How do I get quotes for the job I have?

Is this service free?

There is no charge from us for using this service. You arrange payment with the Van operator that you choose at the price you agree. At no time does VanQuotes take any payment details. Always be careful who you give Credit Card details to online.

I’ve used other sites and did not get to talk to the driver. Can I talk to the person who will do my move before agreeing a price?

Yes. We will send you the phone number of any Van Operator who is interested in doing your job. You get to talk to the people who wish to work for you. We think this is essential and unlike some other sites we release the driver’s details before you agree a price.

Nobody has come back to me with a quote. What is wrong?

I don’t understand the Minimum Budget question. What is it?

This is simply the minimum you expect to pay for this job. It’s a guide for drivers. They will see if at that price they can fit it into their schedule. For best results try to be as accurate as possible. Please call if you are unsure.
