Man with a Van London to Nottingham

It is about 130 miles and, as one of the shorter M1 corridors, usually only a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, down to traffic and your exact addresses. Your driver loads in London, heads up into the East Midlands and unloads on the same run.

It is a fixed, upfront price for the whole job, set before you book, with no meter. As a shorter corridor often covered by a driver already heading up to Nottingham, it frequently lands well under a removals firm, with fixed prices from £66. The figure tracks the load and any loading help.

Yes, even over a half-day job. Pay by the hour and the clock still runs through loading, the drive up and unloading; a Porta price is agreed before you book and holds firm if the M1 drags, so the cost is settled from the off.

Yes, we run it both ways. See man with a van Nottingham to London for the return leg, with collections and drop-offs anywhere along the M1.

Plenty. Nottingham is a big student city, with the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent drawing thousands into Lenton, Dunkirk and the centre, so end-of-term and start-of-year runs down from London are common. Tell us the halls or address and what is going for a fixed price.

Yes. Your driver loads and unloads with you, the part a self-drive van leaves entirely on you. If a piece is heavy or there are stairs without a lift, note it on the quote so the right help comes along.

Often, where a driver has the trip up free. Same-day and next-day runs up the M1 can be arranged subject to availability, so quote your postcodes to see what is live.

We collect right across London, from the central zones out to the M25, and deliver anywhere in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, from the Lace Market and West Bridgford to Beeston, Sherwood and Arnold, with stops possible in M1 towns en route.

Only the London end can carry a clean-air charge here: your pickup may sit inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and the central zone also has the Congestion Charge. Nottingham runs no charging Clean Air Zone (it hit its targets with a Workplace Parking Levy and trams), so nothing is added at the Nottingham end. Any London charge that genuinely applies is built into your fixed price.

Tell us about the drop-off when you quote. Nottingham has the pedestrianised core around the Old Market Square and Lace Market, tram routes through the centre and permit parking in spots like Lenton and The Park, so a central delivery can need a loading place planned. Flag any permit bays, stairs or tight access and your driver sorts the approach.

It depends on the load. A few boxes or a single item may ride as a part-load on a van already heading up, while a studio or one-bed usually needs a Luton or large van to itself. Tell us roughly what is going when you quote and the right vehicle is matched.
