Most UK man and van services charge between £40 and £70 per hour for a single driver, depending on city, van size, and how busy the local market is.
The hour usually starts when the driver arrives at your pickup address and ends when they leave the drop-off. Driving between the two is included in that time; parking, loading, and unloading aren’t separate fees. Two-person crews typically run £55–£90/hour.
London and the South East price higher than the national average. The Midlands, Wales, and the North tend to price lower. Avoid services that quote an “estimated time” without committing to it on the day — that’s where surprise bills come from.

What about Bristol specifically?
Bristol man and van rates sit toward the lower end of the national range — typically £40–£55 per hour for a single driver, and £55–£75 for a two-person crew. A mix of student moves, terraced housing, and short-distance jobs keeps the market competitive. Residents’ parking zones in Clifton, Cotham, and Redland can add 15–20 minutes to a move if you haven’t arranged a permit in advance. See current Bristol rates and book a local driver.
