What is the cheapest way to move as a student in Plymouth?

Can you move me out of my Plymouth halls or student house? Yes — we cover all major Plymouth student areas including the University of Plymouth halls, Plymouth Marjon University, Mutley, Greenbank, Lipson and North Hill. We can collect from one address and drop off at multiple locations across the city if you're splitting items with housemates.
Do you do same-day student moves? Yes, depending on availability. Same-day moves are common for smaller student jobs and urgent end-of-term collections. We aim to reply to same-day quote requests within an hour during working hours.
Do you charge a deposit for student moves? We take a small deposit to secure your booking and lock in the date and time slot. The remainder is payable on the day, usually by card or bank transfer. The deposit comes off the total — it's not an extra charge.
Are there any hidden fees? No. We don't charge call-out fees, fuel surcharges, booking commissions or weekend premiums. The price we quote is the price you pay. The only thing that can change the cost is if the job on the day is materially different from what was described — for example, a much larger volume of items than expected.
