Plymouth-specific things to know
- No charging Clean Air Zone — removal vans aren't charged in Plymouth.
- Distance premium — Plymouth sits at the end of the A38, and the motorway network starts around Exeter (about 45 minutes away), so long-distance moves up-country carry a distance premium.
- Hills and access — Stoke, Mutley and the Hoe have steep hills, Victorian terraces and permit parking; flag hills and stairs when posting.
- Student season — the University of Plymouth drives September demand around North Hill and Mutley Plain.
What affects the price
Distance (especially for moves out of Devon), hills and access, job size and the day of the week — midweek and mid-month are cheaper.
