Removals in Coventry: what the drivers take on
Houses and flats
A two or three-bed terrace in Earlsdon or a semi in Styvechale usually goes in one Luton. Ateeq and Ismael both run one and can bring a second or third person. A one-bed flat or a couple of rooms tends to fit a Large van.
One piece, or a few
A sofa from a shop on the Foleshill Road, a bed to your sister's in Bedworth, a washing machine up two flights. A Medium van and an hour usually covers it. Say how heavy it is and whether there are stairs, so the driver brings help if it needs two.
Students
Halls in the city centre, shared houses near Far Gosford Street and in Canley, and Warwick students heading to or from Leamington. The weeks around the start and end of term fill up first; the student dates page has both universities' calendars.
Storage and business moves
Boxes into a storage unit while a sale goes through, a small office moving across the city, shop stock and fittings. Book a quiet hour and tell the driver about lifts and loading bays.
What fits in each van
The booking form offers three sizes. The drawings are to one scale, using the load space of the drivers' own vans, with the side cut away to show a typical load.
If it's close, go a size up: two trips across town cost more than one in a bigger van. The van guide goes through Coventry's terraces, semis and flats one by one.
How booking a driver works
- Put in where you're moving from and to, and how long the loading and unloading should take.
- The drivers who cover your route come up with a price for each van size. Choose one and send the request.
- A deposit is held on your card. Nothing leaves your account until your driver accepts and gets in touch about the time.
- If he can't, the job goes to another local driver. If no one can take it on, the hold drops off your card.
- On the day he loads, drives and unloads. You pay him the rest at the end, in cash or by bank transfer.
How man and van prices work in Coventry
There is no price list here, because each driver charges his own way. Your price is made up of:
- the van size you pick;
- the loading and unloading time you choose, which is most of the cost on a move inside the city;
- a second person, if the driver offers one and you want him;
- the drive between the addresses, which is already counted in.
If the job runs past the time you booked, the extra is charged at that driver's rate, shown before you confirm. Parking is on top: in Coventry that usually means a visitor voucher or a suspended bay. See parking a van in Coventry.
House removals across Coventry and round about
The drivers cover the whole city, including:
- Earlsdon
- Chapelfields
- Spon End
- Coundon
- Radford
- Foleshill
- Holbrooks
- Wyken
- Walsgrave
- Binley
- Willenhall
- Cheylesmore
- Styvechale
- Canley
- Tile Hill
They go out to Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton, Rugby, Warwick and Leamington Spa as well, and further when a move needs it. A run up the M6 or down the M40 is priced the same way as a move across town, with the driving counted in.
Moving from Coventry to another city
Longer moves are booked the same way as a move across town. The drive is part of the price, so what you choose is the loading time at each end. Allow for stairs and parking at both addresses, not just this one.
- Coventry to Birmingham
- West on the A45, or the M6 for the north of the city. A short run, so most of the time goes on loading and unloading.
- Coventry to Leicester
- Up the M69 from junction 2 of the M6. One of the easiest runs out of the city.
- Coventry to Nottingham
- The M69, then the M1 north. Give your driver the new postcode early if there is a key collection to fit around.
- Coventry to London
- The M1 or the M40. An early start avoids the worst of the traffic into London, and congestion or ULEZ charges go on top.
- Coventry to Manchester
- The M6 north past Birmingham, which is the slow part. If your driver uses the M6 Toll, the toll is paid on top.
- Coventry to Bristol
- The M42 and M5 south. Check the parking at the Bristol end, where many central streets are in residents' parking zones.
Questions about a man and van in Coventry
What does a man with a van charge?
Each driver sets his own prices, so there is no single figure for Coventry. What you pay comes from the van size, the loading and unloading time you pick, and whether you want a second person. The driving between the two addresses is already counted in. Put in your postcodes and you will see what each driver who covers your route would charge, before you book anything.
Can you travel with a man with a van?
Usually, yes, if there is a spare seat in the cab. Ask your driver when he gets in touch to confirm the time. If the cab is full, he will meet you at the other end.
What do a man and van do?
They load your things, drive them to the new address and carry them in. That covers a whole flat or house, one sofa from a shop, boxes into storage, or stock between two units. They do not clear rubbish or take it to be dumped. Drop-offs are to addresses: a new home, a storage unit, a charity shop or a relative's house.
What are some towns near Coventry?
Kenilworth is just south, Bedworth and Nuneaton are to the north, Rugby is east along the A428, and Warwick and Leamington Spa are a short run south down the A46. Solihull is to the west. The drivers here cover all of them, and two of them are based in Leamington and Rugby.
Does Warwickshire include Coventry?
Not any more. Coventry was in Warwickshire until 1974, when it became part of the West Midlands. It matters on moving day because parking is run by different councils: Coventry City Council inside the city, Warwickshire's councils in Kenilworth, Warwick, Leamington and Rugby. If you need a bay or a permit for the van, ask the council for the street you are moving on.
Can I get a man with a van in Coventry today?
You can send a request for today. Your driver will confirm if he can do it. If he can't, another local driver gets the job, and if no one can, the hold comes off your card.
Do I need to help with the loading?
No. Your driver loads and unloads in the time you book. For a sofa, a wardrobe or anything up the stairs, pick a driver who can come as two, like Ateeq or Ismael; the form shows the price with the second person before you send your request.
