For some reason, they are often overlooked, although Man and Van services can be found in every city and town throughout the UK. Here’s 7 good reasons why man and van services are often a better option:
1. Maybe this is obvious, but, you get a pair of hands! – As the name “van and man” suggests, you get the man thrown into the deal too. This, needless to say, is extremely valuable particularly if you have awkward and heavy items to move or if you cannot, or, do not want to drive yourself.
2. Man and Van services are very convenient – There’s no going to pick up the van, there’s no making sure it’s full of diesel when it has to be returned in a hurry at the end of the hire period and there’s no hanging around in offices while paperwork gets signed off and licenses are scanned.
3. Man and Van services usually offer very experienced men – One van, generally speaking, is as good as the nextone and but, when it comes to moving items and even driving through a busy or awkward town centre one way system in a large van, it’s always better to lean on a bit of experience and have someone driving who knows how to get around that tight corner or into that tiny parking space.
4. Lower cost – Often, by the time you’ve worked out total costs for moving your goods and possessions you will be surprised to see how much it totals. It’s always worth asking the big companies about any additional costs that maybe incurred if you were to hire their services. Be especially careful when it comes to insurance.
5. Low commitment and cost storage – many van and man companies offer low cost storage with minimal term or ‘no contract’ policy. If there’s a chance you’re going to need storage for your items it’s well worth checking with the van and man service you’ve selected before you secure their services.
6. Short term hire – Most van and man services will hire themselves to you for a minimum of 2 hours, this means that as long as your job takes 2 hours then you wont be wasting money on a full days hire of just a van or removal service.
7. Personal Service – You just can’t get any more personal than a van and man, one guy who knows his business inside out and understands what you are worried about and what you need to achieve can be so much better than finding yourself in an awkward or potentially expensive situation. Personal service, friendliness and politeness go a long way to keeping the stress levels down when it comes to shifting your goods.
It’s always worth giving it a little thought or having a look around to see what sort of deal you can get if it’s something you think a van and man could help you with, even though to conclude, van and man services are not always appropriate, particularly with big house or office moves.
