Man With a Van
one driver, one van, one price.
The classic man-with-a-van service, minus the phone tag. One vetted driver and the right-sized van, booked by the hour from £35. He helps load, he helps unload, and the price you saw in the app is the price you pay.
A man with a van on TowManVan costs £35/hr (small van), £45/hr (medium) or £60/hr (Luton), with a 2-hour minimum - about £70 for a typical single-item move. The driver loads and unloads with you, fuel is included, and a second pair of hands costs £12/hr. Book in 60 seconds in the app. Launching across 19 UK cities on 1st July 2026.
Sofa across town, flat into storage, marketplace pickup on the way home. If it fits a van, it books in a minute.
Services in UK
Fixed upfront prices. No membership fees. Live operator tracking across every postcode in UK.
One-Man Jobs
Washing machines, two-seater sofas, boxed loads and flatpack: one driver with trolley and straps handles the standard list solo. The 2-hour minimum covers most single-item moves door to door.
Two-Man Lifts
Corner sofas, wardrobes, anything up a tight staircase. Add the helper at booking and two people arrive together - far cheaper than damaging a wall or your back.
Marketplace Collections
Won the eBay auction, found the Gumtree bargain, spotted the Facebook Marketplace sofa? Send the driver to collect, pay by the hour, track the van to your door.
Small Flat Moves
Studios and 1-beds usually clear in 2-3 hours with a small van. For a 2-bed or larger, step up to the medium van or see our fixed-price removals.
How man with a van works on TowManVan
Why hourly beats fixed quotes for small jobs
A removal firm quoting a sofa move has to price in the unknown, so small-job quotes run high. By the hour, you pay for exactly the time used: collect, drive, deliver, done. Most single-item jobs finish inside the 2-hour minimum, which makes £70 the realistic all-in cost of moving almost anything across town.
The driver actually helps
This is man WITH a van, not van hire. Loading, carrying and unloading are part of the service, and every driver carries a trolley, straps and blankets. You are never left watching someone sit in the cab while you struggle with a mattress.
Vetted, insured, tracked
Every driver passes a DBS check, DVLA licence verification, goods-in-transit insurance confirmation and a vehicle inspection before their first job. You see the driver's name, rating and live location from the moment they accept.
