How our UK man and van works

01

Instant fixed price - no marketplace bidding

AnyVan and Shiply are marketplace platforms where you post your job and wait for delivery companies to bid or quote. That takes hours or days and the price can change. TowManVan gives you an instant fixed price before you confirm, dispatches the nearest vetted operator immediately, and you track them live. No posting, no quotes, no bidding.

02

DBS-checked, insured drivers

Every operator passes five checks before their first job: photo ID and DBS background check, DVLA licence verification, trade insurance confirmation, vehicle inspection, and platform training induction. Low-rated operators are reviewed and removed - standards are maintained actively, not just promised.

03

Three van sizes, one pricing model

Small van (£35/hr) for a 1-bed flat or single item. Medium van (£45/hr) - our most popular - for a 2–3 bed house, student clear or small office move. Luton van (£60/hr) with tail lift for a full 3–4 bed house or large office. When in doubt, go one size up - it's usually cheaper than a second trip.

04

Removal service, not a removal company

A traditional removal company typically requires a surveyor visit, a written quote, and several days' lead time. TowManVan is an on-demand removal service - instant fixed price in 60 seconds, vetted driver dispatched immediately, live tracking throughout. For straightforward house moves, this is faster, cheaper and more transparent than a traditional removal firm.

Expert insight - How the pricing actually works

Why we price by the hour, not by the mile.

Traditional removal firms quote a fixed job price built on a 15-minute surveyor visit plus contingency padding, and that padding absorbs any risk they see in your move - narrow stairs, parked cars outside, heavy wardrobes. You pay the same whether the move takes two hours or five. Man-and-van marketplaces like AnyVan or Shiply flip that: you post, drivers bid, and the lowest bid often hides a small van that's too tight for your load plus extra per-item charges on the day.

TowManVan uses a transparent hourly rate with a 2-hour minimum and 15-minute increments after that. A local 2-bed flat move with a medium van typically runs 3–4 hours (£135–£180) - roughly half the £290–£400 a traditional removal firm would quote for the same job. A 3-bed house with a Luton and a second helper sits around 5–6 hours (£360–£432). You pay for the time you actually use, not a padded estimate, and there are no per-mile, per-box or fuel surcharges within the city service area.

Every driver holds goods-in-transit insurance (£10,000 single-journey cover), £5m public liability, and passes a photo ID + DBS background check before their first job. The vehicle is inspected annually. If you need fragile wrapping, a packing service, a tail lift or a two-person lift for heavy items, each is a clearly priced add-on in the app rather than a mystery line on an invoice.

Booked a medium van for my flat move. Driver arrived on time, helped with boxes, finished in 3 hours. Tracked him live the whole way. Brilliant - much better than going through AnyVan where I had to wait for quotes.
PSPriya S.Manchester M14 · January 2026
Used the Luton van for our 3-bed house move. Two guys, done in four and a half hours. Fixed price shown before booking - no nasty surprise when it was done. First class.
TRTom R.Birmingham B5 · November 2025
Student move from halls to private flat. Small van, booked in a minute, driver helped carry everything. £35/hr, done in 2 hours. Would use again and again.
AOAisha O.Leeds LS1 · February 2026
Office move with the Luton van plus a second helper. Everything done in 4 hours, driver efficient and professional. AnyVan was going to cost more and took 4 hours just to get quotes back.
