Man with a Van Brighton

A Brighton man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not a rate by the hour. Local firms here usually run a meter, often £45 to £65 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and the hills, narrow streets and seafront traffic all eat into that time. Porta gives you the whole figure first; it depends on what you are moving, the distance and whether you want help loading. Quote to see your price.

All of Brighton and Hove and out into East Sussex, from North Laine, the Lanes and Kemptown to Hanover, Preston Park, Portslade and out to Saltdean. Put your pickup and drop-off postcodes into the quote to see the nearest drivers.

Most things, from one item to a small house move, including the bulky and awkward pieces plenty of couriers turn down. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances, flat and student moves, and second-hand pickups from eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are all fine.

Yes, and on Brighton hills that matters. The driver loads and unloads with you, unlike a self-drive hire where it is all down to you. If something is heavy, or there are stairs up to a Kemptown flat with no lift, flag it when you quote so the right level of help comes along.

Tell us about access at both ends when you quote. Brighton has steep hills up from the sea, narrow Regency terraces in Kemptown and Hanover, the pedestrianised Lanes and heavy resident-permit parking, so a central or hillside pickup can need a loading spot worked out. Note any permit bays, stairs or tight access and your driver plans the approach.

No call-out fee and no two-hour minimum. The job is one fixed price, agreed before you book, so a quick Brighton move is not rounded up to fill an hourly slot and nothing extra appears on the day.

Yes. Brighton has a big student population, with the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton drawing thousands to Hanover, Lewes Road and Moulsecoomb, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.

No. Brighton runs an older low-emission zone for buses in the centre, but there is no charging Clean Air Zone for vans, so nothing extra is added to your move. Your quote is one fixed, upfront price with no clean-air charge to settle on the day. Enter your exact Brighton postcodes when you quote and the full figure comes back.
