Is a man with a van in Gateshead 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.

Moving in Gateshead — local notes

Victorian terraces and Tyneside flats, inter-war semis, post-war estates and new apartments near the quayside.

Tyneside flats mean one home upstairs and one downstairs, so stairs and doors are shared. The A1 western bypass and the Tyne bridges can be congested.
