Student Removals Cardiff University

Transparent pricing matters when you're on a student budget.

Giant Van publishes fixed rates so you know exactly what you'll pay before anyone lifts a box.

Our Man and Van service starts at £54 per hour.

This suits students moving a single room or a handful of boxes between halls. For most single-room moves within Cardiff, two hours covers loading, transit, and unloading comfortably.

Larger moves have fixed price ranges based on property size:

1-bedroom flat: £250 to £400

2-bedroom property: £400 to £650

3-bedroom shared house: £650 to £900

Most student moves fall into the Man and Van or 1-bedroom bracket.

A typical Cathays terrace room with a bed, desk, wardrobe, and boxes of books costs far less than moving a full family home.

Weekend removals in Cardiff are available at the same rates.

We do not add a weekend surcharge. If Saturday or Sunday suits your move-out date, you pay the same as any weekday.

Good packing cuts your move time and protects your things.

Follow these tips before move day to keep costs down and the job running smoothly.

Start with what you rarely use.

Books, out-of-season clothes, and kitchen items you have packed away already.

Box these first and label each box with its destination room.

Use smaller boxes for heavy items.

Books in a large box become impossible to lift.

Use small boxes for books, records, and kitchenware.

Keep large boxes for bedding, pillows, and light items.

Wrap fragile items individually.

Use clothing, towels, and bubble wrap to protect glasses, frames, and electronics.

Tell our team which boxes contain fragile items and they will load them last and carry them with extra care.

Disassemble what you can.

Flat-pack furniture, bed frames, and shelving units take far less space in the van when broken down.

Keep bolts and fixings in a labelled zip-lock bag taped to the main piece.

Take a photo of your current room before the team starts loading.

This protects you if your landlord raises any deposit disputes after you leave.

It takes thirty seconds and can save you a headache later.

If you need packing materials, Giant Van can supply boxes, tape, and wrap.

Ask when you book or start a live chat to add supplies to your order.
