# Man With a Van in NYC for the Smaller Jobs

Not every move needs a 26-foot truck. For a few pieces of furniture, a load of boxes or a pickup from a store, we send a cargo van with two of our own movers, which is far easier to park on a tight Brooklyn or Queens block.

You get the same careful crew and the same insurance as our full moves, at $165 an hour with a 3-hour minimum. Text or chat us a photo of the load for a reply in under a minute, or call (212) 555-0142.

## Do you offer man with a van in NYC?

Yes. We send a cargo van with two of our own movers for small loads anywhere in the five boroughs, Jersey City, Hoboken and Westchester. It’s $165 an hour with a 3-hour minimum, the same rate as our trucks, and most van jobs inside the city finish within that minimum. A van parks more easily, which saves time on narrow streets. Send a photo of what’s going and both addresses, and we’ll tell you whether a van is enough.

**Typical job (example prices):** Most van jobs within one borough, or to the next one over, finish within the 3-hour minimum: $495. Longer trips, like Brooklyn to Westchester, usually take 3–4 hours.

- **Best for:** A few pieces or up to 20 boxes
- **Quote details:** Photo + both addresses
- **Base:** Brooklyn, NY

## When a van is the right call

A van makes sense when the load is small enough that a full truck would drive around half empty: a bed, a dresser and fifteen boxes, a couch from a seller in Astoria, or a few things out of a storage unit. It also helps where parking is tight. A van fits in spaces a truck can’t, so the crew spends less time circling the block and less time carrying from the corner.

Typical van jobs for us are moving someone into a partner’s apartment, picking up furniture bought online, taking a desk and chair to a new office, or emptying a storage unit into a new place. If your list keeps growing as you walk through the apartment, a regular apartment move is often better value, and we’ll say so when we see the photos.

### What to send for a quote
- Photos of every item, or a short video of the pile
- Both addresses, with floors and whether there’s an elevator
- The day and time window that suit you
- Anything awkward: a long staircase, a tight turn or a very heavy piece
- Store or seller pickup details, if it’s a collection

## Who this service is for

- **You’re moving a few pieces of furniture and some boxes, not a whole apartment**
- **You bought something big online or from a store and need it brought home**
- **You live on a block where a full-size truck has nowhere to stop**
- **You’re moving into a furnished room or a sublet**
- **You need things taken to or from a storage unit**
- **You’d rather have two careful movers than rent a van and call in favors**

## When another service is a better fit

We would rather point you to the right service than squeeze every job into the same box.

- [Apartment & Home Moves](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/apartment-moves/): Moving a whole apartment, even a small one, is usually quicker and cheaper with a full truck in one trip.
- [Single-Item Moves](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/single-item-moves/): For one heavy or valuable piece, we can agree a single price instead of billing by the hour.
- [Junk Removal](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/junk-removal/): If the things are going to the dump or to donation rather than a new home, junk removal handles the disposal.

## How we quote this kind of job

1. **Send a photo:** Text or chat a photo of what’s going, both addresses and the floors at each end.
2. **We confirm the van:** We tell you whether a van is enough, how long it should take and when we can come.
3. **Load and go:** Two movers arrive, wrap and load, drive across town and carry everything to the room you want.

## Man With a Van questions answered

### Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, 3 hours at $165 an hour, so $495 for two movers and the van. Most van jobs inside the city finish within that time.

### Can you collect something I bought online?
Yes, from a store, a warehouse or a seller’s apartment. Send us the pickup address and the listing photo, and we’ll check it fits.

### Can I book just one mover?
Every van job comes with two movers. For anything heavy or going up stairs, two is safer and usually quicker, which keeps the hours down.

### How quickly can you come?
Van jobs are often booked within a day or two, sometimes the same day. Text us and we’ll give you the first open slot.

### Are van jobs insured?
Yes. The same $100,000 cargo cover and $2 million liability apply, and we can send a COI to your building.
