Van Sizes & What Fits
Not sure what to book? Use this quick guide, then list your items when you get a quote — we’ll match you with the right van and optional helpers.
If you’re between sizes, choose the larger option — it’s usually cheaper than needing a second trip.
| Van size | Best for | Typical examples | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | Single items & light loads | A few boxes, suitcases, small furniture, small appliances, compact sofa/chair pickup | Great for quick Cardiff jobs and tight streets. If you’re moving multiple bulky items, size up. |
| Medium van | Furniture collections & “one-room” moves | Bed frame + mattress, chest of drawers, desk + chair, several boxes, store/marketplace collections | A common choice for flats and student moves. Add a helper if lifting is needed. |
| Large / LWB van | Heavier loads & small flat moves | Multiple larger items (sofa + bed + boxes), bigger pickups, storage runs with bulky furniture | Better when you’ve got several “big pieces”. If you want fewer trips, this is often the upgrade. |
| Luton van | Bulky items & bigger small-move jobs | Multiple sofas, wardrobes, larger flat moves, bulky loads that need extra vertical space | Ideal for volume and awkward shapes. If you’re moving lots of large furniture, this is usually the safest choice. |
This guide is indicative. Fit depends on item dimensions, how they can be stacked, and any packing materials used. For the most accurate match, list each item when quoting.
When to Size Up
- Corner sofas, large wardrobes, or multiple bulky items
- American-style fridge freezers or very heavy appliances
- Lots of boxes + several pieces of furniture
- You want to avoid doing multiple trips
Add your items, access details (stairs/lift), and choose driver-only or helpers.

How much can I expect to pay to hire a man and van in Cardiff?
A man and van service in Cardiff usually costs from around £20 per hour for smaller local jobs, rising to £50–£60 per hour when you need a larger van or an extra pair of hands. Your final price depends on the van size, distance travelled, access at each property, and how much help is required on the day.
Typical examples:
- Short local move (Transit van, 1 helper, ~5 miles, around 2 hours): £120–£150, with customers often saving 10–20% compared to similar services.
- Larger single-trip job (Luton van, 1–2 helpers, ~10–20 miles, around 2–3 hours): £180–£240 depending on access and distance.
Every booking includes the van, driver, loading help, and Goods in Transit insurance. The price shown at checkout is the amount you’ll pay. For an accurate total based on your distance, access, and inventory, get an instant quote.
Can I add several pick-ups or drop-offs during one man and van booking?
Yes — adding multiple pick-ups or drop-offs is completely fine. This is common for students, renters, and anyone collecting items from different addresses.
Typical examples:
- Collecting furniture from several sellers across Cardiff
- Stopping at a storage unit before heading to your new place
- Moving between shared houses with a stop at your parents’ home
When you request your quote, list all postcodes in order. This helps your driver plan the route efficiently and ensures your price is accurate.
Do man and van drivers handle both short hops and longer-distance moves?
Yes. Cardiff-based drivers can support both short local moves and longer point-to-point journeys when you need to travel further across the UK. Whether it’s a small local job or a longer trip, the price is always fixed based on the details you enter in your quote request.
Your quote takes into consideration:
- the distance between addresses
- the size of van required
- how much loading and unloading time is needed
- access at each property (parking, stairs, narrow spaces)
Typical longer-distance bookings include:
- transporting furniture or boxes between cities
- moving items for university term-time or end-of-year travel
- point-to-point journeys for work relocations or furniture deliveries
Because every quote is calculated from your exact details, you’ll always see a clear fixed total before you confirm your booking — no hidden fees and no hourly uncertainty.
What kinds of jobs can a man with a van help with?
Man and van services in Cardiff are ideal for smaller to medium-sized moves—anything that’s too big for your car but doesn’t require a full removal team. Our local drivers handle a wide range of jobs across the city and surrounding areas.
Common bookings include:
- Small home or flat moves across Cardiff
- Student moves to and from Cardiff University or Cardiff Met
- Furniture and appliance collections, including marketplace pickups
- Storage-unit drop-offs and collections
- Single-item transport for bulky items like sofas or white goods
You can add an extra helper for heavy items or stairs, and each job includes insured transport and loading support.
How are my belongings protected during a man and van move?
All drivers booked through our platform carry Goods in Transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being loaded, transported, and unloaded. Many also hold Public Liability insurance, offering extra protection for the properties involved.
Drivers use blankets, straps, and trolleys to move items safely. If you have fragile or high-value pieces, mentioning them in your booking helps the driver bring suitable equipment and plan the safest way to load and secure them.
If you have any questions about insurance levels, our customer support team is available seven days a week.
html Copy codeHow flexible are man and van bookings when my plans change?
Man and van bookings are designed to be flexible. You can usually update your item list, add an extra helper, adjust your time slot, or change the date as long as a driver is available. Small updates rarely affect your booking total unless they require more time or a larger van.
For the smoothest experience, please let us know if:
- Your start time needs to be moved earlier or later
- You need to add items to your inventory
- Parking or access has changed at either address
Any change to your booking — big or small — must be confirmed with our team so your driver receives the updated details. Call us on 0333 123 0240 and we’ll adjust your booking for you. Larger updates, such as adding helpers or changing properties, may affect the final price in line with our Terms & Conditions.
