Student Removals Edinburgh

Transparent pricing matters when you are a student.

Edinburgh rents are high enough without hidden removal charges. Here is what Giant Van charges for student moves in Edinburgh.

Man and Van service starts from £45 per hour.

This suits students moving from a single room in halls or a small bedsit. It covers a driver, a van, and loading help. If you are moving out of Pollock Halls on Holyrood Park Road or a room on Sciennes Road in Newington, this is usually the right option.

One-bedroom flat moves cost between £250 and £400.

This covers a larger van and a two-person crew. Perfect for moving from a Marchmont flat to a new place in Gorgie or Leith.

Two-bedroom flats cost between £400 and £650.

If you are sharing with a flatmate and splitting a joint move from an EH9 or EH10 address to somewhere across town, this tier saves you both money.

Three-bedroom student houses cost between £650 and £900.

Common for groups moving at the end of the academic year in June or July when EH8 and EH11 postcodes see peak demand.

All prices include insurance.

No fuel surcharges. No stair fees hidden in the small print. Call for a same-day quote, or get an instant price through our app.

A little preparation makes an Edinburgh student move much smoother.

The city has specific challenges that catch people off guard.

Book a parking suspension if needed.

Edinburgh City Council allows residents and businesses to apply for temporary parking suspensions on public roads. If your new flat is on a controlled parking street in Marchmont, Morningside, or the New Town, we can advise you on applying. Suspensions cost around £30 to £60 depending on duration and location. They are worth it to avoid a ticket or having to carry boxes 200 metres down the road.

Check your tenancy agreement.

Many Edinburgh landlords and letting agents require professional insurance-backed movers for large furniture. Giant Van is fully insured, so you meet that requirement automatically. We can provide documentation if your agent asks.

Move mid-week if you can.

Saturdays in Edinburgh student areas are chaotic from May through September. Wednesday and Thursday moves are cheaper, faster, and less stressful.

Label boxes by room.

Edinburgh tenement flats often have one access point and a single stairwell. Knowing which box goes where before the van arrives makes the process twice as fast.

Have someone at both ends.

If you are doing a London to Edinburgh move, arrange for a friend or flatmate to receive the van at the Edinburgh end. Our GPS tracker lets you monitor the van in real time so timing the handover is straightforward. Call to discuss your specific setup.
