Is a man with a van in Gravesend 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 Gravesend — local notes

Victorian terraces near the town centre, period homes, post-war estates and new riverside apartments.

Streets near the riverside and the town centre are narrow, and some are one-way, so we check loading spots in advance. The A2 runs south of the town and traffic builds near the Ebbsfleet junctions at peak times.
