A man with a van right across Surrey
Surrey is unusual: it has no city at all. Guildford, the county town, is one of several sizeable towns rather than one dominant hub, so a man and van here is about reaching a whole spread of places, from Woking and Staines in the north down to Farnham and Dorking in the south, ringed by the M25 and threaded by the A3 and M23.
Wherever you are in the county there’s usually a driver nearby: it’s the same man with a van service Porta runs nationwide, matched to your corner of Surrey. And because the county sees so many moves to and from London, a driver is often already heading your way, so your move can join a trip that’s already planned and fewer miles go to waste.
Over 250 vetted drivers serve the Surrey area.
- Coverage right across Surrey, from the M25 commuter towns to the Hampshire and Sussex borders
- The same vetted driver and van for the whole job, no depots or handovers
- Loading and unloading help included as standard
- Often matched to a driver already working nearby in the county, which keeps the price down

A man with a van in Surrey through Porta is priced per job, not by the hour, so you get one fixed, upfront price before you book.

Surrey man and van FAQs
How much does a man with a van cost in Surrey?
A man with a van in Surrey is priced per job through Porta, with one fixed, upfront price agreed before you book rather than an hourly meter. Distances vary a lot across the county, from a short hop between neighbouring towns like Woking and Guildford to a longer run up into London, and an hourly service charges for every one of those miles plus loading and traffic. Most local firms quote around £40 to £60 an hour with a minimum of about two hours, so even a small job adds up. With Porta you see the whole price first, based on what you’re moving, the distance and whether you need loading help. Get a quote for your exact price.
Which Surrey towns do you cover?
The whole county. Porta covers every Surrey postcode, including Woking, Epsom, Reigate and Redhill, Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames, Farnham, Leatherhead, Dorking, Esher, Walton-on-Thames, Caterham, Oxted and Godalming. Guildford has its own man with a van Guildford page. Enter your pickup and drop-off postcodes when you quote to see drivers in your part of the county.
Can I book a same-day man and van in Surrey?
Often, yes, where a suitable driver is working nearby. Porta can support same-day and short-notice man and van jobs right across Surrey, subject to availability. Because the county is busy with drivers, short-notice moves within the commuter belt are usually easier to match than in remote areas. Get a quote to see live options for your postcode.
Do you cover moves from Surrey into London?
Yes. Surrey borders Greater London, and moves in and out of the capital are one of the most common jobs here. See man with a van London for the London end. Because a driver is often already heading that way, a move between Surrey and London can be more affordable than you’d expect. Enter both postcodes when you quote.
Is there a ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charge for a man with a van in Surrey?
No. Surrey has no Clean Air Zone of its own and lies outside the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which stops at the Greater London boundary, so there is no clean-air charge for a move within the county. If your move crosses into Greater London it may enter the ULEZ, and any charge that applies is included in your fixed, upfront price, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
Does the driver help with loading?
Yes, and it is included, not an extra. Your driver does the carrying and lifting at both ends, which is what separates a man and van from hiring an empty van and doing it yourself. Plenty of Surrey homes are period conversions and upstairs flats with a tricky staircase, so if you have something heavy going up or down, ask for a two-person job when you quote and the right hands turn up.
Do you cover student moves in Surrey?
Yes. Surrey has a big student population around the University of Surrey in Guildford and Royal Holloway in Egham, and a man and van is ideal for moving between halls, shared houses and flats at the start and end of term. Tell us your pickup, drop-off and what you’re moving for a fixed price.
What size van will I get?
Whatever the job needs. A single armchair might take a small van, while clearing a two-bed flat in Woking or Epsom is a Luton-van job. When you quote, list what is moving and roughly how much, and a driver with the right-sized van for that load is matched, so you are not paying for empty space.
