Your van and driver in Braintree

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.
