Brighton and Hove at a glance
Across BN1, BN2 and BN3, streets close to the centre of Brighton and Hove rely heavily on permit parking, which makes loading a van on moving day trickier than in most towns of this size. With a population of around 277,000 spread from the seafront up towards Moulsecoomb and Falmer, the city produces a steady flow of house moves, student clear-outs and furniture deliveries, particularly around the University of Brighton's Moulesecoomb and Falmer campuses and the halls near London Road. Local storage firms such as StorageMart and Harman Storage on The Hyde, along with Big Yellow on Coombe Road, are often part of that picture when people are moving between flats or clearing space before a tip run to a licensed recycling centre.
Van & Driver is coming to Brighton and Hove soon. Once live, the plan is to connect people here with local partner drivers for a fixed-price van and driver, covering everything from a single item collected near Pavilion Retail Park to a full house removal. Trips are also priced for journeys out to nearby towns, including Lewes, Southwick and Peacehaven, all within a few miles of the centre, so a move out of the city will carry a clear, set price rather than an open-ended estimate. For now, this page is here to explain what will be on offer, from man-with-a-van moves and student removals to storage moves and commercial courier work, once the service launches locally.
