Man and Van vs. Full Removals – What’s the Difference?

Many people wonder whether to book a man and van or a full removals service. Both are great options, but the right choice depends on the size of your move, budget, and level of support you need.

✅ Man and Van

• Best for small moves, single items, student relocations, or partial house moves.

• Flexible and affordable, usually charged by the hour.

• One mover (sometimes two) with a van, offering loading, transport, and unloading.

• Perfect if you’re happy to help with lifting or only need light assistance.

🏠 Full Removals Service

• Ideal for larger moves such as full flats, houses, or offices.

• Includes a full moving crew, larger vehicles, and more equipment.

• Often comes with optional extras like packing, storage, dismantling, and unpacking.

• More comprehensive and hands-off — the team does all the heavy lifting and logistics.

👉 In short: A man and van is a cost-effective choice for smaller jobs, while full removals provide a complete moving package for bigger or more complex relocations. With BookAMover, you can compare both options in minutes and choose what suits your needs best.

Things to Keep in Mind When Hiring a Man and Van

Before booking, make sure you check the details so there are no surprises on moving day:

• Van size & crew – Confirm the vehicle is big enough and whether one or two movers are included.

• Insurance cover – Ensure the service includes Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance.

• Access & parking – Check if the van can park close to your property and if permits are needed.

• Hourly charges – Ask how pricing works, including waiting times, fuel costs, and overtime fees.

• Special items – Tell the company in advance if you have heavy or delicate items like pianos or safes.

👉 Taking a few minutes to double-check these points can save time, money, and stress on moving day.
