Services for Your Dundee to Aberdeen Move
The drive from Dundee to Aberdeen is approximately 67 miles. The main route follows the A90 dual carriageway north through Angus and Aberdeenshire. You pass through Forfar, Stonehaven, and the outskirts of Portlethen before reaching Aberdeen city centre.
In normal traffic, expect a journey time of around 1 hour 15 minutes. During peak hours on weekday mornings, the A90 through Dundee and the Aberdeen western approach can add 15 to 30 minutes. Our drivers account for this when scheduling your move.
There is no motorway designation on this stretch, but the A90 is a fast, well-maintained dual carriageway for most of the route. Road conditions are generally good year-round, though winter driving between December and February can bring ice and occasional closures near Stonehaven.
Giant Van drivers are familiar with both city ends of this route. Dundee city centre has restricted loading zones, particularly around the Overgate area and the waterfront. Aberdeen has its own quirks, including permit-only streets in the west end and the Granite City's compact city centre. We plan your collection and delivery windows to avoid delays at both ends.

Work Out Your Moving CostDundee to Aberdeen Traffic and Moving Strategy
Our pricing for removals from Dundee to Aberdeen depends on the size of your move and the service you need.
Here is a clear breakdown of what to expect.
Man and Van hire starts from £54 per hour.
This works well for small loads, student moves, or single-item collections. You only pay for the time used. Most small van jobs on this route take between three and five hours including loading, travel, and unloading.
A one-bedroom flat typically costs between £250 and £400.
This covers the van, one or two movers, and the full 67-mile journey. The price depends on access at both properties, the number of boxes, and we handle packing help.
A two-bedroom property usually runs from £400 to £650.
Two movers handle most of these jobs comfortably in half a day. Larger furniture, including sofas, beds, and wardrobes, is included in the quote.
A three-bedroom house removal costs between £650 and £900.
Larger moves may require a bigger vehicle or a second van. We will advise you on this when you get your instant quote.
All prices include fuel for the Dundee to Aberdeen route, driver time, and basic transit protection.
Packing materials and full contents insurance upgrades are available as optional extras. Call or use our app to get a fixed price in under two minutes.

Practical Steps Before Moving in Dundee to Aberdeen
Most residential areas sit within easy reach of the A90 northbound junction, which makes departure relatively straightforward for moves heading to Aberdeen.
Older tenement buildings in areas like Lochee, Stobswell, and Hilltown often have narrow stairwells and no lift access. This affects how long loading takes. Tell us about stairs and access when you book so we send the right crew.
These have better road access and wider streets, which speeds up loading. Parking restrictions are lighter in these suburbs than in the city centre.
Properties here often sit in purpose-built blocks with lift access and allocated parking, which makes loading more efficient.
The A90 northbound can get busy between 7am and 9am on weekdays. A 9am or 10am departure puts you ahead of the worst of the commercial traffic heading towards Aberdeen.

Dundee to Aberdeen: Transparent Pricing and Inclusions
Aberdeen is Scotland's third-largest city and sits at the mouth of the River Dee on the north-east coast.
The city has a wide range of residential areas, from the West End's granite townhouses to the newer developments around Bridge of Don and Portlethen to the south.
The city centre itself has pedestrianised zones and a network of one-way streets.
Union Street, the main artery, does not allow heavy vehicles to stop for loading during daytime hours.
If you are moving into a city centre flat, we will arrange an early-morning delivery slot or an alternative approach route.
Aberdeen's West End, including streets around Queen's Road and Victoria Road, has wide avenues with good parking access.
These are some of the easiest drops in the city.
By contrast, the Rosemount and Ferryhill areas have tighter streets and terraced granite properties that sometimes require narrow stairwell navigation.
Bridge of Don, Dyce, and Westhill to the north and west of the city are modern suburban areas.
These are straightforward deliveries with good road access and plentiful on-street parking.
Tell us your exact delivery postcode when you book.
Our drivers plan the most efficient route through the city to reach your new property without unnecessary delays.
Aberdeen's granite buildings look similar from the outside, and clear address details help us find you quickly.

Areas We Cover Around Dundee to Aberdeen
Giant Van offers something better: a driven van with a crew, so you do not need to navigate an unfamiliar vehicle on the A90 or handle the lifting yourself.
You then pay for petrol or diesel for a 134-mile round trip, which adds around £25 to £40 on top at current fuel prices. You also bear full responsibility for the vehicle and any damage to your belongings.
A typical small move from Dundee to Aberdeen runs to around three to four hours of billable time, making total costs comparable to self-drive hire while removing all the effort and risk from you.
Our drivers carry equipment including furniture blankets, straps, and trolleys. You simply show us what needs moving and we take care of the rest.
But for the Dundee to Aberdeen removal itself, our driven service is faster, safer, and often no more expensive than hiring a van yourself.
