A little planning. A smoother move.

Get your Nottingham student move ready

Choose your accommodation and the access you need. Get the right checks for your move before comparing prices.

Your moving checklist

Use the provider named on your accommodation agreement.

Check both addresses, including the route from the van to the room.

The quote lets you choose the van’s collection window. A destination arrival slot is separate.

Use this to prepare. It does not reserve access, arrange a permit or update a booking.

Your next steps

Start with these essentials

  1. Count packed boxes and bags and list any furniture separately. Check what the room already provides.
  2. Keep keys, your check-in documents and essentials with you so the room can be opened before unloading.

Your selections stay in this page. Copy the checklist before you leave.

Nottingham · useful local detail

Your accommodation determines the arrival plan

A university name is not enough to identify the unloading entrance or the person holding your keys. Start with your actual hall or tenancy.

01

NTU and UPP halls

NTU links arrival-slot booking to the halls induction. The earliest move-in date comes from your licence; private accommodation has its own arrangements.

Your next step Complete the provider’s steps, then check the van booking can work with your confirmed slot.

02

University of Nottingham halls

The university’s September 2026 arrivals guidance requires a Key Collection Pass and vehicle registration when parking on campus.

Your next step Check the instructions for your own hall and tell the provider that you are bringing a van.

03

Private halls and shared houses

Your landlord, letting agent or hall operator controls the handover. A residential parking arrangement does not by itself confirm where a van can unload.

Your next step Ask for the key location, usable unloading point, floor and lift arrangements in one message.

04

Moving out or using storage

A gap between tenancies changes the journey: belongings need somewhere agreed to go after collection. Transport and storage need separate arrangements.

Your next step Confirm the storage booking and access hours before booking either moving leg.

Local sources checked 7 September 2026. Follow your provider’s latest instructions and the signs at the address.

Get the details right

Pack for the room you are moving into

Keep the inventory accurate

  • Count boxes after packing, including bags and loose items.
  • List a desk, chair or mattress only if it belongs to you and is moving.

Plan both ends

  • Confirm the collection floor as well as the destination floor.
  • Measure the lift if furniture needs to go inside it.

Make the handover work

  • Keep your key collection pass outside the packed boxes.
  • Agree who stays with the items if keys are collected elsewhere.

Put it into practice

Two student moves, two different plans

Illustrative plans to help you prepare. Your quote uses your own route, items and access.

Halls arrival

Boxes and bags into an NTU room

Confirm the licence start and provider’s arrival instructions. Pack the room essentials together and keep the check-in documents with you.

What changes the plan: The room must be accessible when the van is ready to unload.

Between tenancies

A shared house to storage, then a new room

List the furniture as well as boxes. Arrange the storage unit yourself and plan its collection and redelivery access as separate journeys.

What changes the plan: The gap between tenancies and storage opening hours matter as much as distance.

Questions about booking

Do these arrival instructions apply to every Nottingham student?

No. Choose the provider on your accommodation agreement. NTU/UPP, University of Nottingham halls and private accommodation have different processes.

Can I book transport to a storage unit?

Yes. Enter the storage address as the collection or delivery point, choose a collection window online and add the access procedure in Driver notes. Book storage directly with the provider. If belongings stay there between moving dates, book each moving leg separately.

Can I choose a collection time to fit my student move?

Yes. After choosing your moving date, set the collection window in the quote and narrow it if needed. The price updates with your choice. This is the van’s arrival window at collection. Allow for loading and travel to the hall; ask support only if you need confirmation of a strict destination arrival appointment.
