Understanding Our Student Removals Oxford Brookes University Offering
Moving house as a student is stressful at the best of times. You are juggling deadlines, end-of-tenancy admin, and the reality that your mates are not always free to help. Giant Van takes that pressure off you. We are a fully insured removals company with drivers who know Oxford well.
They know which roads around Headington get choked at move-out time, where to park on Gipsy Lane, and how to get a sofa out of a narrow Victorian terrace on Cowley Road without scratching the walls.
We operate seven days a week, including bank holidays. If you need to move at short notice, our same-day service is available across Oxford. You book through our app, get an instant quote, and track your driver by GPS so you always know where your van is. There are no hidden fees and no ambiguous extras on your invoice.
Our vehicles range from small Luton vans for a single room move to large vans for a full flat. Every booking includes at least one trained mover who will help carry boxes, disassemble flat-pack furniture, and wrap fragile items. We bring blankets and straps as standard. You do not need to supply anything.
Students often tell us they assumed a removal company would be out of their budget. Our Man and Van rate starts at £54 per hour, which is competitive with hiring a van yourself once you add insurance, fuel, and the deposit. You also get a professional driver and a helper, not just a van.
Student Removals Oxford Brookes University: Planning Every Step
Oxford Brookes has four campuses across Oxfordshire.
We cover all of them. Here is what to expect at each location.
The Headington campus on Gipsy Lane is the main campus and the busiest for student moves.
It sits just two miles from Oxford city centre in the OX3 postcode. Roads around the campus can get narrow quickly. We plan access in advance and confirm parking with you before arrival.
We are experienced with the surrounding streets including Headington Road, London Road, and Old Road.
The Headington Hill campus is a short walk from the main site.
It houses several university buildings and student flats. Access here is slightly easier but still requires careful vehicle positioning. Our drivers know the site well.
The Marston Road area and the streets feeding into it are popular for second and third-year students renting privately.
Roads like Iffley Road, Cowley Road, and the streets off Divinity Road are all within our regular Oxford coverage. These Victorian terraced streets are tight, but our drivers handle them every week.
The Wheatley campus is around seven miles east of Headington, just off the A40.
We cover moves to and from Wheatley without any extra mileage surcharge within our standard Oxford area. If you are in student housing near the Wheatley campus, we can collect and deliver on the same run.
The Swindon Road campus in Marston is home to the health faculty buildings.
Student accommodation in Marston and Barton is included in our standard Oxford service area at no added cost.

Quick and Easy Student Removals Oxford Brookes University Booking
- 01
End of term is the busiest moving period at Oxford Brookes.
The university sets specific move-out dates for halls, and thousands of students need to clear their rooms within a short window. If you leave this too late, you will find vans scarce and prices at their highest.
- 02
The main rush periods at Oxford Brookes are late June and early July at the end of the summer term, and mid-September at the start of the new academic year.
January also sees a smaller wave of moves as students who have deferred or transferred arrive or leave.
- 03
We recommend booking your summer move-out at least two weeks in advance.
Same-day bookings are still possible but subject to availability. Early bookers get their preferred time slot and often benefit from our best hourly rates.
- 04
If you are heading back to parents or a family home at the end of the year, we can deliver your belongings there directly.
Our long-distance service is priced per job, not per mile, so you get a fixed price before you commit.
- 05
If you are storing your belongings over summer, we can collect from your hall or house and deliver to a storage facility.
We work with several Oxford storage providers and can coordinate the drop-off for you.

For students who are staying in Oxford but moving to a new flat, our local service is fast and affordable.
Many students use our Man and Van option for this, particularly when moving smaller quantities of belongings within the OX3 or OX4 postcode.

Student Removals Oxford Brookes University: Urban and Rural
Moving into university for the first time is exciting and chaotic in equal measure.
Most students arrive for freshers week with more than they expected to carry. A removal van makes the difference between a smooth start and a stressful one.
Oxford Brookes runs staggered move-in dates for first-year students across its halls.
Clive Booth, Paul Kent, and Cheney all have designated time slots. We work within those slots and arrive at the time you specify. If your slot changes, let us know and we will adjust.
If your family is travelling from outside Oxford to help you move in, a Giant Van booking means you only need one car.
Your family can travel to Oxford while we collect your belongings from home and bring them directly to your room. We cover collections from across the UK and can co-ordinate the timing to arrive when you do.
We also handle parent and student moves where the family want to help but need a van.
Our driver does the heavy lifting while your family members carry smaller items. It keeps things manageable and avoids the chaos of everyone trying to lift a mattress up a stairwell at once.
Our booking process is straightforward.
Get an instant online quote, pick your date and time, and pay securely through the app. You receive a booking confirmation immediately. Call if you have any questions or want to discuss the specifics of your move.

Repeat Oxford Brookes Bookings Tell the Story
Many Oxford Brookes students do not go straight home at the end of term. Some stay in Oxford over summer, some travel, and others need their belongings kept somewhere safe while they bridge between properties. Storage is a practical solution and one we can help arrange.
We can collect your belongings from your current address and transport them to a storage facility in Oxford. We work with trusted local storage providers and can advise on unit sizes based on what you have. A typical single-room student collection fits comfortably into a small storage unit of around 25 to 50 square feet.
At the end of summer, we collect from storage and deliver to your new address. This means you only deal with one company for both legs of the process. We coordinate the access and paperwork with the storage provider on your behalf.
Shared storage is also an option if you are moving out with housemates and want to split the cost. We can make a single collection visit and help split belongings between individual storage units. This keeps costs down for each person.
If you are flying home at the end of term and want your belongings delivered directly to your family home, we can arrange this too. We collect from Oxford, store securely, and deliver to a UK address of your choice when you are ready. Everything is tracked and insured throughout.
Talk to us about storage when you book your move. We will find the most practical and cost-effective option for your situation.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
How Timing Affects Your Oxford Brookes Quote
Giant Van vs Hiring a Van Yourself
Here is how it compares to booking Giant Van.
Add the fuel (Oxford to Birmingham is roughly £15 each way), a collision damage waiver (usually £20 to £30 extra), and the time spent collecting and returning the van.
For a two-hour move, that is £90 total. For the same price as a self-drive hire day, you get a complete service with none of the stress or paperwork.
You focus on the move itself.
Giant Van provides student removals in Oxford for Oxford Brookes University students at the Headington campus and beyond.
We cover all local student halls, private rentals across OX3 and OX4, and long-distance moves back home at the end of term.
Our drivers know Oxford well.
Same-day bookings welcome.

Furniture does not need to be packed but should be cleared of loose items.
Is my stuff insured during the move?
Yes. All items are covered by our goods-in-transit insurance throughout the move. We are also fully covered for public liability.
