Student removals in Rochester from £45/hr. We cover ME1 and ME2 postcodes including Star Hill, Maidstone Road, Crow Lane and Rochester High Street. Call 020 3129 6180 for same-day bookings.
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Rochester has a compact city centre, and that creates real moving challenges for students. Streets around Star Hill and Corporation Street are narrow and regularly congested. Parking near the ME1 and ME2 postcodes is restricted, and access to Victorian terraces on Crow Lane can be tight for large vehicles. Our drivers know these streets. They arrive with the right-sized van, load quickly, and move on before parking warrants become a problem.
We are fully insured, so your belongings are covered during transit. That matters when you are carrying a laptop, a monitor, and three years of textbooks down a steep staircase. Our fleet ranges from small vans for a single room to Luton box vans for a full house share. You get GPS tracking through our app, so you know exactly where your items are at every point of the move.
We do not charge hidden fees for stairs, long carries, or waiting time on short moves. The price you see in your instant quote is what you pay. Students on tight budgets appreciate that clarity. Hundreds of students moving to and from the University of Rochester campus area and the nearby Medway University sites have trusted us with their moves. We show up on time, work efficiently, and treat your belongings with care.
Knowing the cost upfront removes one major stress from moving day.
Giant Van publishes honest, transparent pricing for every student move in Rochester. No vague estimates. No surprise bills at the end.
Our Man and Van service starts from £45 per hour and suits most student single-room or studio moves.
It covers collection, transit, and delivery anywhere in Rochester or to your next destination across Kent or beyond. The hourly rate includes one trained mover and a fully equipped van.
For larger student moves, our fixed-price packages give better value.
A one-bedroom flat move typically costs between £250 and £400. That covers most student lets near Rochester Cathedral or along Maidstone Road. A two-bedroom shared house move, common for students splitting costs with flatmates, runs from £400 to £650. A three-bedroom student house costs between £650 and £900 to move.
These prices cover moves within Rochester.
Moves to other Medway towns like Chatham, Gillingham, or Strood attract a modest distance supplement. Moves further afield to London, Canterbury, or other university cities are priced on distance and load.

We handle the volume because we maintain a large local fleet. You do not get bumped or rescheduled because someone else booked first.

Giant Van covers every part of Rochester for student removals.
We move students in and out of all the main student-populated areas of the city, including the ME1 and ME2 postcode zones that hold the bulk of private student lets.
We regularly collect from or deliver to addresses along Maidstone Road, where a high concentration of shared student houses sits close to both Medway University campuses.
We work on Borstal Street and the roads running off Corporation Street, including the tighter access terraces that require a smaller transit van rather than a full Luton.
We cover moves near Rochester Station on South Eastern Avenue, which is a key point for students arriving from London on rail.
Star Hill is one of the most requested pickup locations.
The hill itself creates a loading challenge that our team handles routinely.
New Road, the Esplanade, and Crow Lane are also regular stops.
If you live near Rochester Castle or along the riverside by the Medway, we know the permit restrictions and one-way systems in that zone.
Beyond Rochester itself, we move students to and from Chatham, Strood, Gillingham, Rainham, and across Kent.
We also run student moves between Rochester and London regularly, particularly for students returning home at the end of the academic year or moving into halls for the first time.
If your address is not listed, call us.
We cover all areas and can advise on any specific access requirements at your location.

“Best removal service I've used”
Sarah, London
We built the process to be simple because we know you have enough to deal with on moving day.
Enter your collection postcode, your destination postcode, and the size of your move. The system calculates your price immediately. No waiting for a callback. No filling in a form and hoping someone responds. You get a firm number straight away.
If you need a same-day move, select today's date and we will confirm availability by phone within minutes. For planned moves, you can book up to six weeks in advance and secure your slot.
On moving day, track your driver in real time through the Giant Van app. You will see the van on a map as it approaches your address. No more standing at the window wondering if they are coming.
They wrap fragile items, dismantle and reassemble flat-pack furniture if needed, and place everything exactly where you want it at the destination.
Moving day in Rochester has its own rhythm, and knowing what to expect makes the whole thing easier.
Our team follows the same reliable process on every student job.
Your driver will contact you roughly thirty minutes before arrival.
If you live on a street with restricted parking, like the terraces off Star Hill or the permit zones near Rochester Cathedral, let us know in advance. We carry permits and know the wardens' patrol routes in ME1. We can also request a temporary suspension for short-stay loading if you give us a week's notice.
When the team arrives, they will assess the load before touching anything.
They check for awkward staircases, low ceilings, and tight corners. Victorian and Edwardian houses near the High Street often have steep stairs and small landings. We bring the right equipment, including furniture blankets, trolleys, and strapping belts, to handle every scenario safely.
Loading typically takes thirty to sixty minutes for a single-room student move.
A full three-bedroom house share takes two to three hours. We work steadily and carefully. Nothing gets rushed in a way that risks damage.
At the destination, your driver will unload and place items in the rooms you specify.
They will reassemble any furniture that was dismantled and carry out a final check with you before leaving. If anything does not look right, tell us before the driver departs. We fix it on the spot.
Booked online in under a minute and the crew turned up right on time. Everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged. Genuinely the easiest move I've had.
The quote I got online was exactly what I paid. No hidden fees, no extra charges on the day. The two-man crew were professional, fast, and really friendly.
Our original movers cancelled last minute. Giant Van had a crew available the same day. They handled a full 2-bed flat and had us settled in by evening.

A little preparation goes a long way. These tips come from the hundreds of student moves we have completed across Rochester and Medway.
Book your move date as soon as you know your tenancy dates. The end of June and mid-September are the busiest weeks in Rochester as student leases turn over. Slots fill up fast in those periods. Booking two to three weeks ahead guarantees your preferred time.
Pack before the van arrives. Boxes should be sealed and labelled by room. Label the contents and the destination room on every box. This speeds up unloading at the other end and means nothing ends up in the wrong room. Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes if you have a lot of them. We can supply packing materials for a small additional charge if needed.
Check your new address in advance. If you are moving to a flat above a shop on Rochester High Street or into a converted building near the Medway, confirm whether there is a lift. If there is no lift, add that information to your booking so we send the right number of movers.
Tell your landlord you are using a professional removal firm. Some Rochester landlords require evidence of insurance for items moved through communal areas. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Call to request one before your move date.

UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Giant Van offers competitive rates because we run an efficient operation, not because we skip on quality, insurance, or professionalism.
Many students compare us against hiring a transit from a rental company and doing it themselves. When you factor in the rental cost, fuel, insurance for drivers, and the physical effort involved, Giant Van often works out cheaper and always works out less stressful.
The driver who collects your belongings is a Giant Van employee, vetted and trained. That matters for security and accountability. Your items are covered under our insurance policy throughout the move. If anything is damaged, we deal with the claim directly. You do not get passed around between companies.
Early morning weekday moves are often available at the base rate with no surcharge. Moving mid-week rather than on a Saturday can save you money without any change to the quality of service.
