To make sure you book the right van size, make sure you include an accurate item list when getting your quote. A small van suits single items or a few boxes, while larger moves may need a Luton van. Our instant quote system helps match you with the right size van for your needs, so you don't overpay for space you don't need.

We recommend booking at least a week in advance where possible, but there's some flexibility based on what you need help with. Here's a simple guide:

For Small Jobs: (e.g., moving a single sofa, a few boxes, or a marketplace collection)
Booking 2-3 days in advance is usually fine.

For Bigger Moves: (e.g. a student move, long-distance, or moving lots of items)
We recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead, especially if you need a popular weekend slot. This gives you the best choice of drivers and secures the right van size.

Short-notice bookings:
We often have partners available for next-day and same-day moves. Get a quote to check availability in your area.

When booking, an accurate item list helps us assign the correct van and avoid last-minute changes on the day.

Your items are fully protected during your move. All bookings come with Goods in Transit insurance, which covers your belongings from the moment they’re loaded until they’re safely unloaded.

Gold drivers provide additional peace of mind with Public Liability insurance. Once your booking is confirmed, your receipt includes a clear record of your driver’s insurance information.
