Man with a Van London to Bristol

It is about 120 miles and usually a 2 to 3 hour drive, depending on the M4 and your exact pickup and drop-off points. Your driver collects, heads straight west and delivers on the same trip.

You get a fixed, upfront price for the whole route before you book, with no hourly meter. Because Porta often pairs you with a driver already heading down the M4, a London to Bristol move can come in cheaper than a full removal, with fixed prices from £65. What you pay depends on what you're moving and whether you need help loading.

Over this distance, usually. By the hour the meter runs through loading, the two-to-three-hour drive and unloading, so the total adds up. A Porta price is fixed before you book and does not change if the M4 is slow, so you know the cost from the start.

Yes. We run it both ways: see man with a van Bristol to London for the trip back, with pickups and drop-offs anywhere along the corridor.

Anything from a single sofa or appliance to a full flat move, including large and awkward pieces. Student moves, house-share moves and second-hand pickups from eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are all welcome.

Yes, the driver loads and unloads with you, unlike a self-drive hire where it is all down to you. If something is very heavy or awkward, or there are stairs with no lift, flag it when you quote so the right level of help is matched.

Often, where a suitable driver is free for the run. Same-day and next-day trips down the M4 can be arranged subject to availability. Get a quote to see live options.

We collect across the whole of London, from the central zones out to the M25, and deliver anywhere in Bristol and the West of England, from the Harbourside and Clifton to Bedminster and Filton, with pickups and drop-offs in towns along the M4.

Both ends of this route can carry a clean-air charge: your London pickup may sit inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone (and the Congestion Charge in the central zone), and Bristol runs a charging Clean Air Zone across its centre. Most vans on the platform meet both standards, but where a charge genuinely applies it is built into your fixed, upfront price. Enter your postcodes when you quote and any charge is priced in.

Yes, dining sets are a common load on this route. A table often travels best with the legs off (usually a few bolts), and chairs stack or nest to save space. Tell us how many pieces and the table size when you quote so the right van and any help are matched. Several pieces at once also suit our furniture courier service.

Most two-door and flat-pack wardrobes go in a Luton or large van as they are, and many can be partly dismantled to protect the doors and mirrors on a longer run. For a big fitted or three-door wardrobe, add the width, height and depth when you quote so the right vehicle is sent.

Yes. Drain and secure a washing machine before pickup, and stand a fridge freezer upright for a few hours after the move before switching it on. Let us know it is a large appliance when you quote, as these are heavy and usually need two people. Appliances are also covered by our large item courier service.
