Arriving in London

Most of Greater London is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), and central London has the Congestion Charge on weekdays. Any charges that apply to our vehicles are included in your quote.

Many London streets have permit parking or red routes. If there is no space outside, we can advise on a parking suspension from your borough council, which usually needs about two weeks' notice.

For flats with lifts or concierge desks, let the building know your moving date and ask whether the lift needs to be reserved.

Leaving Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a Clean Air Zone. We check how the zone applies to the vehicles on your move and include any charge in your quote, so you never pay extra on the day.

Scottish school terms start in mid-August, earlier than in England, so families often move in late June or July.

Scottish moves are among our longest routes, so we plan driver hours carefully and agree a delivery window with you in advance.

When leaving Edinburgh, give your utility suppliers and council at least a week's notice, and tell us about any access issues such as steep drives, steps or no parking outside.
