Long Distance Removals

Why Compare Long Distance Movers

Long distance removals are more complex than local moves. The logistics, planning, fuel costs and scheduling all require careful coordination.

✔ Compare quotes, services and prices. Save up to 30% by letting movers compete
✔ Fully insured and licensed cross-country removal companies covering all major UK cities and towns
✔ Each moving partner is checked, inspected and has a high reputation
✔ Get multiple quotes with one request only
✔ Higher chance to get affordable moving company during busy periods

For longer routes, experienced movers plan fuel stops, rest breaks, overnight storage (if required), and structured unloading schedules. This level of coordination is why choosing the right company matters.

How Much Do Long-Distance Removals Cost in the UK?

The average cost of a long-distance move in the UK is around £1,400–£1,500, but the final price depends on distance, property size and access.

Distance is the main factor — as a rough guide, every additional 100 miles can add £250–£300 to cover fuel, mileage and driver time. Typical price ranges:

• 1-bedroom property: £650 – £900

• 2-bedroom property: £900 – £1,400

• 3-bedroom property: £1,200 – £2,000+

If you’re only moving a few items long-distance, a man and van service can often be more cost-effective than a full removal team. Additional services may increase the total:

• Packing service: £100 – £300 depending on volume

• Short-term storage: £20 – £40 per week

• Difficult access: Extra labour charges may apply (no lift, long carry distance, tight staircases)

Season also matters — summer and early autumn moves can cost 15–25% more due to higher demand.

Dedicated vs Part-Load Removals

Dedicated Vehicle

Your belongings travel directly from your old address to your new one without sharing space. This is faster and ideal for tight timelines.

Part-Load (Shared Load)

Your items share space with other customers moving along similar routes. This option is often more cost-effective but slightly more flexible on timing.

Comparing quotes helps you decide which option suits your budget and schedule.

Tips for a Successful Long-Distance Move

🗓 Plan early
Book your long-distance movers at least a month or two in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during busy periods like summer or month-end.

📦 Declutter before packing
Reduce the volume (and cost) of your move by donating, recycling, or selling items you no longer need. Less to pack, less to stress.

🧳 Pack smart and label clearly
Use strong boxes and label each one by room and contents. Keep essentials like clothes, chargers, documents, and toiletries in a separate “open-first” bag.

🐾 Moving with pets?
Keep your pets calm by bringing familiar items like bedding or toys. Schedule toilet and water breaks if travelling by car, and consider a pet carrier or crate.

👶 Travelling with children?
Pack favourite snacks, toys, books, and games to keep kids entertained. Maintain routines where possible to ease their transition. Moving with children can be complex and more stressful for families.

📍 Map out your route
If you’re driving, plan your journey in advance, including fuel stops and overnight breaks if needed. Avoid high-traffic times and check for road closures.
