Vans Equipment
All our vans are equipped with trolleys, blankets, straps, bungee cords, tracking, sat-nav.
Helpers
If you order one helper, it means that the driver will load and unload the van.
If you order 2 men it means that driver and helper will do all loading.
Please consider ordering two helpers if some of the items you transport are too heavy or too large to carry, or there are more than 2 floors without a lift.
Please note that when ordering one helper and there are large or heavy objects our staff has the right to refuse to carry with the client for the safety reason of the customer and our staff.
When you order one helper sometime we may send 2 people, but only one helper you ordered will do the loading according to the order, unless you want to order an additional helper.
Customers are not allowed to help with carry heave or bulky items with helpers due to health and safety of the insurance policy.
Please remember that when you choose 2 men, then your move will goes smoothly and will take less time.
Quotation
If you need 2 vans then you need to place 2 individual orders.
With one van you can have up to 2 men to help.
The booking price includes one full load of requested van size (from point A to B or A - B - C - D - E…), if more than one load of full van is required, then for each additional load we charge an additional fee (equivalent to one hour on top of the price) plus distance and time if the move takes longer.
If the order exceeds the ordered time, we charge fees in 30-minute blocks, however, whether we can stay longer depends on how much time we have to reach the next client. Therefore, we ask you to estimate the loading and unloading time as accurately as possible and do not underestimate the time needed for moving.
By filling out a Quotation Form you’ll see all factors affecting the price based on the selection you are doing on the quotation form.
The online quote is influenced by: van size, the number of helpers, the distance, the number of floors if there is no elevator in the building, toll zone in Central London - Congestion Charge Zone, and Ultra Low Emission Zone (if one of the addresses is in the toll zone). Check also below what is included and not included in the price.
