A direct London to Truro man and van
Truro sits about 250 miles down in Cornwall, reached via the M5 and the long A30, and London to Truro runs it on the same nationwide man with a van network. The load travels with one driver and van the length of the trip, no depot in between. When a van is already bound for Cornwall, joining that trip keeps a run this far affordable.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.

- A five to five and a half hour drive into Cornwall, a full day
- One driver and van the whole way, nothing reloaded

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Truro man and van cost?
A London to Truro man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 5 to 5.5 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 | £384 one person, about 6 hrs incl. the drive | From £88 fixed |
| A large or awkward item A sofa, fridge-freezer, wardrobe or chest of drawers | £468 two people, about 6 hrs incl. the drive | From £128 fixed |
| A part-load or small move A student room, a studio flat or a part-load of furniture | £624 two people, about 8 hrs incl. the drive | From £325 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 250-mile job: loading, the 5 to 5.5 hour haul down the A30 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

London to Truro man and van FAQs
How far down is Truro from London?
Truro sits roughly 250 miles down in Cornwall, reached on the M5 and the long A30, and the drive is about five to five and a half hours. It goes on a set day, one driver with the load the entire way west.
What will a London to Truro move cost?
A single figure, fixed before booking rather than metered on the day. When a van is already Cornwall-bound your load joins that trip, which is how 250 miles stays affordable, from £88. The contents and any lifting decide the balance.
This far, does fixed beat hourly?
By a fair margin. Hourly, a 250-mile job runs to the best part of a working day of loading, driving and unloading. Porta names the whole-run price up front, so a slow crawl on the A30 makes no difference to it.
Can you run a load back from Truro?
Yes, the return works the same way. Send the Truro pickup and London drop for a fixed price, with collections and drop-offs possible along the route.
What tends to travel down to Cornwall?
A single heavy item through to a full flat, the settees, beds, wardrobes and appliances couriers will not run to the far South West. People relocating to Cornwall, household moves and secondhand buys worth a van all make the journey.
Is loading help part of it?
Yes, shared with you at each end, which counts on a trip this long. Note anything heavy or a flat with no lift at quote stage so the right help travels down.
Any real chance of same day?
Only where a van is already set for Cornwall, so this is one to plan ahead. A quick quote shows what can honestly be matched to your date.
What is covered at either end?
Pickups anywhere in London to the M25; drop-offs across Truro and mid-Cornwall, the centre and cathedral through Highertown and Kenwyn, out towards Falmouth and Newquay. Exeter can be worked in coming down.
Will there be a clean-air charge?
Only possibly at the London end, where the pickup may fall in the ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. Truro and Cornwall have no Clean Air Zone at all, so the far end is clear, and any London charge is already inside your fixed price.
A wardrobe and bed down to Cornwall?
Yes. Over 250 miles they ride best dismantled, with the driver putting them back together on arrival. Send sizes so the van suits the load. Single large pieces also suit our large item courier service.
Does a settee make the A30 run?
Yes, sofas go down regularly. A three-seater or corner suite takes a Luton van and two people, eased through doorways and up stairs at both ends. Describe it and any tight access when you quote.
Sending a fridge or washer that far?
Yes. Drain and secure a washing machine first, and stand a fridge freezer upright a few hours after the long run before power. Two-person items, so flag them. Also suits our large item courier service.
