Our Fleet
We have a range of vehicles to suit your exact requirements. You can specify which size vehicle you require or we will be happy to make a recommendation. Unlike some companies, all our vehicles are owned by us and feature our distinctive sign writing. Always check when collecting quotes that companies you speak to actually own the vehicles they claim to. See below our current fleet of vans, offering a vehicle for all requirments with the professional approach we are noted for. Remember, we can combine vehicles to provide for any requirement!
All our vehicles are minimum Euro 4 specification low emissions so don't incur the £200.00 surcharge other companies will add to your bill when entering Low Emissions Zones.

All of our vehicles are maintained to the highest standard by our on-site mechanic ensuring we have a 100% reliability record. We also have comprehensive breakdown cover on all our vehicles for the ' just in case ' peace of mind. We only operate low emission vehicles to ensure we minimise our impact on the environment. As a result, unlike many other removal companies, we don't charge additionally for the LEZ charge, levied on older less efficient vehicles entering Greater London (this is in addition to the central London congestion charging zone). The LEZ charge of £200.00 operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is often added to bills without customers knowledge. To find out more about the LEZ charge visit www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/lez/ All operators of HGV vehicles must be authorised to use them by the Ministry of Transport (VOSA), showing that they are correctly maintained and that the operators adhere to strict regulations. Avante Removals operates with HGV's as well as smaller vans meaning we can offer an all round service fully compliant with the law. Ask if other companies quoting for your move are registered with VOSA and have an operators licence. Also, always ask to see proof of insurance for your cargo!
