Things to Know Before Your Aberdeen Move

Avoid bus gates in the city centre

Market Street, Guild Street, and Bridge Street are all camera-enforced 24 hours a day. Broad Street is restricted to local buses only. Our removal companies plan routes that avoid these gates so vans reach your address without fines.

Let your removal company know if you’re in the LEZ

Aberdeen’s LEZ began enforcement in June 2024. Non-compliant vehicles face a £60 Penalty Charge Notice, halved if paid within 14 days. All our moving partners check compliance before confirming your booking.

Tell your movers if you’re near the harbour

If your address sits close to the ferry terminal, use the council’s mapped LEZ-safe routes for non-compliant vehicles. Send these to your removal company ahead of time to keep loading smooth.

Don’t rely on city-centre car parks

Q-Park Trinity Centre is only 1.88 m high, Bon Accord Harriet Street 1.9 m, and Union Square 2.3 m. Vans will not fit, so our movers arrange legal kerbside access instead.

Remember pavement parking is banned

Aberdeen bans wheels-on-kerb parking across the city. Vans must stay fully on the road. Our moving partners plan safe stopping points and handle any short carry by hand.

FAQs About Movers in Aberdeen

How do I get accurate removal quotes?

To get an accurate quote, tell movers whether your address is inside the LEZ and where the van can legally stop. If you’re near the harbour, share the best access route in advance so they can plan loading properly. You should also flag nearby bus gates, as routes like Market Street, Guild Street and Bridge Street can’t be treated like normal shortcuts.

How do I choose a removal company?

Choose a company that checks route restrictions, LEZ compliance and stopping points before confirming the job. In Aberdeen, experienced movers should plan around bus gates and avoid relying on central car parks that may be too low for vans. Ask how they’ll handle kerbside access and any short carry if the van cannot stop directly outside.

How far in advance should I book movers?

You should book early if your move depends on city-centre access or a specific legal stopping point. Aberdeen’s LEZ, bus gates and pavement parking rules can all affect how the van reaches your property. Booking ahead gives movers time to check compliance, plan the route and avoid last-minute changes on moving day.

What should I tell movers about parking or access before moving day?

Tell your movers where the van can stop without using the pavement and whether any nearby car parks are unsuitable. City-centre options like Q-Park Trinity Centre, Bon Accord Harriet Street and Union Square may not work for standard removal vans because of height limits. Sharing this early helps movers choose safe kerbside access or plan for a short carry.
