"They might be able to price it per mile depending on their costs.

Or you might need to ring around for quotes and they'll just figure it out based on the two addresses.

A more independent person might be a bit more flexible too."

"Every man and van is different in terms of how far they would travel and pricing although all follows similar principles,

As for me I cover the whole of UK if the customer is happy to foot the bill since it might be cheaper to hire a local man and van, however I have had customers telling me they couldn’t find any one local and for that matter they had no choice except to hire my services from afar"
