For Moving: Scope and Coverage
For Hire Vans for Moving, for moves involving shipping containers — if you are receiving a container delivery or loading one for export — Giant Van operates as container movers for the local transport leg.
Our Luton vans and larger removal vehicles can shuttle loads between a container at the roadside and your property when the container cannot be positioned directly outside the door.
We also handle oversized furniture and heavy appliances that standard container movers will not touch: cast-iron radiators, piano stools, safes, and solid-wood wardrobes.
Every load is secured with straps and removal blankets inside the van body.
If your move involves a storage container at a facility some distance from your property, we price the job on the basis of the full round trip rather than charging by the hour — so you know the cost upfront.

Giant Van builds buffer time into every house removal booking so that a delayed start does not cascade into a missed handover.
Our drivers call ahead when they are 30 minutes away, giving you time to do final checks without standing at the door for hours.
For last-minute van delivery requests on moving day — a second trip for items left behind, or a collection from a storage unit — message us in the live chat and we will dispatch the nearest available driver.
Rates for additional same-day trips are agreed over the phone before dispatch.

Giant Van operations
Hiring a van for moving house is most cost-effective when you plan the load carefully.
Giant Van customers who book a Luton van for a two-bedroom move typically complete the job in a single trip, keeping total costs down.
For three-bedroom and larger properties, we can price a two-van team or a single larger vehicle with two crew members.
If you are moving to a more affordable part of the country or staying local, a fixed-price removal quote from us means you know the full cost before anyone lifts a box.

Van Hire for Moving House — FAQs
Can you help with a house move in Trowbridge as a removal company there?
Giant Van covers Trowbridge and the wider Wiltshire area. As an alternative removal company for Trowbridge customers, we handle moves within the town and longer-distance relocations to Bristol, Bath, Swindon, and beyond. Trowbridge properties range from Victorian terraces near the town centre to newer estates on the outskirts — our drivers plan access and parking in advance.
Message us in the live chat to get a fixed price for your Trowbridge move.
Does Giant Van offer council fridge removal as part of a house clearance?
Yes. Fridge and freezer removal is included in our house clearance service when items are being relocated to a new address. For waste disposal — where the fridge needs to go to a registered recycling facility rather than a new home — we can arrange council fridge removal collection via our clearance partners.
Fridge disposal requires specialist handling under UK refrigerant regulations. Let us know at booking whether the fridge is being moved to a new property or disposed of, so we can allocate the right resource.
