edinburgh City Centre move on time and damage-free.

Removals for Students and Short-Term Lets in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has one of the highest concentrations of students per capita in the UK. The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier, Heriot-Watt, and Queen Margaret University together bring tens of thousands of students into the city each year. Many live in private rentals around Newington, Marchmont, Morningside, and the Southside, with frequent moves between term-time addresses and home addresses in Scotland, England, and beyond.
Giant Van's Man and Van service is built for this. A student moving from a shared flat on Causewayside or Buccleuch Street to a new address in Portobello or Gorgie needs a fast, affordable, and flexible service, not a full house-removal team and a long-term booking process.
Our app lets you book same-day or next-day Man and Van slots with no lengthy lead time. Most student moves in Edinburgh City Centre complete in two to three hours at £45 per hour. That covers a van, one driver-porter, and all transit equipment.
We also cover short-term let turnaround moves for landlords and letting agents managing Airbnb and short-let properties around the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, and Quartermile. Furniture clearance, item delivery, and end-of-tenancy assistance are all available through a single booking. Call to discuss repeat booking arrangements for letting agencies.
