Is a man with a van in Dartford 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.

How much is a man and van from south London to Dartford?

Our man and van is from £50/hour with a 2-hour minimum, so a small move to Dartford is often one of the cheaper jobs we do.

Moving in Dartford — local notes

Victorian terraces near the town centre, inter-war semis in Wilmington and Joydens Wood, and large new-build estates at Ingress Park and around Ebbsfleet.

Most residential streets suit a Luton van. Traffic around the Dartford Crossing and the A282 can back up quickly, so we time journeys to avoid the worst of it.
