Is a man with a van in Cardiff 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 stadium event days in Cardiff?

Yes — tell us your dates and we’ll check for big events at the Principality Stadium, as road closures can affect the city centre.

Moving in Cardiff — local notes

Victorian terraces in Cathays, Roath and Canton, apartment blocks in Cardiff Bay and the city centre, and larger family homes in Llandaff, Whitchurch and Pontprennau.

Many terraced streets are permit-controlled and heavily parked. Major events at the Principality Stadium close roads in the city centre, and the M4 and A470 are the main routes.
