If you just typed “man and van Copenhagen” into Google, you already know what you want. You do not need a lecture about removals. You need a professional, insured team with a van who turns up on time, handles your belongings correctly and charges a fair fixed price. That is GIA Service ApS. We have been doing this in Copenhagen since 2015.
We are English-speaking. We understand exactly what “man and van” means — because half our customers are British, Australian, American, Irish or South African, and they use this phrase specifically because they know what they want and they do not want a complicated explanation of Danish moving services. So here is the straightforward version.
What man and van means in Copenhagen — and what we actually do
In the UK, a man and van service means one professional, one van, flexible pricing, for jobs that are too big to do yourself but too small to justify a full removal company. Moving a sofa. Collecting a wardrobe from Facebook Marketplace. Moving from a studio to a one-bedroom. Clearing out a storage unit. Taking boxes to a new flat across town.
In Copenhagen, we provide exactly this. The difference is we also know the city — the one-way streets in Indre By, the parking restrictions in Nørrebro, the narrow staircases in Frederiksberg apartment buildings, which buildings have goods lifts and which do not. You do not have to explain Copenhagen to us. We live here.
What we can do for you
- Moving between apartments — studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom. Fixed price based on apartment size, not hourly. You know the total before we arrive.
- Single item moves — sofa, wardrobe, bed, desk. Collected from one address, delivered to another. Same day if needed.
- Store collections — we collect from IKEA, HAY, any Copenhagen furniture store and deliver to your apartment. Carried upstairs, assembled if needed.
- Junk removal — items you need gone. Collected, carried out, disposed of through ARC eco-certified channels.
- Student moves — end of year, beginning of year. Single room or full student house. Quick, efficient, priced fairly.
- Office moves — desks, chairs, equipment. Scheduled around your office hours. CVR invoicing for businesses.
- Marketplace collections — bought something on DBA or Facebook Marketplace that will not fit in a taxi? We collect it and bring it to you.
Pricing — fixed, not hourly
Unlike most UK man and van services which charge by the hour, GIA Service ApS charges a fixed price based on the job. You know what you pay before we arrive. The price in the quote is the price on the invoice. No “it took longer than expected” conversations at the end.
| Job type | From (excl. VAT) | From (incl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| Single item collection and delivery | DKK 695 | DKK 868.75 |
| Single sofa or armchair removal | DKK 1,395 | DKK 1,743.75 |
| Studio / up to 30 m² apartment move | DKK 3,985 | DKK 4,981.25 |
| 1–2 bedroom / up to 50 m² move | DKK 5,985 | DKK 7,481.25 |
| 2–3 bedroom / up to 70 m² move | DKK 7,985 | DKK 9,981.25 |
| Floor surcharge (stairs, per floor above ground) | DKK 150/floor | DKK 187.50/floor |
| ARC eco-certified disposal fee | DKK 340 | DKK 425 |
All prices exclude 25% Danish VAT. Weekend moves (Saturday) are approximately 15% higher. We do not charge extra for stairs if you carry items to street level yourself before we arrive — many customers do this to keep the cost down.
For British expats and UK nationals in Denmark
If you are British and living in Copenhagen — whether you arrived last month or have been here for years — you are used to a certain standard of service. Reliable. Punctual. No drama. English spoken without you having to ask. That is what we provide, every time.
We also understand the specific logistics of a British expat’s life in Denmark:
- Arriving in Denmark — your Copenhagen apartment is empty. Danish rentals include nothing — no lights, no appliances, no furniture. We collect from IKEA on the same day you arrive and furnish your flat before your jet lag kicks in.
- Moving within Copenhagen — changing neighbourhoods, upgrading from a studio, moving in with a partner. Same-day or next-day service available across all Copenhagen postcodes.
- Sending items back to the UK — moving back after your assignment ends? We handle the clearance of your Copenhagen apartment and can arrange freight to any UK address. Post-Brexit Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief available for UK nationals — we advise on the process.
- One-off collections — bought something on DBA or from a neighbour who is leaving Denmark? We collect it and bring it to you.
Same-day man and van in Copenhagen
We offer same-day service across Copenhagen and greater Copenhagen when you contact us during opening hours. Monday to Saturday 07:30–18:00. Sundays 10:30–17:00. Yes, we work Sundays — which is when most people in Copenhagen actually want to move, and when almost every other moving company is closed.
For same-day jobs: email info@giaservice.dk or call +45 9384 1333. Tell us what needs moving, where from, where to, and what floor. We confirm availability and a fixed price within the hour.
Why GIA Service ApS — not a random van on DBA
Copenhagen has private van owners who advertise on DBA and Facebook. Some are fine. Some turn up late, have no insurance, and leave your sofa at the bottom of the stairs when they realise it is heavier than they expected. We have heard every version of this story from customers who tried the cheap option first.
GIA Service ApS has been operating professionally since 2015. We are Tryg insured. We carry the right equipment for every job. We have a fixed business address, a CVR number, and a track record of completed jobs across every Copenhagen neighbourhood. You are not taking a chance on us.
