A direct Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne man and van
Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne runs about 95 miles up the A1 through the North East, on the same nationwide man with a van network. One driver and van carry the load the whole way to Tyneside, nothing reloaded. When a driver is already running up, sharing that trip keeps the price down and cuts the empty miles back.
Over 200 vetted drivers serve the Leeds area.

Get a QuoteHow much does a Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne man and van cost?
A Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 1.75 to 2.25 hrs drive with loading at both ends, which is where an hourly bill mounts up. Here is the hourly way next to Porta's fixed price:
| What you're moving | Typical UK Man and Van Rates* | With Porta |
|---|---|---|
| A single item A bike, a TV, a mattress or a single boxed item | £192 one person, about 3 hrs incl. the drive | From £61 fixed |
| A large or awkward item A sofa, fridge-freezer, wardrobe or chest of drawers | £234 two people, about 3 hrs incl. the drive | From £76 fixed |
| A part-load or small move A student room, a studio flat or a part-load of furniture | £390 two people, about 5 hrs incl. the drive | From £195 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 95-mile job: loading, the near-two-hour run up the A1 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

What our customers say
Very good service, I would recommend you to anyone. One small glitch was that the seller should have sent a code with the driver to say it had been delivered so the seller could collect his money
Absolutely spot on! Amazing team, very helpful and kind. Id definitely use the service again!!
Porta have never failed me. Especially Rodger Bertie who is truly amazing in every sense of the word. Incredibly helpful, polite, kind and professional. Truly an asset to any company and business.
Real reviews from Google and Trustpilot, where Porta is rated Excellent.

Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne man and van FAQs
How far is Leeds to Newcastle by road?
Around 95 miles straight up the A1 through the North East, generally an hour and three quarters to two and a quarter. It runs as one continuous leg, no depot stop between.
What is the price, Leeds to Newcastle?
A fixed figure agreed before booking, not a running clock. Drivers head up the A1 to Tyneside regularly, so your items share a trip already going, from £61. The load and any stairs settle the total.
Would fixed or hourly suit this run?
Fixed. Across 95 miles an hourly rate would tot up loading, the drive north and unloading. Porta sets the whole-trip price up front, so a slow patch on the A1 adds nothing.
Do you also run Newcastle back to Leeds?
Yes, both ways. Send the Newcastle pickup and Leeds drop for a fixed southbound price.
What kind of loads go up to Newcastle?
From one heavy item to a small flat move, the bulky pieces couriers turn down included. Student moves, Marketplace buys and single furniture all suit the run north.
Do you help with the lifting?
Yes, shared with you at both ends. Flag anything very heavy or a Newcastle flat with no lift on the quote so the right help comes along.
Can it be done same day?
Often, where a driver is already heading north up the A1. Short-notice trips depend on who is free, so a quick quote shows the open slots.
What areas do you cover?
Pickups across Leeds, the centre and Headingley out to Chapel Allerton and Morley; deliveries across Newcastle and Tyneside, the Quayside and Heaton through to Gosforth and Gateshead, with a Ripon or Durham stop possible on the way.
Does the Newcastle Clean Air Zone apply?
Only at the Newcastle end. Leeds has no zone, so pickup is clear, while Newcastle and Gateshead run a Class C charging Clean Air Zone covering vans centrally. Most platform vans meet it, and any charge is built into your fixed price.
Can you take a sofa up the A1?
Yes, sofas run this way often. A two or three-seater goes in a Luton van, worked through doorways and up stairs at both ends. Note the size and access on the quote.
And a wardrobe or bed?
Yes, part-dismantled for the distance and reassembled on arrival. Send the sizes on the quote. A single big piece also suits our large item courier service.
Could you move a fridge or washer?
Yes. Drain and strap a washer first; stand a fridge freezer upright a few hours after the drive before power. Both are two-person lifts, so flag them. Also covered by our large item courier service.
