Student removals in York start from £75 an hour with no VAT, the same rate as our standard service. We move University of York and York St John students between halls, shared houses and home, often at short notice. Housemates can share one van and split the cost, and our You Load option is cheaper still.
Student removals in York were one of the first things we did when we started in 2008, and we've been moving students in and out of the city ever since. Parents, couples and students on their own all book us, for moves to the University of York and York St John and back home again.
For a lot of students it's the first time living away from home. It's more than shifting boxes, so we treat every move with the same care, however little there is to carry.
Short-Notice Student Moves Around York
Moving mid-term without a car is hard work. Our vans can be booked at short notice for things like:
- A last-minute placement starting somewhere new
- Leaving halls for a shared house in the city
- Swapping rooms, halls or houses with other students
- A new housemate moving in with all their stuff
Share a Van With Your Housemates
A lot of students move as a group. Our vans have plenty of room for beds, desks, chairs and a year's worth of boxes, so housemates often book one van and split the cost between them. Tell us how many of you there are and how many addresses we're stopping at, and we'll plan the route.

Student Budgets: Two Ways to Pay Less
Student removals in York start from £75 an hour, the same rate as our standard service, with no VAT added. If you've got friends to help with the lifting, our You Load service is the cheapest way to move: you load the van, we drive it, from £155.
Not sure how much you've got? Our guide to making moving work for you as a student has some useful tips, and the pros and cons of student halls helps if you're still deciding where to live.
From First Term to Family Home
We've been moving students for long enough to see the whole story: the first nervous drop-off at halls, the move into a shared house, and years later the same people coming back to York to start a family. It's probably only a matter of time before we're moving their children into halls too.
Students don't always have much to move, but every item matters to the person who owns it, and we look after it that way.
