Uni Move-In Day Chauffeur
First-year university move-in for Leeds, York, Sheffield and Newcastle — bike, boxes, bedding, and the parents' emotional support in one V-Class.
September move-in day is chaos: one-way systems around Leeds Uni, no parking at James College York, and 14 boxes to be up three flights of stairs by 15:00. A V-Class run solves the logistics.
Booked by parents of first-years, especially those from the south flying into MAN and doing a move-in in one day.
Home / airport → parents-storage collection → hall of residence → home.
The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.
Move-in day is usually a 4-hour window. We build the day around your slot.
Leeds move-in £280 (Harrogate) · York £220 · Sheffield £360 · Newcastle £480.

- Boxes stacked to allow parent-plus-student in the middle row

- Sheffield Ranmoor: gate closed to non-permit vehicles from 15:00
Yes — with wheels attached, in the V-Class boot. Two bikes: only if one is folded.
Kettle, microwave, mini-fridge?
All fine — checked against the university's approved-list. We've done every combination.
Yes — driver drops the student and it's just the parents home. Usually the quietest hour of the day.
