How much does a man with a van cost in Dublin? It is the first question most people ask, and the honest answer is that it depends on your move. A single sofa going two streets away is a very different job to a full apartment moving from Sandyford to Swords. At Moving Service Dublin we do not publish price lists, because a fixed quote based on your actual move is fairer and more accurate.
Here is what affects the price, so you know what to tell us. You can also see our services or our man with a van Dublin page.
What affects the cost of a man with a van in Dublin
1. How much you are moving
The biggest factor is volume. A few boxes and a bike take a fraction of the van and a short time. A full one or two bed flat fills most of it. Larger homes may need more than one trip, which we plan in advance.
2. Access at both ends
Stairs, lifts and parking make a real difference. A ground floor house with a driveway is quick. A fourth floor walk up in a Georgian building in Dublin 2, or an apartment with a booked lift and a long walk from the car park, takes more time and effort.
3. Distance and traffic
A move within the same area is quicker than crossing the city on the M50 at rush hour. Long distance moves to places like Cork, Galway or Belfast include fuel and tolls in the fixed price.
4. Dismantling and reassembly
Beds, wardrobes and desks that need taking apart and putting back together add time. If you can do some of it yourself, the job is quicker.
5. Packing on the day
If everything is boxed and ready when we arrive, the move is faster. Loose items and half packed rooms slow things down.
How to keep your moving costs down
- Declutter before you move, since every item left behind saves time
- Pack everything into boxes and label them before the van arrives
- Reserve parking close to the door at both addresses
- Book the lift in advance for apartment buildings
- Choose a midweek date if you are flexible, as weekends and month ends are busiest
- Disconnect appliances and take apart flat pack furniture yourself if you can
- Share the van with a friend or housemate if you are both moving a small load
Why we give fixed prices
Some movers charge by the hour, which can leave you watching the clock and worrying about traffic. We prefer a fixed price quote based on what you tell us and any photos you send. You know the full cost up front, and there are no surprise charges at the end of the day. Every move is also fully insured.
