National Removals pricing
National removals are charged by the hour, including driving time, so a long-distance move is priced on the work involved rather than a flat premium. As a guide, expect an hourly crew-and-van rate plus the drive time each way; we confirm an estimate once we know the route, property size and access. Packing and storage are quoted as add-ons.

National Removals: your questions answered
How much does a long-distance move from London cost?
Because we charge by the hour, the cost depends on property size, access and the distance to drive. We give you a clear estimate of the hours involved — including driving time — before you book, so there are no surprises.
Do you charge a fixed price or by the hour?
National moves are charged by the hour, which is usually fairer on long routes — you pay for the time the job actually takes rather than an inflated flat fee.
Is it the same crew the whole way?
Yes. One vetted crew loads in London, drives the route and unloads at the destination — your belongings are never handed over or re-loaded at a depot.
Can you store our things if the dates don’t line up?
Yes — we offer secure storage at either end of the move, which is common on long-distance moves where completion dates don’t match.
Which parts of the UK do you cover?
We move from London and the Home Counties to anywhere in mainland Great Britain — England, Wales and mainland Scotland.
