Man and Van Hire in Southampton

Man and van hire gives you a van, a driver and a second person to lift, without the cost or paperwork of a full removals contract. It is the middle option for the days when you do not need a removals firm but do not want to do the whole thing yourself either.

It suits a part-load across Southampton, a couple of hours moving furniture between flats in Shirley or Bitterne, or a collection you cannot manage in the car. Tell us what needs shifting and we bring the right van and the muscle for it.

Paid by the load or by the hour

For a clear point-to-point job we quote a set price for the load, so you know the cost before we pull away. For open-ended work, like clearing a garage or ferrying bits between two nearby addresses, we can charge by the hour instead. Whichever suits, we agree it up front so the bill never surprises you.

Most single-van jobs are one trip. If it honestly needs two, we say so rather than cramming the load and risking damage.

The driver lifts too

The driver is there to carry, load and stack, not just to steer, so you are not left doing the heavy work alone. For larger pieces we send two people, which is the sensible call for wardrobes, sofa beds and anything that takes two to move safely.

Tell us the heaviest thing on the list and we make sure we arrive with enough hands for it.

The jobs people book us for

Man and van hire fills the gap between a courier and a full removal: a marketplace sofa, a fridge from a relative, a few boxes to a storage unit, or the half of a move a friend's car could not take. If it fits in a van and needs lifting, we do it somewhere across Southampton most days.

A single item is as welcome as a van loaded to the back doors, and it is priced to match.

Booking a van and a driver

Give us the pickup, the drop-off, a rough idea of what is moving and the access at both ends. That is enough to quote and hold a slot, often for the same or the next day.

Get in touch for a price and we will line up a van and a driver for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge by the hour or by the job?+

Both. Clear point-to-point moves are usually a set price for the load, while open-ended jobs can run by the hour. We agree which before we start.

Will the driver help me carry?+

Yes, the driver helps load and carry. For heavy pieces we send two people, so mention the heaviest item when you book.

Is one small item worth booking?+

Yes. Single items and part-loads are a large share of what we do, and they are priced accordingly.

Can you make a second stop on the way?+

Yes, extra pickups and drop-offs are fine. List them when you ask for the price so the route and the figure cover them properly.

How do you decide which van to send?+

By what is actually moving, rather than sending the same vehicle to every job. Describe the load roughly and we will tell you the size it needs and whether it goes in one trip.

Is the Itchen Bridge toll charged on top?+

No, anything like that is built into the figure we give you. If a run crosses the bridge, the cost sits in the quote rather than turning up afterwards.
