Can anyone please recommend a reliable removal company covering Glasgow South that doesn't cost a small fortune?

Many thanks

is this a local or cross UK move?

Sometimes local taxi van companies are the cheapest - basically a man/men and van operation that charge a low fixed price or hourly rate, according to size of vehicle or number of hands.

I used the following company which was around 20% less than the lowest quote and 60% less than the dearest but you will need to check if they cover your area.

Get yourself multiple quotes from the national taxi van chains.

oh, and be wary of ultra low quotes and make sure it's in writing.

2 out of 3 companies I contacted that provided the lowest quotes raised them substantially when I enquired again closer to the date of the move with a view to booking their services.

I'm not sure why these companies believe a customer would then confirm a booking when they've shown themselves to unreliable by hiking the price but that's what a number of them did.
