Is a man with a van in Cambridge 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 avoid Cambridge bus gates?

Yes — we plan the route to the loading point so the van doesn’t pass through restricted bus gates.
