Moving van hire prices in Islington

These are the Islington floor prices for a moving van booking. Van size first, then whether a second loader is needed. A short wheelbase van suits a few items; a Luton with tail-lift is the rate most two-bed moves land on once the tail-lift's time saving on stairs is weighed against its higher hourly cost. In this borough the additional variables are the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Moving van hire price guide for Islington
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Small van and driver, per hour£38Min. 2 hrsA short wheelbase van fits a handful of boxes and small furniture — the lowest hourly rate because one driver loads alone.
LWB Transit-class van and driver, per hour£48Min. 2 hrsA long-wheelbase van takes a one-bed flat's furniture in a single trip, which is why it is the rate most bookings land on.
Luton with tail-lift and driver, per hour£58Min. 2 hrsThe tail-lift removes the need to carry a washing machine or wardrobe down steps by hand, and the box body takes a two-bed load without a second run.
Second loader, per hour£22Per hour workedOptional labour on top of any van size — the driver alone can load light items, but wardrobes, sofas and stairs need a second pair of hands.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, business and letting-agent invoices are plus VAT at 20%. The driver loading their own van is included in the hourly rate; a second loader is booked separately where the job needs stairs or heavy furniture carried. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the van is booked, never added afterwards.

Working in Islington

Why Islington is not a generic London job

Emirates Stadium and Upper Street is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Islington.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Islington is four-storey georgian terraces with basements, victorian conversions and large council estates around finsbury park, and the mix changes street by street — Angel (N1), Archway (N19) and Barnsbury (N1) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Islington sets the constraint: wall-to-wall cpzs, red routes on holloway road and city road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all.

Scope

What's included in Islington

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Angel or Tufnell Park.

Included in the price

  • Driver who loads and secures the van, not just drives it
  • Straps, blankets and a trolley carried as standard on every van
  • A two-hour minimum booking so a short local run is never quoted as a full day
  • Choice of three van sizes so you pay for the space you actually fill
