The Drive: Birmingham to Bristol
The Birmingham to Bristol route is almost entirely M5 motorway once you clear the city.
Leave Birmingham via the Aston Expressway or Bristol Road, join the M5 south of Edgbaston, and stay on it past Worcester, Gloucester, and the Almondsbury interchange into Bristol.
Traffic is usually light outside of rush hour and school holiday weekends, when the Gloucester services stretch can back up.
Loaded removal vans typically complete the 90 miles in about 1 hour 45 minutes, occasionally longer around the M5/M4 junction at Almondsbury.
Birmingham to Bristol Removal Prices
Man and van: from £279 for a studio or one-bedroom move, including two hours of loading and unloading time plus the 90-mile drive.
Two-bedroom home: typically £350 to £450, depending on furniture volume and whether packing help is needed.
Three-bedroom home and above: usually needs a larger vehicle and our standard two-person crew — we confirm an exact price once we know your inventory and access at both ends.
All prices include fuel, insurance, and basic furniture protection. Packing materials and full-service packing are quoted separately if you want them.
Prices include fuel, tolls, and motorway charges. Shared-load pricing available for part moves.
Work Out Your Moving CostLoading in Birmingham, Unloading in Bristol
Birmingham collections are common from Edgbaston, Moseley, and Harborne, all areas with a mix of Victorian terraces and purpose-built flats where parking suspensions are worth arranging in advance.
On the Bristol side, Clifton and Bedminster are the two areas our crews get asked about most, both known for steep streets and narrow Georgian frontages that need careful vehicle positioning.
Our drivers know both cities well enough to plan the loading slot around resident permit hours.

What's Included

Furniture blankets, straps, and basic dismantling of beds and wardrobes are included as standard.
Goods-in-transit insurance covers the full 90-mile journey.
Nothing is added after the quote is confirmed — if your inventory changes, we requote before moving day, not after.
Best Time to Book
- 01
Weekday moves on this route are generally cheaper and easier to schedule than weekend slots, since the M5 corridor gets busier with leisure traffic on Fridays and Saturdays, particularly heading toward the South West in summer.
- 02
Booking two to three weeks ahead gives the widest choice of collection times, though we do take short-notice bookings when a slot is free.
