What our customers say
Brilliant service and so cost effective. Would have cost me more to rent a car plus time to drive there and back. New coffee table delivered to my door in under an hour. Staff were friendly and able to amend my booking
Super easy website, clear pricing and everything went to plan. Cheaper and easier than any other. Kept informed via WhatsApp on each stage of collection and delivery. Would highly recommend!
Very easy service to use, sorted out same day collection which saved us loads of time and drama, Yvonne our driver/courier was super helpful, would definitely use again.

Peterborough man and van FAQs
What is the price of a man and van in Peterborough?
Porta gives you one fixed price for the job, agreed before you book, not an hourly meter. Hourly outfits around Peterborough usually sit around £40 to £60 an hour on a two-hour minimum, so even a small job adds up once loading and the run between the townships are in. Porta shows the full figure first, set by the load, the distance and whether you want a hand. Quote your postcodes to see it.
How much of Peterborough do you operate across?
All of Peterborough and out across Cambridgeshire, the cathedral centre through Millfield, Fletton, Bretton, Orton and Werrington to Hampton and Stanground. Enter both postcodes at the quote for the nearest drivers.
Can Porta do a same-day move in Peterborough?
Often, yes. When a vetted driver is free near your Peterborough pickup, Porta can take the job on the same day or at short notice. It hinges on who is around, so run a quote and the live options show up there and then.
What sort of things can you move in Peterborough?
Most things short of a full house-clearance. In Peterborough that means single items, part-loads and small flat moves, with the bulky, two-person pieces a parcel firm refuses very much on the list: sofas, beds, wardrobes, washing machines and fridge-freezers.
Will the driver help me load up?
Yes. Loading and carrying is part of the service, not an add-on, so you are not left wrestling a wardrobe on your own the way a self-drive hire leaves you. Heavy item or stairs with no lift? Say so when you quote and the right help comes with the van.
How does parking and access work in Peterborough?
Tell us about both ends when you quote. Peterborough has the pedestrianised Cathedral Square and Queensgate, the fast parkways linking the townships, and estates with mixed parking, so a central pickup can need a loading spot planned. Note any permit bays, stairs or restrictions and your driver works out the approach.
Is there a call-out fee or a minimum charge?
No. There is no call-out fee and no two-hour minimum to pay through. The job is one fixed price agreed before you book, so a quick, short move costs what it costs rather than being rounded up to fill an hourly slot.
Do you handle student moves in Peterborough?
Yes. ARU Peterborough, the city's university campus, draws students into the centre and nearby areas, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, the drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Does Peterborough have a Clean Air Zone charge?
No. Peterborough runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to drive a van through the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the job, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
