A man with a van right across Inverness
Porta has vetted drivers across Inverness and out through the Highlands, from the castle and the River Ness to Crown, Dalneigh, Culloden and Inshes, so help is rarely far in the Highland capital. It is the nationwide man with a van service on home turf, run by drivers who know the river bridges, the A9 north and south and the IV postcodes. With a driver often already on the road across the Highlands, sharing the trip keeps the price and the empty miles down.
Over 25 vetted Porta drivers cover Inverness and the wider Highlands.
- Right across Inverness and out into the Highlands
- One vetted driver and van the whole way, no handovers
- The lifting and the carrying are part of the price
- Drivers who know the castle, the River Ness and the IV postcodes

What our customers say
Excellent service from start to finish. Easy to book, great communication and updates.The van driver collecting and delivering my item was polite, friendly and helpful. Photo supplied at pick up and live location of van so I could see exactly when it would arrived.
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.
Excellent service and speedy efficient delivery! Thanks Darren!

Inverness man and van FAQs
How is a man with a van in Inverness priced?
A man and van in Inverness costs one fixed price with Porta, agreed before you book rather than by the hour. Highland operators mostly meter it, around £45 to £65 an hour on a two-hour minimum, and the distances up here stack up quickly. Porta gives you the whole figure first, down to the load, the run and any help you want. Quote your postcodes for yours.
Do you cover the whole of Inverness?
All of Inverness and out across the Highlands, from the castle and the River Ness through Crown, Dalneigh, Culloden and Inshes to Raigmore and Westhill. Drop your pickup and drop-off postcodes into the quote to see the drivers nearest you.
Can Porta do a same-day move in Inverness?
Often, yes. When a vetted driver is free near your Inverness pickup, Porta can take the job on the same day or at short notice. It hinges on who is around, so run a quote and the live options show up there and then.
What sort of things can you move in Inverness?
Most things short of a full house-clearance. In Inverness that means single items, part-loads and small flat moves, with the bulky, two-person pieces a parcel firm refuses very much on the list: sofas, beds, wardrobes, washing machines and fridge-freezers.
Will the driver help me load up?
Yes. Loading and carrying is part of the service, not an add-on, so you are not left wrestling a wardrobe on your own the way a self-drive hire leaves you. Heavy item or stairs with no lift? Say so when you quote and the right help comes with the van.
How does parking and access work in Inverness?
Tell us about both ends when you quote. Inverness has the compact city centre around the High Street and the river, with one-way streets and controlled parking, so a central or riverside pickup can need a loading spot planned. Note any permit bays, stairs or restrictions and your driver works out the approach.
Is there a call-out fee or a minimum charge?
No. There is no call-out fee and no two-hour minimum to pay through. The job is one fixed price agreed before you book, so a quick, short move costs what it costs rather than being rounded up to fill an hourly slot.
Do you handle student moves in Inverness?
Yes. The University of the Highlands and Islands has its campus in the city and draws students in, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, the drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Is there a Low Emission Zone charge in Inverness?
No. Scotland's Low Emission Zones run only in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee, so Inverness has none and there is no daily charge to drive a van through the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the job, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
