Julia Stafford2024-01-17Ask for Marios and Loco. Really nice guys. Both worked very hard and consistently. They were also very kind when our young children thought they were “helping” but probably getting in the way. House moves are horrible and stressful. Having genuinely nice people makes a big difference.
Nadine Harb2024-01-17The team is exceptional !! They have performed an amazing job, very efficient, helpful and polite. Thank you so much Marios, Delyan, Georgi, Gurami for your help. I highly recommend them !
RebeccaJasmin Hillier2024-01-08I am extremely impressed by the service we received. Quick and careful. The team picked up items from an unorganised storage, put them all nicely inside a van, carried them up a 3rd floor flat, without a lift. Hassle free and quick. Thank you so much to the team: MARIOS, ASEN & GEORGI. You guys made this move, completely stress-free!
jaqui ross2023-12-31Fantastic service. We used the full pack and move from LondontoGlasgow. Everything was bubble wrapped and packed with care. They even took all the pictures etc off the walls. Great communication from the staff. Someone visited to assess before the very reasonable quote. He was so lovely and patient with my elderly mum. The movers let us know when they would arrive so we could be there, and they unpacked and put everything in the correct rooms. All we had to do was move the clothes out the wardrobe box into the actual wardrobe and unpack the kitchen boxes. They even brought a few items that hadn't been quoted for. Great service, highly recommend 👌
Martina Allan2023-12-16I can't praise these guys enough! We had a four bedroomed house to move. An army of men came and packed on the Monday and by 10.30am on Tuesday, the whole house, garden, garage, and contents of two sheds was loaded into 4 vans and enroute to our new home by the south coast. By 4.30pm everything was unloaded and beds and furniture reassembled. The guys worked hard and were very respectful from start to finish. They were also competitive with their price and we got a discount as chose to return the boxes to be reused. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys, we would absolutely recommend them! Very happy customer. ☺️
Patrick Joseph2023-12-05It was my first experience using removal company and very worried with the cost, i had about 10 company response with high cost which i can not afford, Movivan called me with great authority and willing to take a challenge what i was wanted to listen from the company, he assured me of every possible difficulties to be taken care of, I told him about the load of 3 bedroom stuff and family of 5 belongings, he came up with all the assurance and quote me unbelievable less than half the cost of the others minimum quote, this was cheapest, half the cost of minimum from all other company. The guys who came for removal were so nice and willing to do more than what i asked, I have no personal interest with this company, and was my first time with them.I can praise them highly and can recommend them from top of my heart, you can not go wrong with them.just try them once and you will be giving them same review as mine.
Fiona Harris2023-11-23Excellent service from beginning to end. These gentlemen took on a job at very short notice, they were very professional and knew what they were doing. Thank you so much!
Giuse Pucino2023-11-16Used Movivan for our move from Herts to South Cambs - they were fantastic. Our entire life was in 2 storage containers, they sorted and loaded their vans with expert precision and when it came to unloading they were just as efficient. I would definitely recommend.
Ivanna C.2023-10-09I can’t say enough good things about this company. From the quote to completion. Miro was my contact person through the whole thing, he was kind, professional and most importantly worked with my needs. I had a tiny bit of a complicated move they handled it like stars, even getting everything done before the initial timeframes we discussed!! The guys who packed our things and physically moved everything we’re things of LEGEND. Not one thing was broken and I have more bar glasses then I’d like to admit. I honestly just can’t say enough about them. Everyone I interacted with was so pleasant and professional. Thank you Miro and Movivan for making this stressful time as stress free as possible!!!! I highly recommend you use this company for any removal needs!
Angelika Applin2023-09-26I was very impressed professional way Philip and his team executed my move from London to Norwich. They were on time, had in no time everything loaded no matter how difficult it was. Job well done!!

How Much Will Cost?
