A man with a van right across Hampshire
Hampshire is a big south-coast county built around two maritime cities, Portsmouth and Southampton, with the ancient capital of Winchester inland and Basingstoke anchoring the commuter north. Between them lie the New Forest in the west, the military towns of Aldershot and Farnborough in the east, and the Solent ports that run ferries to the Isle of Wight, all linked by the M3 and M27.
The upshot is a Porta driver usually working within reach of your address, from a Basingstoke estate to a Portsmouth terrace. This is the same man with a van network we run nationwide, trained on your part of Hampshire, and with the M3 carrying constant traffic to and from London there’s a fair chance a driver is already on a run you can tag onto.
Over 450 vetted drivers serve the Hampshire area.
- One network reaching every corner of Hampshire, Basingstoke down to the Solent and the New Forest
- The same driver and van handle the whole move, straight through with no depot stops
- Help lifting and carrying at both ends is built in, not an added line
- Because a driver is often already nearby on a Hampshire job, the quote comes down

A man with a van in Hampshire through Porta is priced per job, not by the hour, so you get one fixed, upfront price before you book. Hampshire covers a lot of ground, from Basingstoke in the north down to the Solent, so distances vary and a fixed price is clearer than a meter. Here’s how the two compare:
Typical local man and van
By the hour
- Often around £40 to £60 an hour
- Usually a minimum of about two hours
- The meter runs through loading, traffic and unloading
- The final cost isn’t clear until the job is done
With Porta
One fixed price
- One upfront price for the whole job
- Agreed before you book, no hourly meter
- No two-hour minimum if your job is quick
- What you see is what you pay
* Local hourly rates are a guide to what other man and van services typically charge, not a Porta price. With Porta you get one fixed price for the whole job, confirmed before you book.

Hampshire man and van FAQs
How much does a man with a van cost in Hampshire?
You pay one price for the whole job rather than an hourly rate. Porta agrees it before you book, so a trip from Basingstoke down to Portsmouth is fixed rather than climbing on a meter. Hourly movers in Hampshire generally run £40 to £60 an hour on a two-hour minimum, charging through the loading, the traffic and the unloading. The Porta price comes from the items, the distance and any help you need lifting, all laid out before you say yes. Run a quote for your figure.
Which Hampshire towns do you cover?
The full county. That means Basingstoke, Portsmouth, Winchester, Fareham, Gosport, Aldershot, Farnborough, Andover, Eastleigh, Havant and Fleet. Southampton is handled on its own man with a van Southampton page. Type your collection and delivery postcodes into a quote to see the drivers close to you.
Can I book a same-day man and van in Hampshire?
Often, if a driver is close and free. Last-minute and same-day work, from the Solent cities up to the New Forest and Basingstoke, can generally be matched depending on availability, so a quick quote will show what can happen today for your postcode.
Do you cover moves from Hampshire to London?
Yes. The M3 links Hampshire straight to the capital, so London moves are a regular fixture. A driver is frequently heading that way already, which can keep the cost down; enter both postcodes for a price and see man with a van London for the far end.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge for a man with a van in Hampshire?
For a man and van, no. Portsmouth runs a Clean Air Zone, but it is a Class B zone that only charges older buses, coaches, taxis and heavy goods vehicles, not vans or cars, so a man-with-a-van move is not charged to drive into it. Southampton looked at a charging zone but did not bring one in. So there is no clean-air charge for your move anywhere in Hampshire, and nothing extra to settle on the day.
Does the driver help with loading?
Yes, and it comes as standard, not as an extra. The driver handles the lifting at both ends, which is the difference between a man and van and a self-drive hire you load yourself. Hampshire runs from New Forest cottages to Victorian terraces in Portsmouth and Southampton, often with stairs, so if a heavy item needs two people, say so when you quote and the right help is sent.
Do you cover student moves in Hampshire?
Yes. Hampshire has a big student population around the University of Winchester and the University of Portsmouth, and a man and van is ideal for moving between halls, shared houses and flats at the start and end of term. Tell us your pickup, drop-off and what you’re moving for a fixed price.
What size van will I get?
Whatever the load calls for. A single bookcase might go in a small van, while clearing a two-bed flat in Basingstoke or Portsmouth is a Luton-van job. Share your item list when you quote and a driver with the right van is matched, so you are not paying for empty space on the run down to the coast.
