Van Hire with Driver vs Self-Drive Rental
What Size Van Do I Need? — Van Hire Size Guide
Small Van (Transit-Size)
Perfect for smaller loads, tight streets, and quick jobs. Ideal for studio flats, single furniture items, eBay and Gumtree collections, student room moves, and urgent courier-style deliveries. Our transit van hire is the most affordable option for compact moves in city centres where parking and access are limited.
Medium Van
The versatile middle ground for most house moves and deliveries. Ideal for 1-bedroom flat contents, multiple furniture items in a single trip, small office relocations, and student house-share moves. Medium van hire strikes the perfect balance between capacity and manoeuvrability, making it our most recommended size for flat moves across London, Manchester, and other major cities.
Luton Van
Our most popular choice for house moves and large loads across the UK. Ideal for full 2–3 bedroom house contents, complete flat moves in a single trip, office relocations, large furniture deliveries, and house clearances. Luton van hire is the industry standard for removals — the enclosed box body protects items from weather, while the optional tail lift makes loading heavy furniture straightforward.
Transit Van Hire with Driver
Transit van hire at Giant Van includes a professional driver on every booking — no self-drive, no solo loading. Transit-size vans carry up to 10 cubic metres of cargo, making them ideal for studio flat moves, single furniture items, urban deliveries, and marketplace collections where a full Luton would be unnecessarily large.
Why Choose a Transit Van?
Everything included with a Luton van hire booking applies to transit van hire too: professional driver, fuel, basic insurance, loading assistance, moving blankets, straps, and a sack trolley. The only difference is the size of the vehicle — the service quality and inclusions are identical.

When to Use Van Hire with a Driver
House Moves
Moving house is the most common reason people search for van hire. Our house removals service provides the right van size with a driver who helps load and unload.
Furniture Delivery
Bought a sofa on eBay? Selling vintage furniture? Need a dining table delivered from a shop? Our furniture delivery service handles single items or multi-piece consignments, with a driver who does the heavy carrying. We collect and deliver furniture of any size, from a single armchair to a complete bedroom suite.
Transit Van Hire for Deliveries and Trade
Need a transit van for a business delivery or trade run? Our transit-size vans come with a professional driver, making them ideal for commercial and trade use cases:
- Same-day trade deliveries of building materials and supplies
- Shop stock restocking runs and retail distribution
- Contractor equipment moves between sites
- Market stallholder transport for events and pop-up markets
- Event equipment logistics and venue setup deliveries
- IT equipment moves for office upgrades and relocations
Office Moves
Relocating your business? Our office removals team uses the right van size for desks, chairs, IT equipment, filing systems, and server racks. Medium and Luton vans available for offices of any size. We work around your business hours to minimise disruption, including evening and weekend moves.
Storage Moves
Moving items to or from a storage unit? We transport your belongings to any storage facility across the UK, with drivers who handle the carrying. Putting items into storage during a gap between tenancies or retrieving belongings after renovation work? Our van hire service makes storage moves simple and affordable.
Same-Day and Urgent Van Hire
Last-minute move? Urgent delivery? Same-day van hire is available in most areas. Our network of local drivers means we can often have a van at your door within hours of booking. Call +44 7414 655129 for urgent same-day bookings or book online for instant confirmation.
House Clearances
Clearing a property after a bereavement, tenancy end, or before a sale? Our removal hire van service handles full and partial clearances, with respectful, professional drivers. We can work with you to clear an entire property in a single visit or make multiple trips over several days for larger estates.
Student Moves
University terms create busy van hire periods. Our student removals service provides affordable van hire for moves between halls, shared houses, and home. Small and medium vans are ideal for student room contents, and our cheap van hire options make student moves budget-friendly. Book early during September and January peak periods.
Marketplace Collections
Buying or selling on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Gumtree? Our van hire service handles collection and delivery of items too large for a car. From sofas and beds to garden furniture and gym equipment, your driver collects, loads, transports, and delivers — all for one fixed price.
Long-Distance Removals
Moving from one end of the UK to the other? Our long-distance van hire covers routes like London to Manchester, Edinburgh to Birmingham, and Bristol to Leeds — with no mileage caps, no fuel surprises, and one fixed price for the entire journey. One-way van hire means no return trip required.

Clean Air Zone Notice
This area falls within the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone). Vehicles that do not meet emission standards may be subject to a daily charge of £12.50. Check whether your vehicle is affected before your move.
London-wide ULEZ applies to all vehicle types. Giant Van vehicles are ULEZ compliant.

Parking & Access
Resident-only bays dominate most streets. Single-yellow lines restrict loading to specific hours, and double-yellows ban stopping entirely.
Apply for a temporary parking suspension through your borough council at least 5 working days before your move. Costs range from £35 to £120 depending on the borough.
One of the most heavily controlled boroughs in London. Almost every street requires a resident permit, and enforcement officers patrol frequently.
Book a bay suspension through RBKC online. Factor in a 10-day lead time during peak moving season (June to September).
High-rise buildings with limited goods-lift access. Underground car parks often have height restrictions that block transit vans.
Confirm lift booking and loading bay access with your building management before the move. Many buildings require 48 hours notice and a refundable deposit.
Narrow Victorian terraced streets with cars parked bumper-to-bumper. Double-parking for even a few minutes risks a penalty charge notice.
Our crews carry folding sack trolleys and furniture dollies to reduce the number of trips between the property and the van, minimising time on restricted streets.
Local Regulations
Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)
Covers all London boroughs. Non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 per day. All Giant Van vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, so there is no additional charge passed on to you.
Congestion Charge (Zone C)
£15 daily charge for driving into central London between 07:00 and 18:00, Monday to Friday, and 12:00 to 18:00 on weekends. Our quotes for central London moves include this charge.
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs)
Bollards and camera-enforced restrictions in boroughs including Hackney, Lambeth, and Ealing. Our drivers use up-to-date GPS routing to avoid £130 fines.
Parking Suspensions
Most London boroughs require you to apply for a temporary suspension of parking bays for removals. Processing takes 5 to 10 working days and costs £35 to £120.
Local Tips
Book your move for mid-week if possible. London roads are quietest on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, reducing transit time significantly.
If you are moving from a flat above the second floor without lift access, let us know in advance so we can bring the right equipment and add a second crew member.
Check whether your new building has a service lift or designated moving slot. Many managed buildings in London restrict removals to specific hours.
Avoid moving during school run hours (08:00 to 09:30 and 15:00 to 16:00) in residential areas. Traffic congestion can double your journey time.
Keep a bag with essentials (kettle, mugs, phone chargers, toilet roll) separate from the main move. London traffic delays mean you want basics accessible immediately.
