Man and van in Tallinn

A man and van is for short, quick jobs within the city. Typical bookings are:

• a sofa, wardrobe or table bought from a classified ad has to be collected from another district;
• a washing machine or fridge from the shop has to come home now, not in a few days;
• a few packs of tiles or a couple of doors are needed for a renovation;
• bikes, garden furniture or boxes have to go to the summer house or garage.

Unlike a move, there is no need for a big crew or long planning. Usually a driver who helps load and one trip are enough.

Four things help us when you book: the pick-up and drop-off address, a list or photo of the items, the floor and whether there is a lift, and a suitable time. The more precise the description, the more precise the price we can give you straight away.

If you are buying from a private seller, agree a time when they are at home and the item is brought out or at least near the door. Pay the seller directly and check the item before loading: our job is to get it there safely.

If there are several stops, for example collecting from two shops, say so when booking. Then we plan the route so the trip does not drag on.

Most of the time usually goes on carrying, not driving. Measure beforehand whether a large item fits through the stairwell and door, and if needed take off legs or doors before the van arrives.

In the city centre, Kalamaja and near the Old Town parking is limited. If the van cannot stop in front of the building, tell us the nearest place where it can stand for a short time. Driving into the Old Town is restricted, so mention it in advance.

Wrap glass and fragile items in film or cardboard yourself if you can. We strap the goods down and protect furniture with blankets so nothing moves while driving.

The man and van price is based on time, with a minimum booking. A short trip within the city usually fits into the minimum. Waiting time, extra stops and an extra mover, if an item is too heavy for one person, can be added.

Starting prices are below. If you describe the job precisely, we can give you the final price on the phone.

The line between the two is not always clear. A rule of thumb: if everything fits into the van in one go and the driver can load it alone or with one helper, a man and van is enough. If you need to empty a whole apartment, pack dishes, take furniture apart and carry for several hours, it is better to book a move, where the crew and time are planned properly from the start.

A man and van also works well to finish a smaller move. After a big move there are often a few boxes, a lamp or a bike left at the old place, and it makes no sense to send a big crew for them.

If you are not sure which option suits you, describe the situation on the phone and we will suggest the cheaper one.
