How Much Does a Man and Van Cost in London in 2026?
Man and Van Pricing Breakdown
In 2026, man and van prices in London typically range from £25 to £65 per hour depending on van size. Here’s what you can expect:
- Small Van (SWB): £25–30/hr — ideal for single items and studio moves
- Medium Van (MWB): £35–40/hr — perfect for 1-bed flat moves
- Large Van (LWB): £45–50/hr — suitable for 2-3 bed flats
- Luton Van: £55–65/hr — needed for houses and large moves
Factors That Affect Your Price
Several factors influence the final cost: distance between addresses, number of floors and stair access, amount of belongings, time of week (weekends may vary), and whether you need packing services.
The Congestion Charge Factor
If either your pickup or delivery address falls within the London Congestion Charge Zone, expect a £15 surcharge per entry. This reflects the actual charge movers must pay to TfL.
Tips to Save Money
Book midweek if possible, declutter before moving day, pack yourself to save on labour time, and be ready when the team arrives — waiting time costs money.
