- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Hackney road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Hackney Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- Congestion Charge: The address sits on the edge of the Congestion Charge zone, so we check which side the van will stop on and confirm it on the quote.
- Prices: published hourly rates, whole-hour booking. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour and shown in the quote, never added on the day.