Movivan calculates the cost of each long-distance removal in the UK by considering several key factors. First, the distance of the move plays a significant role – longer distances will generally result in higher costs. The volume and weight of the items being moved are also crucial, as more or heavier items require more resources and labor. Additionally, the level of service required, such as packing, loading, and unloading, impacts the price. Finally, any special requirements, like overnight storage or handling delicate items, are also factored in. This comprehensive approach ensures that each quote is tailored to the specific needs and details of your move.
| Distance | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 200 miles | 1 van | £800-£900 |
| 200 miles | 2 vans | £1500-£1600 |
| 400 miles | 1 van | £1400-£1500 |
| 400 miles | 2 vans | £2400-£2600 |
| Overnight | per van | £80 |
” Mukhtar and his team at Movivan were hugely helpful from start to finish. Their fee was the most reasonable and they were professional and available throughout the process. A house move is stressful and they took care of all our requirements including the safe transfer of heavy and fragile items. We will use Movivan again in the future. ”

How To Plan Your Long-Distance Removals?
Planning a long-distance removal can be a big task, but with the right approach, it can be manageable and even stress-free. Here’s a guide to help you plan your move:
- Start Early: Begin planning your move at least 4-6 weeks in advance. This gives you enough time to organize everything without feeling rushed.
- Inventory Your Belongings: Make a detailed list of what you’ll be taking with you. This helps in getting an accurate quote from the removal company and also aids in tracking your items during the move.
- Compare Our Prices With Other Long-Distance Movers: You can check our price and compare it with others. Beware of the cheap and misleading quotes! We are 100% confident you won`t find a cheaper price if they offer the same services as ours.
- Get Quotes and Schedule the Move: Once you’ve selected a removal company, get a detailed quote and schedule your moving date. Early booking can often secure better rates and availability.
- Packing and Labeling: Start packing non-essential items first. Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to.
- Notify Important Parties: Inform your bank, utility providers, and postal service about your change of address. This includes updating your address for subscriptions and memberships.
- Prepare an Essentials Box: Pack a box with essentials you’ll need on the first day in your new home, like toiletries, snacks, chargers, and a change of clothes.
- Check Access at Both Locations: Ensure that there is suitable access for the removal van at both your current and new home. This includes checking for parking restrictions and informing your neighbors if necessary.
- Final Walk-Through: Before leaving your old home, do a final walk-through to make sure nothing is left behind.
Remember, effective planning and organization are key to a smooth long-distance move. Take it one step at a time, and don’t hesitate to lean on your removal company for advice and assistance.
How To Plan Long Distance Move With Pets or Children?
For a long-distance move with pets, prioritize their comfort. Visit the vet for a health check and travel advice, familiarize them with their carrier, and keep their routine as normal as possible on moving day. Ensure they have a quiet space away from the chaos and include familiar items like toys to comfort them during the journey.
When moving with children, communication is key. Talk to them about the move, focusing on positive aspects. Let them help pack a special box of their favorite things. During the move, keep essential items and entertainment handy, and try to set up their new room quickly to give them a sense of familiarity and stability in the new environment.
We Offer Overnight Storage For Your Cross Country Move
Our overnight storage service is an ideal solution for your cross-country move. It means that during the move, if you need to pause the journey or if your new home isn’t ready for immediate move-in, we can securely store your belongings overnight. This service provides flexibility, ensuring that your items are safe and protected while you’re in transit or waiting for access to your new location. It’s a convenient option, particularly for long-distance moves, where timing and coordination can be challenging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your long-distance movers load and deliver same day? This will depend on the size of the move and the distance to travel. In most cases, we prefer to load one day in advance and start traveling very early in the morning. We can load, transport, and deliver same day if the distance is less than 4 hours and it is no more than one van’s worth of stuff.
Do you move food items? No, our long-distance movers will not take and move food items, especially perishables. Transporting food over long distances can lead to spoilage and contamination. Our vehicles are not temperature-controlled. It’s advisable to consume, donate, or discard food before the move.
Is it advisable to move plants long-distance? Moving plants long-distance within the UK can be risky for their health. They are sensitive to changes in temperature, light, and movement, which can be stressful and potentially harmful during a long journey. Moreover, it’s important to consider the practicalities and regulations of transporting plants, especially when moving to areas with specific agricultural or ecological protections.
” We booked Movivan at short notice for our move from London to Sussex, on a recommendation from a friend who had used them for her move recently. They were so accommodating, both in fitting us in and last minute changes to itinerary. On the day, the team were astoundingly efficient and we were simply amazed at how quickly and smoothly they managed to move everything to our new home. Outstanding, friendly service at a very reasonable price. I’m so glad I booked you guys, thank you for taking the stress out of moving! ”
