This was my first big move and I was nervous, but Zero Hour Moving made it painless. Booking was quick, the crew showed up on time, and nothing was scratched. Five stars from me!

Man With A Van: Small Moves, Big Reliability
Not every move needs a 26-foot truck and a three-person crew. When you are moving a studio, a student room, a few pieces of furniture or a marketplace find, a man with a van from Zero Hour Moving is faster, cheaper and easier to book.
You get a professional mover, not a stranger with a rental. Our vans are clean and fitted with blankets, straps, dollies and floor protection, and the mover is trained to wrap, load and carry properly so a small move still gets a professional result.
Add a second mover for heavier pieces or stairs.
Students, downsizers, condo dwellers, small businesses and anyone who has just bought a couch online use our van service every week. Simple hourly pricing with no hidden fees is the whole point.
Good to know: every man with a van job is quoted individually and in writing. Tell us the details and we confirm availability and a clear price the same day.

How much fits in the van?
Roughly the contents of a studio or one-bedroom apartment, or about 20 to 25 medium boxes plus a sofa and a bed.
Do I need to help carry?
No. The mover does all the lifting. You are welcome to help but it is never required.
Can the mover pick something up on the way?
Yes. Extra stops are added to the hourly time.
Is a man with a van cheaper than a moving truck?
For small moves, yes. You pay for a smaller vehicle and crew. For two-bedroom homes and larger, a truck with two movers is usually more efficient.
Can I book two movers with the van?
Yes, and we recommend it for appliances, sofas and any move involving stairs.
Do you offer same-day van moves?
Often. Call before noon and we can usually fit you in the same day on weekdays.
Is my stuff insured in the van?
Yes. Basic coverage is included on every booking.
