Giant Van

Margate has its quirks when it comes to vehicle access, and our drivers know the town inside out.

The narrow terraces along Harold Road and Addington Street in the CT9 2 zone have limited kerb space, which means we send appropriately sized vans rather than oversized lorries that would cause unnecessary delays.

In the Cliftonville area, streets such as Ethelbert Crescent, Enfield Road, and Northdown Road are common student house territory.

Parking restrictions apply on several of these roads during peak hours, so we time our arrivals to avoid fixed penalty notices for you and for us.

Around the old town and the harbour area, streets like King Street and Duke Street have restricted access due to pedestrian zones and heritage conservation rules.

We have carried out moves in these zones many times and know exactly where to position vehicles safely.

CT10 covers Broadstairs, which many Margate students consider when they need a quieter flat.

CT11 covers Ramsgate, another frequent destination for students completing a move out of Margate. We operate across all three postcodes without any cross-border surcharge.

Students at UCCA (University Centre Margate) and those attending sixth form colleges near the seafront will find our knowledge of local road layouts genuinely useful.

We arrive prepared, not guessing.

Giant Van operates across the whole of the Thanet district and beyond.

Here is a breakdown of the specific areas we serve from our Margate base.

Within Margate itself, we cover all CT9 postcodes including CT9 1, CT9 2, CT9 3, CT9 4, and CT9 5.

This takes in the town centre, Cliftonville, Westgate-on-Sea, and Birchington.

Broadstairs falls within CT10.

We regularly move students between Margate and Broadstairs, a journey of around 4 miles that we complete in under 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

Ramsgate, covering CT11 and CT12, is the third town in the Thanet cluster.

Moves between Margate and Ramsgate are priced the same as local Margate moves within our man and van service.

Further afield, we cover Canterbury (CT1, CT2, CT3), which is a popular destination for UCCA students transferring to the University of Kent.

We also serve Whitstable, Herne Bay, Folkestone, and Dover without surcharges for these short Kent routes.

For students heading back to London after their studies, we offer regular runs to all 33 London boroughs.

London moves are quoted individually based on zone and access. Call for a fast estimate.

We can also arrange storage if your new place is not ready.

We work with a secure storage facility near the Manston industrial estate where your belongings can stay safely for as little as one week or as long as you need.
