Driving a van in Leicester

A city-scale patchwork of LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4 and LE5 makes this a busy place to work a van, with Leicester station just 0.7 miles from the centre and Freemen's Common Recycling Centre only 0.9 miles away for swift tip runs between jobs. Drivers here cover a tight ring of nearby towns by road: Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe are 3.7 miles away in 13 minutes, Birstall is 3.9 miles in 15 minutes, Anstey is 4.4 miles in 15 minutes, Wigston is 4.5 miles in 18 minutes, Thurmaston is 4.6 miles in 17 minutes, Groby is 5 miles in 17 minutes, Enderby and Narborough are 5.1 miles in 18 minutes, Oadby is 5.1 miles in 19 minutes, Blaby and Whetstone are 6.1 miles in 19 minutes, and Syston is 6.6 miles in 22 minutes, which suits fixed-price house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby as well as flat moves within the town itself. The compact centre brings steady single-item requests too, with people booking help for a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine, and tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter to the recycling centre. Retail is on your doorstep for flat-pack and furniture collected from the retail parks at Highcross, Haymarket Centre and St George's Retail Park, and there is constant churn around De Montfort University, the University of Leicester and University of Leicester Central Campus that keeps student moves at the start and end of term straightforward and close. Loads into and out of self storage are frequent thanks to The Space Place 0.5 miles from the centre, Shurgard Self-Storage 0.9 miles, Safestore 1.3 miles and the Mint Safety Deposit Centre 0.8 miles, all within easy reach for quick in-and-out runs. With everything clustered centrally and those towns around the edge a short hop away, Leicester’s layout suits self-employed van drivers who like varied days mixing local flats, campus rooms, retail park collections and regular recycling centre runs.

Good to know.

What drivers ask before they apply.

Am I employed by Van & Driver?+

No. You're self-employed, or you run a company. You choose every job. We send a statement each week you can hand to your accountant.

Can I bring a mate for the big jobs?+

Yes. When a job needs two people the price already covers it, and you keep the same 85%. Bring your own mate, or one of our drivers' mates can join you.

What insurance do I need, exactly?+

Hire and reward insurance for your van, goods in transit and public liability. A company with staff needs employers' liability too, and you need a waste carrier licence for tip runs. Upload them on your phone: we check them once and remind you before they run out. No waste carrier licence? We can sort one for you.

How fast am I paid after a job?+

Every Friday, straight to your bank, for jobs finished by Thursday midnight. No invoices to chase.

What if the customer changes the date?+

We ask you first. If the new time suits you, the job stays yours. If it doesn't, it goes to another driver and nothing counts against you.

Do you cover outside Leicester?+

Yes. You set how far you'll travel from home, and jobs within that distance come to you first. We're taking on drivers in every town we cover.

How do I apply?+

Tap Apply to Van & Driver on vananddriver.co.uk/drive or your town's page, for example /drive/salisbury. It takes a minute: your name and mobile, the code we text you, then the jobs you want and your town. You're in. The rest is a checklist on your phone, in any order: your van (just type the reg), your documents, bank details, when you work, a photo and the agreement. Most drivers finish in ten minutes.
