A man with a van right across Northamptonshire
Northamptonshire sits at the crossroads of England, from the shoe town of Northampton at its heart out to Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough in the north, Daventry and Towcester in the west, and Silverstone and Brackley toward the Oxfordshire border, with the M1, A14 and A45 meeting here.
Being the place where the motorways cross, a Porta driver is very often already moving through, whether past Corby or down toward Silverstone. This is Porta's nationwide man with a van, handled by local drivers, and slotting your move onto a journey already happening is what keeps the cost down.
Over 150 vetted drivers serve the Northamptonshire area.
- A driver network covering all of Northamptonshire, the logistics heart of the country, from Corby to Brackley
- One driver, one van, kept on your job the whole way, so nothing is unloaded and reloaded at a depot
- Getting the heavy items down the stairs and into the van is the driver’s work, priced in from the start
- With the M1, A14 and A45 all meeting here, a driver passing through can pick your move up for less

Northampton to Corby or all the way to London, Porta quotes the job as one price rather than by the hour, fixed and visible before you book. On a county where most trips are a motorway hop, a set figure makes more sense than a meter running with the miles. The two compared:
Typical local man and van
By the hour
- Often around £40 to £60 an hour
- Usually a minimum of about two hours
- The meter runs through loading, traffic and unloading
- The final cost isn’t clear until the job is done
With Porta
One fixed price
- One upfront price for the whole job
- Agreed before you book, no hourly meter
- No two-hour minimum if your job is quick
- What you see is what you pay
* Local hourly rates are a guide to what other man and van services typically charge, not a Porta price. With Porta you get one fixed price for the whole job, confirmed before you book.

Northamptonshire man and van FAQs
How much does a man with a van cost in Northamptonshire?
Every move is quoted as one job, not by the hour. Porta settles the whole figure before booking, so a longer trip, Corby down to Brackley or on into London, holds at the agreed number rather than a climbing meter. Local hourly firms usually open around £40 to £60 an hour on a two-hour minimum, the clock ticking through loading, M1 traffic and unloading. Porta prices the items, the distance and any lifting help instead, all shown first. Quote to see yours.
Which Northamptonshire towns do you cover?
Every postcode in the county. That takes in Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry, Towcester, Brackley, Desborough, Oundle and Brixworth. Northampton, the county town, keeps its own man with a van Northampton page. Drop your postcodes into a quote to see who is near you.
Can I book a same-day man and van in Northamptonshire?
Frequently, given how many drivers pass through. Same-day and short-notice moves across Northamptonshire depend on who is free nearby at the time, and with the motorways busy in every direction that is often someone, so quote to see what is live for your postcode.
Do you cover moves from Northamptonshire to London?
All the time. The M1 runs straight through the county to London, so a large share of Northamptonshire moves go that way, and a driver already booked for the trip can carry yours for less. Enter both postcodes for a price; London has its own man with a van London page.
Is there a Clean Air Zone or charge for a man with a van in Northamptonshire?
Nothing of the sort here. Northamptonshire runs no Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge for a van through Northampton, Kettering or Corby, and the quote stays one fixed price, agreed in advance with nothing extra on the day.
Does the driver help with loading?
Yes, lifting is included. Your driver handles the loading and unloading, unlike a self-drive rental where it’s all down to you. Older Northamptonshire properties can mean narrow stairs and tight doorways, so mention any heavy items when you quote and the right help is matched to the job.
Do you cover student moves in Northamptonshire?
Yes. The University of Northampton is based in the town, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats at either end of term. Send the pickup, the drop-off and the load for a fixed price.
What size van will I get?
Whatever the load needs. A single wardrobe might travel in a small van, while clearing a two-bed flat in Northamptonshire is more of a Luton-van job. List what’s moving when you quote and a driver with the right van is matched, so you’re not paying for empty space.
