Exeter at a glance
Within a few hundred yards of Wonford Road's Nuffield Hospital and the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, Exeter's EX1 and EX2 postcode districts sit close to some of the busiest medical and university sites in Devon, with St Luke's Campus just up the road on Heavitree Road. Van & Driver is coming soon to Exeter, bringing a straightforward way to book a van with a driver, or arrange a man and van, for moves across the city and out towards places like Crediton and Exmouth. The plan covers house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day vans, storage moves, student removals, marketplace deliveries and commercial courier work, all at a fixed price agreed before the move starts rather than being worked out on the day. Exeter's mix of hospitals, university campuses and shopping areas such as Princesshay and the Guildhall Shopping Centre means there's a steady need for removals and deliveries that fit around permit parking restrictions and recycling centre rules, including the permit system in place at Exton Road. Students moving in and out of accommodation near the University of Exeter's Streatham Court and Amory Building, along with residents using storage sites like Britannia Lanes and Armadillo Exeter, will be able to turn to local partner drivers once the service goes live. For now, this page sets out what to expect: clear pricing for trips within Exeter and to nearby towns such as Dawlish, and a full range of van and driver services designed to make moving house, clearing space or getting items delivered simpler when the marketplace launches here.
