Is a man with a van in Watford 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 between Watford and London?

Yes — Watford is only around 18 miles from central London, so Watford–London moves are some of the easiest we do.

Moving in Watford — local notes

Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semis in Garston and Oxhey, and modern flats around Watford Junction.

Most residential roads suit a Luton van. The ring road and the town centre near the Atria get busy, and streets close to Vicarage Road are restricted on Watford FC match days.
