Our Leicester to Nottingham Service Menu
The drive from Leicester to Nottingham takes around 40 to 50 minutes on a normal weekday.
You leave Leicester on the A563 ring road, then pick up the M1 northbound at junction 21.
You come off at junction 26 and follow the A610 into central Nottingham.
Total distance is roughly 28 miles.
Rush hour on the M1 between junctions 21 and 25 can add 15 to 20 minutes.
We always aim to depart Leicester before 8am or after 9:30am to avoid peak traffic.
If you are moving to West Bridgford or Lady Bay in NG2, we sometimes use the A453 through Clifton as an alternative to the M1.
Our drivers know both options well.
For moves to Beeston or Chilwell in NG9, the M1 to junction 25 and then the A52 westbound is quickest.
We factor all of this into your booking slot so the van arrives at your new address on time.

Man and Van Leicester to Nottingham — FAQs
How long does a removal from Leicester to Nottingham take?
The drive itself is around 40 to 50 minutes on the M1. A complete one-bedroom move including loading and unloading takes four to five hours in total. A three-bedroom house move usually takes six to eight hours. We give you a time estimate when you book based on your property size and access at both ends.
What size van do I need for a two-bedroom flat move?
A Luton van is the right choice for most two-bedroom moves. It holds roughly 650 cubic feet of goods and has a tail lift for heavy items. If you have large amounts of storage or oversized furniture, we can assess your needs and send a second van or a 7.5-tonne lorry instead.
Do you offer same-day Luton van hire in Leicester?
Yes. Same-day bookings are available most days if you contact us before 10am. You can book instantly through our app or website. For same-day requests, calling us directly on is the quickest way to confirm availability and lock in your time slot.
Is my furniture insured during the removal?
Yes. All moves are covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability insurance. Your belongings are protected from the moment we load the van in Leicester to the moment we place them in your Nottingham property. If you have high-value antiques or art, let us know and we can discuss additional cover.
How much does it cost to move a one-bedroom flat from Leicester to Nottingham?
A one-bedroom flat move on this route typically costs between £250 and £400. The exact price depends on access at both addresses, the amount of furniture, and if you need packing. Get a fixed quote in under two minutes on our website or call for an instant estimate.
Can you help with parking in Leicester city centre for the van?
Yes. If you need a parking bay suspended for the Luton van, we can help you apply to Leicester City Council in advance. Let us know your postcode and street when you book. Our drivers also know the loading zones and back-street access points across LE1, LE2, and LE3 that work well for removal vehicles.
Do you move students between Leicester and Nottingham universities?
Yes, student moves are a core part of our service. We cover moves between the University of Leicester in LE1 and Nottingham Trent or the University of Nottingham in July, August, and September. A man and van from £54 per hour is usually the most affordable option for student volumes.
Which roads do you use from Leicester to Nottingham?
Our standard route follows the A563 to M1 junction 21, then the M1 northbound to junction 26, and into Nottingham on the A610. For deliveries to West Bridgford NG2 or Clifton NG11, we sometimes use the A453 via the Queen Elizabeth II bridge. Our drivers choose the best route based on your delivery postcode and live traffic conditions.
