Compare renting a van yourself against hiring a full removal service for moving day
A van hire looks like the cheap option until you count the fuel, the day off work, and three flights of stairs with a wardrobe. This compares self hire against a full removal service on real total cost, effort and what happens if something gets damaged, then tells you which one wins for your specific move and what would flip the answer.
