Man with a Van Liverpool

Through Porta it is a single fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. Local outfits on Merseyside tend to run a meter, often £40 to £60 an hour with a two-hour minimum, so a short move soon adds up once loading and the city-centre one-way systems are counted. Porta puts the whole figure on the table first; it comes down to what you are moving, how far across the city it goes and whether you want a hand loading. Quote your postcodes for your number.

All of Liverpool and out across Merseyside, from the Waterfront, the Baltic Triangle and the Georgian Quarter to Allerton, Wavertree, Anfield, Bootle and Crosby. Drop your pickup and drop-off postcodes into the quote to see the drivers nearest you.

Often, when a suitable driver is free close by. Porta takes on same-day and short-notice man and van work right across Liverpool whenever a driver is around. Quote your postcode to see what is live now.

Almost anything, from one item to a small flat move, the heavy and awkward pieces included, the sort a parcel courier turns down. Beds, sofas, wardrobes, fridge-freezers, apartment and student moves, and second-hand buys off eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are all routine.

Yes. Your driver loads and unloads with you, which is the bit a self-drive hire leaves entirely to you. If a piece is heavy or there are stairs in one of the apartment blocks with no lift, flag it on the quote so the right help comes with the van.

Tell us about both ends when you quote. Liverpool has the pedestrianised core around Church Street and Liverpool ONE, dockside conversions with set loading windows, and tight Georgian terraces with permit parking, so a central pickup can need a loading spot planned. Note any permit bays, stairs or restrictions and your driver works out the approach.

No call-out fee and no two-hour minimum. The job is one fixed price, locked in before you book, so a quick Liverpool move is not padded out to fill an hourly slot and nothing extra turns up on the day.

Yes. Liverpool is a big student city, with the University of Liverpool, LJMU and Hope drawing thousands into Smithdown Road, Kensington and the Georgian Quarter, 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.

No. Liverpool does not run a charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to drive a van through the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the move, with nothing extra to settle on the day. Pop your exact pickup and drop-off postcodes in and the full figure comes straight back.
