The Giant Van Luton Van Service
For Luton Van to Hire, a Luton van is the most practical shipment vehicle for large, awkward loads that courier pallets cannot handle.
The box body measures roughly 18 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 7 feet tall — giving you a load space that comfortably takes a double sofa, a king-size bed frame, a wardrobe, and a full set of dining furniture in one go.
Unlike a curtainsider, the enclosed aluminium body protects your goods from rain and road grime without needing shrink-wrap.
Many of our Luton vans come fitted with a tail lift rated to 1100 kg, which removes the need for a loading ramp when you are shifting heavy appliances or stacked boxes.
Luton Van Hire UK Pricing
Luton van hire UK with Giant Van starts from £54 per hour in London and £54 per hour in regional areas. Full house removals are priced on a fixed-quote basis from £149. Long-distance routes are quoted per job — a London to Manchester Luton move typically runs £350–£500 including driver, assistant, and insurance.
Tail-lift vehicles are available at the same rate when confirmed at booking. No fuel surcharges within the quoted service area. Message us in the live chat for your postcode-specific price.
All prices include a fully insured driver, van, and basic protection. Packing materials available.
Work Out Your Moving CostLuton Van: Loading Zones and Permits
When it comes to Luton Van for Hire, sending heavy parcels within the UK through a standard courier is often more expensive than people expect once surcharges for size and weight stack up.
A single Luton van booking with Giant Van can move several hundred kilograms of goods in one journey for a flat rate — no per-parcel fees, no redelivery charges, no hidden extras.
This makes it a sensible option for small business owners clearing stock, market traders restocking between locations, and anyone moving furniture bought at auction.
Our drivers plan the most direct route between your collection and delivery points, so your goods arrive the same day on most UK routes.
Bookings can be made in the live chat or online, with same-day slots available subject to driver availability.

Luton Van: Transparent Pricing
With Luton Box Van Hire, Luton van hire UK works best when you match the vehicle to the load rather than defaulting to the largest available.
A standard Luton box body measures roughly 18 feet in length, 7 feet wide, and 7 feet tall — yielding a usable space of approximately 17 cubic metres.
That handles a full three-bedroom house in a single load.
For a one or two-bedroom property, a large transit covers the job at a lower rate.
Giant Van assesses your load before dispatching a vehicle.
When you describe your property and the items being moved, the team recommends the right vehicle size — no upselling to a Luton when a transit is sufficient.
Luton van hire UK rates with Giant Van start from £54 per hour in London and £54 per hour in regional areas, both including a driver and loading assistant.
Fixed quotes are available for all house removals — message us in the live chat for a price within the hour.

A three-seat sofa at 200 cm, a wardrobe at 180 cm, a dining table at 160 cm — all attract fees that stack up fast per item.
- 04
A single Luton van booking with Giant Van covers all those items in one trip at a flat rate — no per-item fees, no oversize surcharges, no redelivery windows.
- 05
As a UK furniture courier, Giant Van handles items that mainstream parcel networks cannot move: antiques, glass table tops, dismantled bed frames, exercise equipment, and display units.
- 06
The enclosed aluminium box body keeps items dry and secure without requiring external shrink-wrap.

For businesses moving display furniture between sites or homeowners buying at auction, Luton van hire UK on a flat-rate basis is consistently more cost-effective than courier services once you move beyond three or four large items.

Why Customers Choose Us for Luton Van
Sending heavy parcels within the UK becomes economical with a van service once you exceed three or four large items on the same route.
Couriers charge per item and apply weight and size bands that compound quickly — a 30 kg box over 120 cm on a route of 200 miles can cost £40–£80 per piece through a pallet network.
Giant Van's Luton van hire covers the same route with unlimited load space at a flat rate.
The driver collects from your door, drives directly to the delivery address, and unloads in person.
No depot transfers, no redelivery cards, no damaged items from automated sortation systems.
For small businesses moving product to a trade show, auction houses transporting sold lots, or individuals shipping furniture bought online, van hire for heavy UK parcels is the practical alternative.
