Man with a van Hull
Hull, Hessle, Cottingham and the villages round aboutMan with a van in Hull for house removals, flat moves and single items, from local drivers who know the terraces, the Avenues and the run out to Hessle and Cottingham. Put in both postcodes and how long you'll need, and you'll see the Hull drivers who cover it and what each would charge.
Which van for your move?
- Medium vanA student room, a studio, a settee and a few boxes.
- Large vanA one-bed flat, or a small terrace that's not packed with furniture.
- Luton (Extra large)Most two and three-bed terraces in one go, wardrobes stood up.
If it's close, go bigger. The step up in price is small, and a second run across town costs far more.

How a booking goes, start to finish
The Hull jobs that come through this site are done by independent local drivers in their own vans.
- You enter the two postcodes and the loading time. The drivers who cover that route show up with their price.
- You choose a driver and a van. A deposit is held on your card.
- The driver accepts and messages you to sort the time. That's when the deposit is taken. If they can't, another local driver is offered it.
- On the day they load, drive and unload. You pay them the balance at the end, cash or bank transfer.

What a man with a van costs in Hull
There's no price board on this site, because every driver charges their own way. Your price is built from:
- the run there and back, which is counted in already;
- the loading and unloading time you pick, which is most of it on a job inside Hull;
- the size of van;
- a second person, if your driver can bring one and you want them.
Run over the time you booked and the extra is charged at that driver's rate, shown before you confirm. Bridge tolls and any paid parking go on top. Having everything boxed and by the door is the easiest way to keep it down.

Removals and man and van jobs in Hull
House removals
Hull is terraces, flats over shops and post-war semis, and most of them move in one or two van loads. Book a Luton for a full terrace, and say if there's a narrow passage or a back gate.
Furniture and single items
A lot of Hull jobs are one piece: a settee off Marketplace, a cooker up to a fourth-floor flat, a bed out to Brough. A Medium van and an hour usually does it.
Offices and shops
Desks, stock and shop fittings, done before opening or after you shut. Tell the driver about loading bays and lifts when they get in touch.
Students
Halls, shared houses off Newland Avenue and Cottingham Road, and the run home at the end of term. See the student dates below.
Book a driverHouse, flat, single item or shop, it's the same form.
Crossing the Humber
Moves to Barton, Scunthorpe or Grimsby go over the Humber Bridge, and the van pays a toll each way on top of your price. Bigger vans can fall into a higher band. The Humber Bridge tolls guide has the bands and how to pay so nobody gets an admin charge afterwards.
Student moves and Hull's term dates
The University of Hull works in trimesters, so the rush weeks aren't where you'd expect: the week before Welcome Week in September, after the January exams, and late May. Book early if you're moving then. All this year's dates are in the University of Hull move dates guide.
Parking a van on Hull's terraces
A lot of Hull's terraces can't be reached by van at all, and parts of the city are resident permit zones with not much room. How close the van gets to your door decides how long loading takes. The parking guide covers yellow lines, permit zones and visitor permits for the van.
Where the drivers go
All over Hull and out to the villages: the Avenues, Newland, Anlaby, Hessle, Kirk Ella, Willerby, Cottingham, Gipsyville, Dairycoates, Sutton, Bransholme, Kingswood, Marfleet, Hedon, Swanland and North Ferriby. Longer runs are fine too, and plenty of Hull jobs head up the A1 or across the Pennines.

Your questions about a man with a van in Hull
How much does a man with a van cost in Hull?
It depends on the job, so there's no single figure. Each driver puts their own price on it, based on the van, how long they're loading and unloading for, and the distance. Put in both postcodes and you'll see every Hull driver's price for your move, lowest first. The driving is already in that figure. If the van goes over the Humber Bridge or needs a paid space, that's extra.
Is it cheaper to get a skip or a man with a van?
They're for different things. A skip takes rubbish away. A man with a van moves things you're keeping: a settee to your new place, a bed to your mum's, boxes into a storage unit. Nobody here takes waste to the tip, so for clearing rubbish a skip or the council's bulky collection is the better bet.
Can I travel in the van?
Usually, if there's a free seat. Ask your driver when they message you to arrange the day. If the cab's full, they'll meet you at the new address.
Can I get a man with a van in Hull today?
Yes, you can send a request for today. Your driver will let you know if they can do it, and if nobody can, the hold on your card drops off.
What if the driver lets me down?
Another Hull driver gets offered the job. If no one can take it, the hold on your card is released and you don't pay a penny.
