What our customers say
Excellent service! Communication from removal staff was excellent! Delivery of furniture was done with care and consideration. Will definitely use again!
Very good service, they delivered a valuable musical instrument for me safely, at a fair price and on time.
Thoroughly recommend! A real, human experience, rather than lazy AI. Helpful, genuine, well priced. A really pleasant experience. If you're tempted by another, *cough* Trust Pilot raving company, look here instead. Will happily use again.

Cambridge man and van FAQs
How much should a man and van in Cambridge cost?
With Porta it is a single fixed price for the job, agreed up front rather than charged hourly. Local meters tend to be £45 to £65 an hour on a two-hour minimum, and a move through the narrow, cycle-heavy centre eats into that quickly. Porta lays the whole figure out first, down to the load, the distance and whether you want help. Run a quote for yours.
What areas around Cambridge do you serve?
All of Cambridge and out into Cambridgeshire, from the centre and the colleges through Mill Road, Chesterton, Newnham and Trumpington to Cherry Hinton and Arbury. Add both postcodes at the quote for the closest drivers.
Is same-day man and van possible in Cambridge?
Yes in many cases. Because the network runs on drivers already on the move, a same-day pickup in Cambridge is often doable. Run the quote to confirm what can happen today.
What can Porta shift in Cambridge?
Single items right up to a small flat. In Cambridge the everyday loads are sofas, beds, wardrobes, fridge-freezers, boxes and second-hand finds, plus the bulky pieces a parcel firm will not carry.
Does someone give a hand with the lifting?
Every time. Your driver does the heavy carrying with you rather than watching you struggle, the way a hire firm would. Stairs, no lift, an awkward shape: flag it on the quote and the booking accounts for it.
What about getting the van close in Cambridge?
Cambridge's centre is the real consideration: narrow medieval streets, heavy cycle traffic and pedestrian zones, with bus gates and controlled, permit parking around the colleges and through Mill Road and Newnham. Tell us about both ends when you quote and your driver will plan the loading point and time a central pickup around the restrictions.
Do you charge a minimum or a call-out fee?
There is no minimum and no call-out fee. The cost is built around what you are actually moving, not a clock with a floor on it, so short jobs are genuinely cheaper rather than rounded up.
Can you move students around Cambridge?
Yes. Cambridge is a major student city, with the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin drawing thousands into the colleges, Mill Road and Chesterton, and a man and van is ideal for moving between colleges, halls, shared houses and flats. Give us the pickup, the drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Is there a congestion or clean-air charge in Cambridge?
No. A city-wide road-charging scheme was proposed for Cambridge and then dropped, and there is no charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to drive a van into the city today. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the job, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
