Is a man with a van in Ashford cheaper than van hire?

For most small moves it works out similar or cheaper once you count fuel, insurance and your own time — and the driver does the lifting with you.

What size van do you use?

Most bookings use a Luton van, which fits roughly a studio or one-bed flat. Smaller jobs may get a medium van.

Can you do a small man and van move from London to Ashford?

Yes — our man and van is from £50 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and longer runs like London to Ashford are quoted as a fixed price so the drive time is clear up front.

Moving in Ashford — local notes

Large modern estates such as Kingsnorth, Singleton and Repton Park, Victorian terraces closer to the town centre, and rural cottages and farmhouses in the surrounding villages.

New estates are generally easy for a Luton van, though some have narrow shared drives. The town centre ring road is one-way, and the M20 at junctions 9 and 10 is the main route in from London.
