Compare The Man And Van helps students and parents arrange smaller moves between university accommodation, shared houses, flats, storage and home. It is a practical option when there is more than a car can handle, but not enough for a larger removals service.
Enter the collection and delivery addresses, choose the van size and loading help that suits the job, then review quotes from verified local drivers before booking online.
Most student jobs are smaller than full home moves, but timing, access and carrying help can still make a difference. You may be moving between home and halls, a shared house, a flat or storage, with different amounts to carry each time.
With Compare The Man And Van, you can review options from verified local drivers, choose a van size that fits the load and add help if you need support with carrying.
Student moves often sit between a full home move and a simple item collection. You might only have bags and boxes, or you might also have bedding, kitchen items, a desk chair, small furniture and other belongings to move. This page is for common student moving situations: heading to university, moving out at the end of term, changing accommodation or taking items to storage.
Get quotes and book a student move in three simple steps.
Add the collection and delivery addresses, your moving date and the type of job you need help with.
See available driver options based on the details you provide, including van size and loading help.
Choose the quote that suits the move, then complete your booking online.

Driver was 1h30m late to arrive, but had brought an extra man to help (at no extra cost) so the move was still completed within the time planned and everything was loaded and unloaded quickly, easily, and with no damage or loss. Recommended.
