Is a man with a van in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

Do you move to Newcastle from London?

Yes — at around 280 miles it’s a long-distance move that we plan and quote as a fixed price.
