Bigger Isn’t Always Better: Costs and Benefits of our Removal Vans
Small can be beautiful - Our vans are cheap and spacious
It’s an age-old argument, and it ain’t ‘alf controversial. Is bigger better? There’s arguments on both sides for everything from head to *ahem* toe…? But when it comes to removal vans, the truth is plain to see. Unlike other things :-P .
A 7.5-tonne removal van is not twice as spacious as a 3.5-tonne van. While a 7.5-tonne van can carry double the weight, its interior space is approximately 1,100 cubic feet. By comparison, two 3.5-tonne vans offer 1,300 cubic feet, providing space for 40 additional boxes at a cheaper price.
For two 3.5 tonne removalvans, we charge £650 for a full load with three workers, with no parking concerns.
Costs for a 200-mile round trip:
2 x 3.5-tonne van costs breakdown:
- Travel time (5 hours at £35/hour): £175
- Removal cost: £650
- Mileage (£0.50/mile): £100
- Wear and tear: £50
Total: £975

The removal van comparison
For the same journey with the same services, a 7.5-tonne removal van costs £1,050, offers less space, and may face parking challenges. The minimum cost for a full 7.5-tonne van with three workers is £795, and it often requires parking permits, unlike a 3.5-tonne van. Regarding fuel efficiency: 7.5-tonne vehicles average 18-20 miles per gallon, while 3.5-tonne vans achieve about 30 miles per gallon.
