Moving in Edinburgh — what to know
Local considerations for your man with a van in Edinburgh.
- ✓The Edinburgh Festival (last two weeks of August) causes major road closures and heavy traffic throughout the city. Moving in central Edinburgh during August is significantly harder and more expensive — aim for July or September if possible.
- ✓Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone covers the city centre. Non-compliant vehicles face charges from 2025 — confirm your driver is compliant before booking.
- ✓Most Edinburgh properties are tenement flats (4-storey sandstone buildings with no lifts). Always specify the floor level and stair access in your job description.
- ✓New Town, Marchmont and Morningside have strict resident parking permit schemes. You may need to arrange a temporary parking suspension from Edinburgh City Council.

Indicative ranges for Edinburgh — drivers compete on We Got The Move, so you choose the best price. Free to post, pay just £9.99 when you accept.
July is the best month to move — before Festival chaos. September is very busy for student moves (University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Napier).
Festival period (August) road closures make city centre moves very difficult. Parking suspensions for tenement flats often need 2 weeks' notice.
Man with a van FAQ — Edinburgh
Do I need a full removal company or will a man with a van do?
For moves up to about 2 bedrooms, a man with a van is usually all you need — and significantly cheaper than a full removal firm. For larger house moves with lots of furniture, you may want a Luton van or a driver with a helper. Describe your load when posting and drivers will advise.
How much does a man with a van cost in Edinburgh?
Prices vary based on the size of the job, distance, and how many drivers bid. By posting on We Got The Move, Edinburgh drivers compete for your job which drives prices down. You only pay £9.99 to accept the quote you like — the rest goes directly to the driver.
Can I get a man with a van at short notice in Edinburgh?
Yes — many drivers on We Got The Move are available at short notice. Post your job with your preferred date and Scotland drivers will respond. Same-day and next-day bookings are possible depending on availability.
Which areas of Edinburgh do drivers cover?
Drivers cover all Edinburgh postcodes (EH) and typically cover Leith, Morningside, Portobello and the wider City of Edinburgh area. Each driver sets their own operating radius, so coverage can extend well beyond the city centre.
