Man with a Van Bristol

Through Porta, a man with a van in Bristol is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. Local firms here usually go by the hour, often £45 to £65 with a two-hour minimum, so even a small job builds up once loading and the city's traffic are counted. Porta shows the full price first; it comes down to what you're moving, how far across the city it goes and whether you want a hand loading. Get a quote for your figure.

The whole of Bristol and out into the West of England, from the Harbourside and Clifton to Bedminster, Easton, Bishopston, Henleaze, Fishponds and out to Filton and Bradley Stoke. Pop your pickup and drop-off postcodes in when you quote to see the drivers nearest you.

Often, when a suitable driver is free close by. Porta can take on same-day and short-notice man and van jobs across Bristol, subject to availability. Quote your postcode to see what's live now.

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

Yes. Alongside local moves around the city, Porta runs long-distance and one-way trips out of Bristol, and because a driver is often already going that way they can come in cheaper than a full removal. A route move like Bristol to London is a good example. See the routes from Bristol below.

Yes, the driver loads and unloads with you, which is the part a self-drive hire leaves you to do alone. If something is very heavy or awkward, or there are stairs and no lift, flag it on your quote so the right help comes with the van.

Tell us about access at both ends when you quote. Bristol has steep hills around Clifton and Totterdown, narrow Victorian terraces and plenty of 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 will plan the approach.

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

Yes. Bristol has a big student population, with the University of Bristol and UWE drawing thousands to Clifton, Redland, Cotham and the centre, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, drop-off and what's going for a fixed price.

Bristol runs a charging Clean Air Zone across the city centre, where older, higher-emission vehicles pay a daily charge to drive in. Most man-and-van vans on the platform meet the standard (so no charge applies), but where a charge genuinely does, it is built into your fixed, upfront price, with nothing extra to settle on the day. Enter your exact Bristol pickup and drop-off postcodes when you quote and any charge is priced in.
