Man and van jobs across the UK: clear payouts, no bidding

Will I get work?

Work depends on customer demand, your area, availability and suitability for each move. Joining does not guarantee jobs or a weekly income. You can see the complete fixed supplier payout and requirements before deciding whether to accept an offer.

How offers, approval and fees work

Portal access lets you prepare your details. Movesmith reviews your evidence and gives final approval, and current job-eligibility checks still apply. These are separate steps. Approval does not create customer demand.

Suitable suppliers receive offers in ranked groups. Jobs not accepted through those offers can then appear on the job board for eligible suppliers. You can decline before accepting. Acceptance still depends on the job's current checks.

There are no lead or subscription fees. Movesmith's platform commission is part of the job's commercial split; the complete supplier payout is shown before you accept. You do not pay simply to wait for work.

Keep your operating area, vehicle and crew capacity, evidence and availability accurate and current. These help us identify suitable jobs, but cannot guarantee offers.

Clear payouts, without the bidding war

Most platforms make you bid against other drivers and charge you for leads that go nowhere. Movesmith doesn’t. The customer pays a fixed price, you take an agreed share of completed jobs, and you keep your time for driving — not quoting.

  • No bidding

    Jobs are fixed-price. You claim the ones that suit you — no racing to the bottom.

  • No lead fees

    No joining fee, no pay-per-lead. You're paid for work you actually complete.

  • Paid after completion

    Your share is paid through the platform once the move is done — no invoice-chasing.

How it works

  1. 1

    Apply

    Request access in a few minutes. You don't need your insurance fully sorted to apply — we'll guide that step.

  2. 2

    Complete checks

    We check identity and Goods in Transit and Public Liability documents, record your declared vehicle type, and require a vehicle-compliance declaration. We do not physically inspect vehicles.

  3. 3

    Become job-eligible

    Portal access, document review and final approval are separate. Approval does not switch availability on. Job-eligible operators can receive suitable offers subject to their approved scope, capacity and job dates; volume is not guaranteed.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    Your agreed share is paid out after the move completes — through the platform, no invoice-chasing.

What you need to start

  • A suitable van (from a small van for man-and-van loads up to a Luton for house moves)
  • A valid UK driving licence and the right to work
  • Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance (we'll point you to a removals specialist if you need cover)
  • A smartphone — jobs, customer details and mark-complete all run in the app

Man and van jobs — your questions

How removals work on Movesmith, what you need, and how you get paid.

Are there man and van jobs on Movesmith near me?

Yes. Customers book fixed-price removals and man-and-van jobs, and each booking is offered to verified operators. Where offers reach you, you accept the ones that fit your van and schedule; volume is not guaranteed.

How do I get removals work in my area?

Apply for supplier access. Movesmith checks identity, Goods in Transit and Public Liability documents, records your declared vehicle type and requires a vehicle-compliance declaration before job eligibility. There's no joining fee and no bidding.

Do I need my own van?

Yes — you'll need a suitable van for the jobs you want to take, from a small van for single-item and man-and-van loads up to a Luton for full house moves. You drive your own vehicle.

What insurance do I need for man and van work?

Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance are required before you can take jobs, plus the usual road-legal cover for your vehicle. If you don't have GIT cover yet, we can point you to a removals-specialist broker — see our insurance page.

Does Movesmith charge lead fees?

No. There are no lead fees and no joining fee. You're paid an agreed share of each completed job — you don't pay to quote or to be matched.

How do I become a man and van driver with Movesmith?

Request access, complete verification, and once final approval is recorded you can accept suitable offers (volume is not guaranteed). We review every application and document by hand and will email you as soon as each is checked.
