Compare Renting a Van Yourself Against Hiring a Man With a Van for a House Move

The rental quote always looks cheaper than hiring help, right up until fuel, insurance excess, and a sore back get added to the total. This compares full likely cost against the man with a van quote, weighs effort and injury risk, flags anything in your move, like stairs or an awkward sofa, that tips the balance, and recommends one option with reasoning tied to your actual situation.
