A direct London to Coventry man and van
Coventry sits about 95 miles up the M40 and M6, and London to Coventry runs on the same nationwide man with a van network at both ends. The whole load stays with a single driver and van, never dropped at a depot on the way. With drivers bound for the West Midlands most days, a move slotted onto a trip already booked lands cheaper and leaves fewer empty miles.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.
- A run into the West Midlands, about 95 miles via the M40 and M6
- Two to two and a half hours, motorway nearly all the way
- One driver and van the whole trip, nothing handed over
- Keener still on a van already bound up the M40

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Coventry man and van cost?
A London to Coventry 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 to 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 £60 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 £72 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 £190 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 2 to 2.5 hour run up the M40 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

What our customers say
I had three deliveries done with porta of very fragile items. It all went exceptionally well at amazing competitive prices! Could not recommend them more strongly
Although the collection didn’t go as planned for reasons out of their control, the customer service on every contact was first rate, with prompt polite replies & the company taking ownership and quickly and efficiently making alternative arrangements. Highly recommended
Very good service. Update on collection time and helping to load and u load the products very productively. Will definitely recommend. They answered any queries straight away and helped resolve. Thankyou very much.

London to Coventry man and van FAQs
How far is it, London to Coventry by road?
About 95 miles up the M40 then the M6, normally two to two and a half hours depending on the motorway and your exact addresses. One driver runs it the whole way into the West Midlands, with no depot stop between.
What will a London to Coventry man and van cost?
One fixed figure for the whole job, set before you book instead of a meter you watch climb. Drivers head up the M40 to the Midlands regularly, so your load can slot onto a trip already going, and that puts prices from £60. The rest comes down to how much there is and any lifting.
Fixed price or hourly up to Coventry?
Over 95 miles a fixed price generally wins. An hourly firm keeps the clock going from arrival through the drive to the last box off the van, so a slow M40 or M6 costs you. Porta agrees the number first and it does not shift.
Can I get a van from Coventry back to London?
Yes, we run the return too. Give us your Coventry pickup and London drop-off for a fixed price on the trip back down the M40.
What sort of loads go up to Coventry?
One heavy item through to a whole flat, the sofas, wardrobes, beds and appliances a courier will not handle. Moves to Coventry University or nearby Warwick, house moves and marketplace buys all make the trip.
Is help with lifting included?
Yes, the driver shares the loading and unloading at each end rather than leaving it to you. Call out the heavy pieces or a flat up several flights when you quote so the right muscle is on the van.
Could a Coventry move happen same-day?
Often, when a driver is already pointed up the M40. Short-notice runs to the West Midlands come down to who is free, so a quick quote shows the live dates.
Where in Coventry do you deliver?
Right across the city inside the ring road, from the centre to Earlsdon, Cheylesmore and Stoke and out to Tile Hill and Canley, with pickups anywhere in London first and drop-offs possible around Warwick or Banbury on the way.
Any clean-air charge on the Coventry run?
Just the London end. Your pickup may fall inside the ULEZ, with the central Congestion Charge. Coventry looked at a charging Clean Air Zone and chose other measures instead, so there is nothing to pay at the Coventry end, and any London charge sits inside your fixed price.
Sofa up to Coventry?
Yes, a regular load up the M40. A three-seater or corner suite wants a Luton van, and the driver eases it through doorways and up stairs at both ends. Sketch the shape and any tight access at quote stage so the right van comes.
Does a wardrobe need dismantling for the trip?
Most flat-pack and two-door wardrobes ride in a large van as they are; a bigger fitted or three-door one comes apart to keep the doors safe over 95 miles. Send the measurements when you quote so the vehicle fits.
White goods to Coventry?
Yes. Drain and strap a washing machine first; let a fridge freezer stand a few hours before powering up after the run. Both are two-person items, so mention them when you quote. Large appliances also suit our large item courier service.
