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.

Moving in Manchester: What You Need to Know
Parking & Access
Pay-and-display bays have strict 2-hour limits. Most residential streets around Ancoats, the Northern Quarter, and Piccadilly are permit-holder only.
Apply for a temporary parking dispensation through Manchester City Council. Allow at least 5 working days for processing. Alternatively, use our crew to load quickly using a nearby pay bay.
Tree-lined streets with parked cars on both sides leave little room for a transit van. Drives are often too short for our Luton vans.
Our crews carry ramps and dollies to bridge the gap between the van and your front door. We will park as close as legally possible and manage the rest.
Modern apartment complexes with barrier-controlled car parks and narrow underground access. Height restrictions often prevent van entry.
Contact your building concierge to arrange loading bay access and goods lift booking at least 48 hours in advance.
Local Regulations
Clean Air Zone
Manchester's Clean Air Zone was paused and replaced with a non-charging scheme. There is currently no daily charge for vehicles entering the city centre, but this may change. All Giant Van vehicles meet Euro 6 standards regardless.
Residents Parking Zones
Areas including Rusholme, Fallowfield, and parts of Withington have controlled parking zones. Removals require a temporary dispensation from Manchester City Council.
Bus Lane Enforcement
Camera-enforced bus lanes operate across central Manchester and along Oxford Road. Penalty charge notices are £60 (reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days). Our drivers are trained on all active bus lane routes.
Local Tips
If you are moving near Old Trafford on a match day, check the Manchester United or Lancashire Cricket fixture list. Road closures and parking restrictions around the stadium can add over an hour to your move.
Avoid the Mancunian Way (A57M) during rush hour. Our drivers use local routes through Hulme and Moss Side that are faster between 08:00 and 09:30.
Student move-in weekends in September are the busiest time for Manchester removals. Book at least 2 weeks in advance during this period.
Many Victorian terraces in Levenshulme and Longsight have narrow hallways. Let us know if your sofa or wardrobe is wider than 80cm so we can plan the best entry route.
