A man with a van right across Wiltshire
Wiltshire is chalk downland and ancient country, from the cathedral city of Salisbury and the Plain in the south, up through Devizes and the Kennet & Avon canal towns to Chippenham and Malmesbury on the Cotswold edge, with the M4 and A303 crossing it.
It is a rural county of small towns and long gaps between them, plus a lot of Ministry of Defence land on the Plain, so a vetted independent driver who knows the back roads is worth having. Porta's nationwide man with a van covers it all, and a driver already passing can take your move for less.
Over 150 vetted drivers serve the Wiltshire area.
- Cover across the whole of Wiltshire, from Salisbury and the Plain to the Cotswold-edge towns
- A driver who knows the back roads around the Plain, not a stranger stuck behind a convoy
- The heavy lifting at both doors comes with the quote, never billed on afterwards
- Ride along with a driver already crossing the county and a Wiltshire move costs less

- Forces moves in and out of the Salisbury Plain garrisons at posting time
- The big, heavy pieces a parcel courier will not carry down a village lane

Popular across the county: large item courier, furniture moves and eBay collections.
Get a QuoteHow much does a man with a van cost in Wiltshire?
Booked through the Porta platform, a Wiltshire man and van is one priced job rather than an hourly rate, fixed before you commit. Across a rural county with long gaps between towns, a set figure makes far more sense than a running meter, and here are the two side by side:
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.

What our customers say
First time using Porta and very pleased. I called with a query and managed to speak to someone quickly. Continued to make my booking and the process was easy and smooth. Communication was good and my delivery was collected and delivered as expected. Would use again.
Very good service, I would recommend you to anyone. One small glitch was that the seller should have sent a code with the driver to say it had been delivered so the seller could collect his money
After initially not being able to collect due to driver shortage, all was resolved amicably and collection and delivery were spot on, all good.

Wiltshire man and van FAQs
How much does a man with a van cost in Wiltshire?
The move is quoted as one job, not by the hour, which matters across a rural county where towns sit a good way apart. Porta fixes the figure before booking, so a run from Salisbury up to Swindon holds at the agreed number rather than a climbing meter. Local hourly firms tend to open around £40 to £60 an hour on a two-hour minimum, counting loading, the drive and unloading. A Porta quote weighs the items, the distance and any lifting, shown first. Quote to see yours.
Which Wiltshire towns do you cover?
Every postcode in the county. That takes in Salisbury, Chippenham, Trowbridge, Devizes, Warminster, Melksham, Calne, Marlborough, Westbury and Corsham. Swindon keeps its own man with a van Swindon page. Drop your postcodes into a quote to see who is near you.
Can I book a same-day man and van in Wiltshire?
Often, where a driver is free close by. Same-day and short-notice moves across Wiltshire come down to who is around, and with towns spread out it is worth quoting early to see who can reach your postcode today.
Do you cover moves from Wiltshire to Bath or Bristol?
Regularly. West Wiltshire sits right next to Bath and Bristol, so plenty of moves head that way along the A4 or M4, and a driver already going can take yours for less. See man with a van Bath or man with a van Bristol for the far end, and add both postcodes for a price.
Is there a Clean Air Zone or charge for a man with a van in Wiltshire?
Wiltshire has no Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge for a van through Salisbury, Chippenham or Trowbridge, and nothing of that kind reaches your bill. Porta quotes one fixed price for the move, agreed up front with nothing to add later.
Does the driver help with loading?
It does, at both ends. Carrying and lifting come with the booking, not billed on top, which is what sets a man and van apart from hiring a van yourself. If something’s heavy or access is tight anywhere in Wiltshire, note it on the quote so a two-person option can be arranged.
Do you cover forces moves in Wiltshire?
Yes. Wiltshire has big Army garrisons on and around Salisbury Plain, at Tidworth, Bulford, Larkhill and Warminster, and a man and van suits moving between quarters, storage and a new posting. Tell us the pickup, the drop-off and what is moving for a fixed price.
What size van will I get?
Whatever suits the move. Small jobs go in a compact van, larger Wiltshire moves in a Luton with a tail lift for the heavy pieces. List what’s going when you book so the right van, and enough hands, are matched to it.
