A man with a van right across Swansea
From the bay and the Maritime Quarter out through Uplands, Sketty, Morriston and the Mumbles, Porta's vetted drivers work right across Swansea and into the Gower, so one is usually minutes away. It is the nationwide man with a van service on home ground, run by drivers who know the seafront, the hills above the bay and the SA postcodes. When a driver is already working the bay, sharing the trip brings the cost and the empty miles down.
Over 55 vetted Porta drivers cover Swansea and the wider West Glamorgan.
- Across Swansea, the Gower and out into south-west Wales
- The same driver and van right through, no handovers
- The lifting and the hills handled, part of the price
- Drivers who know the bay, the Mumbles and the SA postcodes

What our customers say
We’ve had a few deliveries with Porta. Working with a huge variety of volumes & weights - this is the best, most helpful and easiest to work with company I have found on the market so far.
Peter Turner the courier hired through the Porta app was brilliant he took my mum’s motorised wheel chair loading it carefully strapping it down well. Came when he said he would let us know he was on his way. Great service all round
Fantastic service. Delivered a glazed painting v efficiently, safely and fair value when DPD and post office wouldn’t. Definitely use again thank you

Swansea man and van FAQs
How much should a man and van in Swansea cost?
With Porta a Swansea man and van is a single price for the whole job, fixed before you book rather than run on a meter. Hourly outfits around the bay tend to be £40 to £60 with a two-hour minimum, and the seafront and the hills eat into that. Porta puts the full figure to you first, set by the load, the distance and any help you want. Quote your postcodes to see yours.
What areas around Swansea do you serve?
The whole of Swansea and out over the Gower, the Maritime Quarter and the bay through Uplands, Sketty, Morriston and the Mumbles to Gorseinon and Killay. Enter both postcodes at the quote for the nearest drivers.
Do you take short-notice jobs in Swansea?
Usually possible. If a suitable driver is close to your Swansea pickup, same-day or short-notice work is on. Availability shifts through the day, so the quote screen is the place to check what is open right now.
What kind of loads do you handle in Swansea?
From a lone armchair to a small Swansea flat. Beds, sofas, dining sets, appliances, garden bits and second-hand buys are all routine; the heavier and more awkward it is, the more a man and van beats a standard courier.
Do I have to do the carrying myself?
Always. Lifting, carrying and loading come as standard, unlike hiring a van where it is all on you. Tell us about heavy items or awkward stairs when you quote and the right level of help is sent.
Any parking issues to know about in Swansea?
Tell us about access at both ends when you quote. Swansea has the rebuilt city centre and Maritime Quarter, the seafront at the bay, and steep terraced streets up through Uplands and Mount Pleasant, so a central or hillside pickup can need a loading spot worked out. Note any permit bays, stairs or restrictions and your driver plans the approach.
Are there any booking or call-out fees?
No to both. Porta does not run a call-out fee or a two-hour minimum; the price is set for the job, not the clock. A short local hop is priced as a short local hop.
Do you take on student moves in Swansea?
Yes. Swansea University's Singleton and Bay campuses draw thousands of students into Uplands, Brynmill and the seafront, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Does Swansea have a Clean Air Zone charge?
No. Wales runs no charging Clean Air Zones, so Swansea has none and there is no daily charge to drive a van through the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the move, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
