Tips for moving in Coventry
- Several streets around the city centre and Earlsdon have residents’ permit parking, and the centre itself has loading restrictions. Check the signs on your street and tell us where the van can stop safely.
- The city centre has many apartment blocks and purpose-built student buildings with booked lifts, set move-in slots and loading bays. Confirm access arrangements with the building before moving day.
- Coventry University is in the city centre and the University of Warwick is on the southern edge of the city near Canley, so student moves peak at the start and end of the academic year. Book early around those dates.
- The ring road has short slip roads and closely spaced junctions, and it gets busy at peak times. Allow extra time for moves that start or finish just inside or outside it.
