Man with a Van Nottingham

Through Porta, a man with a van in Nottingham is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. Local firms here tend to charge by the hour, often £40 to £55 with a two-hour minimum, so a quick job still mounts up once loading and traffic are counted. Porta shows the whole price first, and it comes down to what you're moving, how far across the city it goes, and whether you want help loading. Get a quote for your figure.

The whole of Nottingham and out into Nottinghamshire, from the city centre and the Lace Market to West Bridgford, Beeston, Sherwood, Mapperley, Bulwell, Arnold and Clifton. Add your pickup and drop-off postcodes when you quote to see the drivers nearest you.

Often, when a suitable driver is free close by. Porta can take on same-day and short-notice man and van work across Nottingham, subject to availability. Quote your postcode to see what's live right now.

Most things, from one item to a small house move, including the bulky and awkward pieces a lot of couriers turn down. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, fridge-freezers, washing machines, flat and student moves, and second-hand pickups from eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are all fine.

Yes. As well as moves around the city, Porta runs long-distance and one-way trips out of Nottingham, and because a driver is often already heading that way they can come in cheaper than a standard removal. See the routes from Nottingham listed further down the page.

Yes, loading and unloading with the driver is part of a man and van, which is what a self-drive hire leaves you to do alone. If anything is especially heavy or awkward, or there are stairs and no lift, flag it on your quote so the right help comes with the van.

Let us know about access at both ends when you quote. Nottingham has the NET tram lines through the centre, a largely pedestrianised core and some narrow terraced streets, so a city-centre or student-area pickup can need a thought-out loading spot. Note any tram-side restrictions, stairs or tight access and your driver will plan around them.

No call-out fee and no two-hour minimum. The job is one fixed price, agreed before you book, so a small Nottingham move isn't rounded up to fill an hourly slot and nothing extra appears on the day.

Yes. Nottingham has two big universities, the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent, with students packed around Lenton, Dunkirk, Beeston and the centre, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, drop-off and what's going for a fixed price.

No. Nottingham does not charge vehicles to drive in. Instead of a charging Clean Air Zone, the city met its air quality targets through its Workplace Parking Levy, a charge on larger employers' parking rather than on your move, alongside electric buses and the tram network (the government's Clean Air Zones list shows where charges do apply). So there is no clean-air or congestion charge to add to a Nottingham move. If your trip runs on to a city that does charge, that fee is included in the fixed quote.
