Student Removals from a Removal Company Hereford Trusts

Hereford is a compact city, but access for large removal vehicles is not always straightforward.

Our drivers know the local road network well. Here is what to expect in different parts of the city.

The area around the University of Hereford campus on Folly Lane has limited on-street parking.

Our drivers will assess the situation on arrival and may need a few minutes to position the vehicle. We recommend checking with your letting agent or university accommodation office whether a parking bay suspension is required. Herefordshire Council handles these requests and they typically need 5 to 7 working days notice.

The streets between Whitecross Road and Westfaling Street are narrow in places.

Our standard transit van fits these roads comfortably. If you are in a terraced house where access is tight, let us know your postcode when you book so we can confirm vehicle suitability.

In the city centre, particularly around High Town and the areas off Broad Street, loading restrictions apply on weekdays between 8am and 6pm.

We will work with you to schedule the move at a time that avoids penalty charges.

St Owen Street, Victoria Street, and the roads around Hereford train station are generally more accessible.

If you are moving into or out of one of the newer student developments near Commercial Road, there is usually a designated loading area that we can use.

For moves out of the city, the A49, A465, and A438 are our primary routes.

We are familiar with low bridges and weight restrictions on rural Herefordshire roads, so we always plan our route before setting off.

Giant Van covers the full Hereford city area and a wide ring of surrounding towns and villages.

Here are the main areas we serve.

Within the city, we cover all postcode sectors of HR1 and HR2.

This includes the Cathedral Quarter, the Whitecross area, Belmont, Redhill, Lower Bullingham, and Holmer. We also cover the Hampton Dene and Hunderton areas on the south side of the River Wye.

We cover HR4 regularly, serving Credenhill, Stretton Sugwas, and Canon Pyon.

Students at the university in Hereford who live in outlying villages often use us for moves to and from these areas.

HR9 covers Ross-on-Wye, which is around 16 miles south of Hereford via the A49.

We run this route frequently for students finishing their degrees and returning home to the south of the county.

We also cover Ledbury (HR8) to the east, Bromyard (HR7) to the north-east, and Leominster (HR6) to the north.

These towns are within comfortable driving distance of Hereford and we carry out regular removals in each.

For moves beyond Herefordshire, we cover the wider West Midlands, Wales border areas including Abergavenny, Monmouth, and Brecon, as well as Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, and London.

Long-distance student removals are common at the end of the academic year.

If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call .

We will confirm availability and give you a price for the full route. We do not charge extra for returning the van to Hereford after a long-distance move; the quote you receive covers the complete job.
