Van with driver prices in Portsmouth: how they're worked out
How it works round here.
Portsmouth, Portsmouth • Prices
Portsmouth is unusual in being built across an island, with its PO1 to PO6 postcodes spread from the naval waterfront out towards Cosham and Hilsea.
That layout matters when you're shifting a sofa, a full house move or a single parcel across the city, because the price depends on the space your items take up in the van and the miles between pick-up and drop-off, not on how long the job takes.
A single item collected and delivered within Portsmouth costs £55, a half van load £139, and a full van load £249. Head out towards Gosport, just under four miles away, and the same loads come to £55, £139 and £249. Trips to Waterlooville or Havant, both a little further out to the north and east, are priced at £55, £139 and £249 for the same three load sizes. Every quote includes the call-out for the van size you need alongside the space and mileage charge, so you know the full cost before you book. Whether you're clearing a flat near the seafront, moving between the retail parks off the M275, or sending a single piece of furniture out to a neighbouring town, the price is fixed from the start and covers the whole job door to door.
