Benson at a glance
Benson sits in the OX10 postcode area, just a mile and a half from Wallingford across the Thames, and Van & Driver is getting ready to launch here. Once live, the marketplace will let people in the town book a van with a driver at a fixed price for moves such as house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs and next-day van work, alongside more traditional man-and-van tasks like moving a single item or clearing a room. Benson's position close to Didcot and Sonning Common, and within reach of Abingdon-on-Thames, makes it a useful base for moves further afield across this part of Oxfordshire, while Oakley Wood Recycling Centre nearby is handy for smaller clear-outs and tip runs. Fixed prices are already set for trips within Benson and out to neighbouring towns, covering everything from a single item to a full van load, so residents will know the cost before anything is booked. At the moment, no local partner drivers cover Benson, so the service isn't yet available to book here — but the groundwork is in place, with routes and pricing ready for when driver coverage begins. Anyone in Benson planning a move, a delivery, or a courier run, whether locally or towards Didcot, Sonning Common or Chinnor, will be able to check fixed prices and services here once the town goes live.
Benson had 5,236 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Oakley Wood Recycling Centre, 1.8 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
