Your van and driver in Chorleywood
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 Chorleywood
Chorleywood at a glance
Chorleywood sits within the WD3 postcode area, spread across a large expanse of common land that splits the town into distinct pockets, with Rickmansworth just two miles to the south and Little Chalfont a similar distance to the north-west. Van & Driver is preparing to launch here, bringing together a marketplace where customers will be able to book a van with a driver at a fixed price, with local partner drivers carrying out the moves. Once live, the service will cover the sort of moves people in a town like this need: house removals for those relocating between Chorleywood and neighbouring places such as Rickmansworth or Moor Park, furniture delivery, tip runs, and next-day van hire. Students moving in or out of accommodation, small businesses needing a commercial courier, and anyone shifting items into storage will also be able to use the platform. Fixed prices are already set for local routes, including trips within Chorleywood itself and journeys out to Rickmansworth, Little Chalfont and Moor Park, so customers will know the cost before they commit. While the town isn't yet covered by a partner driver, this page will become the place to arrange van hire with a driver, or a straightforward man and van, once Van & Driver opens for bookings in Chorleywood.
Chorleywood had 12,632 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from The Harlequin is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Rickmansworth Household Waste Recycling Centre, 2.0 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
