Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood run into one another, so there is a dense local removal market competing for the same work and quotes come back quickly. The terraced streets that make up much of the town have on-street parking that fills during the day — an early start, or a suspension where the council allows it, is usually the difference between a quote at the bottom of the range and one at the top.
Maidstone is barely more than a local job at £250–£430 over nine miles, Dartford is £290–£490, Canterbury £300–£520 and London £330–£560 over 35 miles. That London figure is low for the distance because the A2 and M2 carry constant van traffic into the capital and back. If you are moving toward London, ask whether the firm has a return load available on your date; on this corridor they frequently do.
