Your van and driver in Derby

How it works, what it costs and who turns up.

01

What a van and driver is

A van, a driver, a fixed price – and no bidding.

A van and driver is the middle ground between hiring a van yourself and booking a removals firm.

The whole of “What a van and driver is”

02

Van and driver versus man and van

Same idea, better promise.

"Man and van" is what people search for; it usually means one person with their own van, quoted on the phone, paid in cash, and you hope they turn up.

The whole of “Van and driver versus man and van”

03

What fits in each van

We measure in wheelie bins. One bin's worth is about eight bin bags.

Picture a wheelie bin. One bin's worth is a few boxes and bags. Two is a fridge or a washing machine with room to spare. Four is a room.

The whole of “What fits in each van”

04

How the price works

Fixed prices, the same everywhere.

A move's price depends on how much is moving, not where you live. A wheelie bin's worth is £69 anywhere in England; a full load is £349 in Salisbury, Sheffield or Southend.

The whole of “How the price works”

05

Who turns up

Checked, insured, rated – and paid properly.

Every driver is an independent partner who has shown us their licence, their hire-and-reward insurance, goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and their right to work, before they're offered a single job.

The whole of “Who turns up”

06

Lifting, stairs and awkward things

Two people when the job needs them, at no extra cost.

We decide from what you're moving: a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up gets two people, and that's already in the price. There's nothing to choose and nothing extra to pay.

07

Booking, changing and cancelling

Two minutes to book. Change it yourself up to 48 hours before.

Book online for today (until 3pm; after that, tomorrow from 1pm) or any day up to about six months ahead, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

About Derby

Derby at a glance

A large city with DE21, DE24, DE23, DE22 and DE1 postcodes and a 2021 Census population of 275561, it is unusually well set up for moving: Derby station sits just 0.3 miles from the centre, Southgate Retail Park and Bradshaw Way Retail Park are 0.5 miles, Derbion is 0.6 miles, and a cluster of self storage sites including Store First at 0.6 miles, Secure Vaults at 0.7 miles, Storage King at 0.8 miles and Access Self Storage at 1.1 miles make pickups and drop‑offs straightforward. It serves smaller nearby places such as Breadsall 3 miles away, Quarndon 3.9 miles and Barrow upon Trent 4.1 miles, while regular runs link the city with close towns by road: Borrowash is 6 miles and 14 minutes, Hilton 8.8 miles and 20 minutes, West Hallam 9.4 miles and 21 minutes, Sandiacre 9.4 miles and 17 minutes, Belper 9.5 miles and 26 minutes, Castle Donington 9.7 miles and 19 minutes, Ilkeston 10.1 miles and 23 minutes, Long Eaton 10.8 miles and 20 minutes, Breaston and Draycott 10.9 miles and 21 minutes, and Stapleford 11.2 miles and 20 minutes. Student life is close to hand at Derby Law School and Agard Court, both 1.1 miles from the centre, and the Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering (University of Derby) at 1.2 miles, so start‑ and end‑of‑term moves are common. Typical jobs include house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby, flat moves within the town itself, single items such as a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine, and flat‑pack and furniture collected from the retail parks. Loads into and out of self storage are frequent, and tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter head for Ilkeston Household Waste Recycling Centre 7.6 miles from the centre.

Derby had 275,561 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Southgate Retail Park, Bradshaw Way Retail Park and Derbion is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Ilkeston Household Waste Recycling Centre, 7.6 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
