A minimal student setup, a single bed, desk, wardrobe, boxes of books, and kitchen items, fits in a Transit van.
That typically costs £49 to £90 in London or £35 to £70 regionally.
If you have a sofa, a second wardrobe, or appliances, step up to a Luton van.

The Student Removals Service Promise
The cost of moving house as a student from a 1 bedroom property is lower than most people expect.
Giant Van's student removal rates start from £48 for regional moves and £49 in London.
That covers the crew, vehicle, fuel, and all equipment.
The biggest variable in cost of moving house for students is distance.
Moving within the same city, say from one Oxford postcode to another, is the most affordable scenario.
Moving between university cities, from Newcastle to Bristol for example, adds mileage and typically pushes the total cost to £200 to £400 depending on load size.
A single student bedroom with a bed, desk, wardrobe, and boxes typically fits in a Transit van.
If you have accumulated significant furniture over a multi-year tenancy, a Luton van may be needed.
Message us in the live chat with an inventory and we quote accurately first time.

The Student Removals Booking Process
- 01
Removal company cost for a student 1 bedroom move is driven by four factors: distance, load volume, access, and timing.
- 02
Distance is the largest variable.
- 03
A 5-mile same-city move costs significantly less than a 150-mile inter-city relocation.
- 04
Load volume determines van size: a Transit works for a minimal student room, while a furnished room with additional shelving, appliances, and a sofa requires a Luton.
- 05
Access issues, such as a third-floor flat without a lift, add crew time and therefore cost.
- 06
Timing matters too: end-of-term months (June, July, September) are peak booking periods.
- 07
Booking 3 to 4 weeks in advance during these months avoids peak-period pricing.
- 08
Off-peak midweek bookings are the most cost-effective.
