10 Ways to Save Money on Your Move
By Men With Ven — Glasgow’s affordable man with a van and removals company serving all of the UK.
Moving house doesn’t have to cost a fortune. With some smart planning and a few insider tips, you can save money while still getting a safe, reliable service. Here are ten proven ways to make your move budget-friendly.
Our Top 10 Money-Saving Tips
- Declutter first. The less you move, the less you pay. Donate, sell or recycle unwanted items before moving day.
- Book early. Avoid last-minute surcharges by confirming your date as soon as possible.
- Move mid-week. Weekends are busiest — weekday bookings often cost less.
- Compare quotes properly. Always check what’s included (mileage, loading time, fuel). Men With Ven offers clear, no-hidden-fee pricing.
- Pack yourself. If you have time, handle packing to save on labour costs — we can still provide advice and materials.
- Use your own boxes. Ask local shops for spare boxes or reuse old ones where safe.
- Disassemble furniture in advance. Saves time on moving day and fits more into each van load.
- Reserve parking. A nearby space reduces time spent walking items to the van.
- Combine trips. If you’re moving multiple small loads, combine them into one larger booking.
- Choose Men With Ven. Our three Volkswagen Crafter vans make removals efficient — no oversized vehicle costs, just honest value across Glasgow and the UK.
