Bristol covers a lot of ground, so we price man & van from the job in front of us — the property, the access at both ends and the distance between them — not from the city name. The same published rate card applies wherever in Bristol you are.

A driver and a van by the hour — for single rooms, part-loads, student moves and everything that does not need a full removals crew.

How man & van works, in full

With every move

Goods in Transit coverIncluded on every move, not sold as an add-on.
Public Liability coverIn place on every job, at home or at work.
Our own crewEvery mover is employed by AFS. We never pass your move to a subcontractor.
One named coordinatorYour single point of contact, from the quote to the last box.

We bring the materials. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons arrive with the crew and are itemised in your quote, so there is nothing to buy or collect first.

Man & Van in Bristol: common questions

Do you cover all of Bristol?

Yes. We cover all of Bristol and the rest of Bristol, and we move people to and from anywhere in the UK. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one — it just has more miles on it.

What are your prices for man & van in Bristol?

The same as everywhere we work — our rates do not change by postcode. For example, transit lwb, driver only: £60/hr (2-hour minimum (£120)). Billed for the hours worked, never below the minimum. Mileage between your two addresses and any stairs (£10 per person, per flight, per hour at that address) are added in your written quote. Your itemised written quote arrives within 24 hours.

How far is Bristol from your nearest office?

About 79 miles from our Coventry office. The time in your quote runs from the crew's arrival at your address, and the mileage is worked out from the road distance between your two addresses.

Do I need to arrange parking for moving day in Bristol?

Often, yes. The council rules we have found for Bristol are listed on this page with links to the official pages, including how much notice a parking suspension needs. Tell us what you have arranged when you book, and we plan the vehicle around it.

What is the minimum booking?

Two hours on the Small Transit and Transit LWB. Three hours on the Luton box van and the 5.5 and 7.5 tonne lorries.

Can I book a driver only, with no additional crew?

Yes, where the load allows it. Adding movers changes the hourly rate rather than adding a separate charge.

Is this suitable for a single item?

Yes. A single item, a part-load, or a full van run are all priced the same way — by the hour, plus mileage.
