Student Storage Oxford

A single student room in Oxford typically costs between £90 and £135 with our man and van service, based on two to three hours at £54 per hour. Students moving between Cowley Road, Headington, or Jericho addresses generally fall in this range.

If your flat is on an upper floor with no lift, or if parking on your street requires a council suspension, allow for a little extra time. Get an instant quote on the app with your exact Oxford postcodes.

If your street is in a Controlled Parking Zone, which covers most of central and inner Oxford including Jericho, East Oxford, and North Oxford residential roads, you will need to apply to Oxford City Council for a temporary suspension of the nearest parking bay.

Applications cost roughly £55 to £85 per bay and must be submitted at least five working days before your move. We advise every Oxford customer on whether their specific postcode requires one when they book.

Yes, but each college has its own access arrangements. Balliol, Keble, Worcester, and Exeter all have courtyard or quad access for vehicles, but the times and entry procedures differ. Some colleges require vehicles to book access through the porter's lodge in advance. Tell us which college when you book and we will confirm the access details before move day.

Do not assume open access on the day itself, especially at the start and end of term.

For moves during Oxford University term start and end dates, particularly early October, mid-January, and late June, book at least one week ahead. Demand from thousands of students moving simultaneously fills available vans quickly across the whole city. Outside these peak periods, same-day and next-day bookings are regularly available through our app.

Check current slot availability in real time by opening the app and entering your Oxford collection postcode.

We cover the full Oxford postcode area: OX1 city centre and university colleges, OX2 including Jericho, North Oxford, and Botley, OX3 covering Headington and Old Marston, and OX4 including Cowley and Blackbird Leys. We also serve surrounding districts including OX5 Kidlington and OX14 Abingdon for longer-distance moves.

If you are moving from an Oxford address to another city, call for a bespoke long-distance quote.

Yes. Every Giant Van booking includes full goods-in-transit insurance as standard. Your belongings are covered from the moment our crew lifts them at your Oxford collection address until they are placed in your new property. There is no separate premium to pay and no need to arrange your own cover.

If you have high-value items such as antiques, artwork, or musical instruments, tell us when you book so we can note these on your job sheet.

Same-day booking is available when slots are open. Open the Giant Van app, enter your Oxford postcode, and today's available time slots will show immediately. If a slot is visible, it is bookable and confirmed. Same-day availability is most common mid-week and outside Oxford's peak student moving periods.

For guaranteed availability on a specific date, particularly around Oxford University term changes, booking 48 to 72 hours ahead is the safer approach.

The fastest way is through the Giant Van app. Enter your Oxford collection postcode, your delivery address, and a description of what you are moving. You receive an instant fixed quote without waiting for a callback or a home survey visit. Alternatively, call and our team will quote you over the phone.

For complex moves involving Oxford college access, large items, or multiple stops across the city, a phone call lets us capture the details accurately before we confirm your price.
