Transit Vans Are Great for Moves to Affordable UK Locations
Many of our transit van hire customers are heading to a cheaper place to live in the UK — towns like Middlesbrough, Stoke-on-Trent, Bradford, and Hull consistently top affordability rankings.
Fixed Price
A transit van is sized correctly for a studio or one-bedroom move to these locations: enough room for a bed, a sofa, a wardrobe, and a run of boxes without paying for unused van space.
Giant Van covers the full UK mainland, so if you are relocating from London to a more affordable northern town or moving between any two cities, we can put a transit van on your collection address.
Regional rates start at £35 for one-way moves.

Get your exact priceConsidering Great Places to Live in Spain? Move Your UK Belongings First
A growing number of our transit van customers are clearing UK properties before relocating to great places to live in Spain — Valencia, Alicante, the Costa Blanca, and Murcia are popular destinations.
The transit van handles the UK end: collecting furniture and boxes from your current address, transporting them to a freight depot or storage facility, and loading them ready for onward shipping or storage.
We have experience working with international shipping agents and can time our collection to meet container loading schedules.
This approach keeps UK clearance costs down — a transit van move to a depot is far cheaper than a full removal lorry.
Once your UK property is cleared and your international freight is arranged, you can hand over the keys without a second trip.

Transit Van for Hire — FAQs
How much does a transit van weigh — and does it matter for access?
A Ford Transit LWB has a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of around 3,500 kg when loaded, which is the maximum for a standard category B licence. The kerb weight unladen is roughly 1,900 to 2,100 kg depending on the variant. For access purposes, the 3.5 tonne GVW means a transit van can use most residential roads, car parks, and weight-restricted zones that exclude heavier vehicles. If your property has a low bridge, a narrow lane, or a weight-limit sign, let us know at booking so we can plan the approach route.
Can I get cardboard boxes at the cheapest price when booking a transit van?
Giant Van supplies removal boxes at competitive prices when you book a transit van hire. We offer standard double-wall cardboard boxes in small, medium, and large sizes. Ordering through us is usually more cost-effective than buying in small quantities from a hardware shop, and we can deliver them to your address ahead of the move date. Ask about box bundles when you call +44 7414 655129.
