Your van and driver in Billingshurst
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
08
Same day? Yes, until 3pm.
Today, if you book by 3pm.
Book before 3pm and you can pick today: the earliest one-hour arrival is the hour after next (book at 10:20 and it's 12 to 1), if a partner's free. After 3pm, the earliest is 1pm tomorrow.
About Billingshurst
Billingshurst at a glance
Billingshurst sits right on the RH14 postcode, with its own railway station just a tenth of a mile from the centre and the Jengers Mead retail park a short walk beyond that. It's a compact West Sussex village-turned-town, within easy reach of Southwater and Broadbridge Heath, and close enough to Horsham for bigger recycling and storage needs, including the Hop Oast centre off Worthing Road. Van & Driver is coming soon to Billingshurst, bringing together van with driver and man with a van services under one fixed-price marketplace. Once live, the plan is to connect local partner drivers with people who need a hand moving house, delivering furniture, clearing out belongings for a tip run, or getting a next-day van sorted without the usual back and forth over cost. Whether it's a single item heading to Southwater or Storrington, a full house removal, or a student move in and out of town, the aim is to make booking straightforward and the price clear from the outset. Billingshurst's position close to Horsham and Cranleigh also means storage moves and commercial courier work can be handled by drivers who know the local roads and the wider area well. Keep an eye on this page, as Billingshurst will be added to the marketplace shortly, with services covering everything from small furniture deliveries to full house removals and storage runs.
Billingshurst had 9,121 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Jengers Mead is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Horsham (Hop Oast) Recycling Centre, 5.1 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
