Packing Services Made Simple in Exeter
With Cheap Packing Services Exeter, a man and van hire in Exeter covers far more than a standard removal lorry. It is the right choice when you need speed, flexibility, and value. Our drivers handle single-item deliveries, flat-pack furniture collections from IKEA or similar retailers, student moves between term-time addresses, and full household relocations.
We serve every part of the city, including St Thomas, Heavitree, Pinhoe, Whipton, Topsham, and Countess Wear. We also run regular routes into nearby towns such as Exmouth, Crediton, Tiverton, and Newton Abbot. If you need a collection from one end of Devon and a drop-off in Exeter, we cover that too.
Our vans range from small Luton vans to large Luton box vans with tail lifts. The right vehicle depends on your load. When you book online, our instant quote tool matches you to the correct van size automatically. There is no risk of turning up with a vehicle that is too small.
All bookings include a fully insured driver. Your belongings are covered in transit. Parking permits for Exeter city centre streets can be arranged on request. We know the city well, so we pick the most efficient route, avoiding peak-time congestion on routes such as Heavitree Road and the inner bypass.
Giant Van charges from £54 per hour for man and van hire in Exeter. The shortest booking is just half an hour for shorter jobs and no fuel surcharge added at the end.
Packing Services in Exeter: Loading Zones Covered
Knowing what you will pay before moving day matters.
Giant Van publishes clear price brackets so you can plan your budget with confidence.
For a one-bedroom flat or small studio in Exeter, expect to pay between £250 and £400.
That covers a single van, one driver, and typically three to four hours of work. Areas such as St David's, Mount Pleasant, and Pennsylvania often involve older properties with narrow staircases, so we factor in access time from the start.
A two-bedroom home in Exeter typically falls between £400 and £650.
This is our most common booking type. Families moving from areas like Pinhoe or Heavitree into newer developments on the edge of the city usually land in this bracket. Two movers and a large Luton van handle this size comfortably in a single trip.
Three-bedroom homes run from £650 to £900.
These jobs often require a second van or a larger crew. If you have a full garage, a garden shed worth clearing, or heavy furniture such as a piano or American-style fridge, tell us when you book. We will price it accurately from the start.
All prices include the vehicle, driver, fuel, and transit insurance.
Optional extras such as professional packing services, dismantling of flat-pack furniture, and storage can be added at the booking stage. Every quote is fixed once confirmed, so the price you see is the price you pay.

Packing Services Service Area in Exeter
Exeter is home to the University of Exeter, one of the UK's top-ranked institutions, and a thriving student population spread across Streatham Campus, St Luke's, and privately rented properties throughout the city.
Giant Van works with students moving in and out every September and June, as well as mid-year transfers and emergency moves.
Student moves are typically smaller than family relocations, which makes man and van hire a cost-effective solution.
A standard student room, including a bed, wardrobe, desk, a few boxes of books, and kitchen items, usually fits in a small van and takes one to two hours to move.
At £54 per hour, a student move within Exeter regularly comes in under £100.
We regularly collect from halls of residence across the Streatham and St Luke's campuses and deliver to properties in popular student areas including Heavitree, St James, Newtown, and Polsloe.
We know which streets have parking restrictions and can arrange temporary bays where needed.
End-of-year storage is also available.
If you are heading home for the summer but your new house is not ready until August, we can collect your belongings, store them securely, and redeliver when you need them. This saves you the cost and hassle of moving everything twice.
Book a student move via our app in under two minutes.
Enter your university address, your delivery postcode, and the date. An instant quote appears immediately. No phone calls needed unless you have a complex or large load.
A Note From Our Exeter Team
We know Exeter 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 Exeter depends on it.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
The Smart Time for Packing Services in Exeter
Man and Van vs Full Removal Service
Choosing between man and van hire and a full removal service depends on the size of your move, your budget, and how much help you need.
It is faster to book, more flexible on timing, and significantly cheaper than a full removals crew. If you are moving a one or two-bedroom property, a single large item, or a student room, a man and van is the right call.
Giant Van can scale up to a full crew for these jobs.
The city's compact layout means most local moves are completed in three to five hours, well within the range where hourly pricing is the most cost-effective option. Full-service pricing applies when the job complexity or volume exceeds what a single driver can manage efficiently.
Our team will ask a few quick questions and recommend the right service and vehicle size for your needs.
Giant Van provides professional exeter man and van services across all EX postcodes.
We cover Heavitree, St Thomas, Pinhoe, Topsham, and every neighbourhood in between.
Our drivers are fully insured, GPS-tracked, and available same day.
Prices start from £54 per hour with no hidden fees.
