Movers in Navan

A man-with-a-van outfit is 1-2 people and a mid-size van — ideal for studio/1-bed moves, single items, and short hops, at roughly half the hourly cost of a full crew. Full moving companies bring bigger trucks, more crew, packing services and proper transit insurance — worth it from a 2-bedroom home upward or when access is difficult.

Basic coverage included in most quotes is minimal (often a small amount per item or per kilo/pound). Ask about full-value protection or goods-in-transit insurance, what it costs, and what's excluded — owner-packed boxes are usually not covered for breakage. Photograph valuable items before the move and note any damage on the delivery sheet before the crew leaves.

Yes, but as a declared specialty item with a surcharge — upright pianos, safes, marble tables and gym machines need extra crew, straps or dollies. Never let a two-person crew improvise a piano move down stairs; ask whether the firm has done that specific item and whether their insurance covers it.

Do a proper survey — in-home or video — or send a full inventory list, including garage, loft and garden items. Vague phone estimates based on 'a 2-bed flat' are the top cause of moving-day price disputes. Get at least three quotes in writing, and check whether each includes travel time, fuel, materials, and dismantling.

A man with a van runs roughly €50-€100 per hour for small moves. Fixed quotes for houses typically land around €250-€650 for a 1-bed, €450-€1,100 for a 2-bed and €800-€1,800 for a 3-bed, with Dublin at the top of each range.

Self-drive van hire costs roughly €60-€120 per day plus fuel and deposit, so a small move can come in under €150 — but you supply all the labour and carry all the breakage risk, and larger Luton vans need confident driving on narrow streets. For a 1-bed or smaller it's often worth it; beyond that, crew time usually beats two exhausting self-drive days.
