Edinburgh runs a little pricier than Glasgow, partly because of the Festival and tighter central access. Here's a realistic 2026 guide for a man with a van.
Typical man with a van prices in Edinburgh
- Single item or small delivery: £35–£70
- A few items / studio (quarter to half day): £140–£300
- 1-bedroom flat: £300–£500
- 2-bedroom home: £500–£850
- 3-bedroom home (large van + a helper): £700–£1,200+
Edinburgh-specific things to know
- August Festival — the city is jammed and accommodation/parking are at a premium in August; avoid moving then if you can, or expect higher prices and slower access.
- Low Emission Zone — Edinburgh's LEZ covers the city centre, so confirm your driver's van is compliant for central routes.
- Tenement stairs and New Town parking — upper-floor tenement moves take longer, and much of the New Town is permit-only; you may need to arrange loading access.
- Routes — the City Bypass (A720) and M8/M9 handle longer moves.
What affects the price
Floor level, central access, the time of year (August especially), plus the usual job size, distance and day of the week.
