A direct London to Bournemouth man and van
Bournemouth is about 110 miles down the M3 and A31 to the coast, and London to Bournemouth runs it on the same nationwide man with a van network at both ends. The item travels with one driver and van the whole way to the seafront, no depot between. With drivers heading down to the coast often, a piece slotted onto a trip already going lands cheaper and cuts the empty miles.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.
- Down the M3 and A31 to the coast, about 110 miles
- Roughly 2.5 hours from London to the seafront
- One driver and van door to door, nothing handed over
- Cheaper on a van already heading down to the coast

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Bournemouth man and van cost?
A London to Bournemouth man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 2.5 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 £63 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 £78 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 £205 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 110-mile job: loading, the 2.5 hour run down to the coast and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

What our customers say
Booking was easy and I was able to see how much every item would cost to be moved. Delivery agent was very cooperative and kind. Excellent services.
We’ve had a few deliveries with Porta. Working with a huge variety of volumes & weights - this is the best, most helpful and easiest to work with company I have found on the market so far.
Our delivery driver, Paul Wright, was the best - highly recommend! Super accommodating with collection and drop-off times, which were extremely tight. Thank you so much Paul, for all your help, flexibility and kindness!!

London to Bournemouth man and van FAQs
How long to the coast, London to Bournemouth?
About 110 miles down the M3 and A31, usually around two and a half hours depending on traffic out of London. One driver takes the item straight to the seafront, with no depot stop on the way.
What does a London to Bournemouth man and van cost?
A single fixed figure agreed before booking, not an hourly clock. Drivers run down to the coast often, so your load can share a trip already going, and prices start at £63. What is on the van and any lifting settle the rest.
Fixed price or by the hour to the coast?
For a single item or a small load a fixed price generally wins, since an hourly minimum can outweigh a quick job. Porta names one figure up front, and it holds whatever the M3 is doing.
Can you bring a load back from Bournemouth to London?
Yes, the run goes both ways. Tell us your Bournemouth pickup and London drop-off for a fixed price on the trip back up the M3.
What travels down to Bournemouth?
A lot of it is single furniture and downsizing pieces to the coast, a suite, a bed, a wardrobe or a fridge, plus Marketplace and eBay buys too big for the car. Seaside flat and student moves come too, with the driver sharing the lift.
Is the lifting included?
Yes, the driver loads and unloads with you at both ends. Flag anything very heavy or a flat with no lift when you quote so the right help makes the trip down.
Can it be same-day to Bournemouth?
Often, when a driver is already heading down to the coast. Short-notice runs come down to who is free, so a quick quote shows the live dates.
Where do you deliver in the Bournemouth area?
Across the town and the wider BCP area, from the centre and seafront to Boscombe, Winton and out to Westbourne and Poole, with pickups across London first and drop-offs possible around Ringwood or Winchester on the way.
Is there a clean-air charge to Bournemouth?
Only the London end. Your pickup may sit in the ULEZ, with the central Congestion Charge. Bournemouth runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so nothing applies at the coast, and any London charge is inside your fixed price.
Can you take a corner sofa to the coast?
Yes, suites head down to Bournemouth regularly. A big corner one takes a Luton van and two people, angled through doorways and up any seafront-flat stairs at each end. Describe the layout and access when you quote so the right van comes.
A wardrobe or bed down to Bournemouth?
Yes. Both go safest with the doors or frame part-dismantled, put back together at the coast by the driver. Send the sizes when you quote. A single bulky piece is also a job for our large item courier service.
Can you move an appliance to the coast?
Yes. Drain and secure a washer before we load; a fridge freezer wants a few hours upright before it goes on down at the coast. Both need two people, so note them at quote stage. Our large item courier service covers these too.
