Van size details
Plus load / unload estimations, passenger seats and other requirements.
Loading And Unloading Time Estimations
We only charge the time, distance and help you actually use during your move, measured by our unique real-time tracking tech.
You’re not committed to the exact load-times you book, but try to be accurate for scheduling and your cost expectations.
Be aware that flights of stairs, difficult angles, lengths of hallways, distance from door to van, waiting for lifts, etc. take longer.
Helper Requirements
Drivers help lift and carry your items to any room on any floor at no extra cost. Use extra porters for items which you’re not comfortable lifting with your driver – or if you want us to take care of it all for you!
The Porter icon at the top of van selection page lets you choose more help.
Available Passenger Seats
You can travel with us free – the Chair icon shows available passenger seats for each van. Most vans have 3 seats (driver plus 2). Select a van with the amount you need and confirm on the booking page.
Choosing Van Size
We don’t need an exact itinerary of your load – you won’t know exact amounts until you’re packed, plus weights and dimensions are hard to measure – but please try to select a suitable sized van for your load.
We’ll always try to complete your move (even doing multiple runs if required, and time allows) but if unsure then please opt for the next size up. It will almost certainly save time and money in the end!
