How much does a student move cost?
It depends on how much you're moving and which service you pick. For a room of boxes and a few bits where you're happy to help load, our man and van starts at £43/hr (van + driver). For a full move with no lifting, a van and two movers is £86/hr — both include VAT, with a 2-hour minimum.
Can you move just a few boxes and suitcases?
Yes — lots of student moves are just boxes, suitcases and a few small items, and our man and van service is built for exactly that. You don't need a full removals van; tell us roughly what you've got and we'll suggest the right size and price.
What if there's no lift, or my room is up several floors?
No problem — walk-ups, narrow staircases and upper-floor halls are routine for us across London. Tell us the floor, whether there's a lift and any tricky access when you book, so we send the right crew and allow enough time.
What if there's nowhere to park outside my halls or flat?
London parking can be tight, so give us both addresses when you book and we'll plan the closest legal loading spot. Where a bay or permit is needed we'll tell you what's required — the smoother the access, the quicker your move.
Can my parents arrange or pay for the move?
Yes — a parent or guardian can book, pay for and manage the move for you; we just need the collection and delivery details and a contact for moving day. It's a common setup, especially for first-year and international students.
Can you help international students moving to or from London?
Yes — we help international students move into London at the start of term and out again for summer, placements or study abroad, including putting belongings into storage while you're away.
Do you move students between different UK cities?
Yes, we handle local, long-distance and nationwide student removals across the UK.
Do you offer student storage?
Yes, secure storage is available for holidays, placements and study abroad, with flexible short- or long-term options.
When should I book student removals?
It’s best to book 2–3 weeks in advance, especially during peak periods like June, September and end-of-term when demand is highest.
Do student removals include insurance?
Yes, every student move is covered by Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance of up to £5 million, included as standard. If anything's damaged in transit, contact our team with your booking details and photos and we'll review it.
Do student movers collect from halls and shared houses?
Yes, collection is available from student halls, shared accommodation, flats and private rentals across the UK.
Can I travel in the moving van?
No, passengers are not allowed to travel in the van during your student move for safety and insurance reasons. Please arrange your own transport to your new accommodation on moving day.
