Why SmoothMovers

No quote bait-and-switch.

Server-set pricing

Price is locked at booking. Drivers cannot raise it, add fuel surcharges, or invent extras on arrival.

DVLA-verified drivers

Licence, insurance, V5 cross-checked with DVLA before they can accept a job. No paperwork, no jobs.

Live status, no chasing

You see the driver accept, drive, and arrive — push notification the second they pull up.

Photo proof of delivery

Every job generates a delivery photo. Timestamped, geotagged, attached to your record.

Transparent commission

Drivers see the gross fare and our fee before they accept. No hidden deductions, no surprise splits.

Built for the UK

Postcodes, distance matrix, traffic, MOT checks — all tuned for British roads. We don't do US/EU maths.

Questions, answered

FAQ.

How is my price calculated?+

Server-side: van base rate + per-mile + estimated hours. The number is the number — no day-of adjustments.

Can the driver change the price on the day?+

No. The price is locked in Stripe. The driver cannot raise it. If they try, you get an instant refund.

What about a fuel surcharge?+

Built into the base rate. UK diesel fluctuates ±10% week to week; we do not pass that to you.

Do I pay upfront?+

Yes — full payment at booking. Driver sees the gross fare and our platform fee. You get an itemised receipt.

How are drivers verified?+

Driving licence + V5 cross-checked with DVLA. Insurance certificate reviewed. Stripe Connect payout set up.

Can I cancel?+

Free up to 24h before. After that, 50% refund. Driver can cancel any time with full refund to you.

How long does the job take?+

Depends on volume + distance. Small studio 1-bed flat within London: 2-3 hours. 3-bed house cross-country: 6-8 hours.

Something was damaged. What now?+

Goods-in-transit cover is included. File a claim from your dashboard — we mediate, the insurance pays out.

I was charged twice.+

Email support@smoothmovers.co.uk. We refund duplicate charges same-day, no questions.

Do you do European moves?+

Yes. France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland. Cross-Channel surcharges apply and are quoted upfront.
