People typically book vans here for house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby, single items such as a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine, tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter to the recycling centre, flat-pack and furniture collected from the retail parks, student moves at the start and end of term and loads into and out of self storage. For anyone moving to, from or around Fleet and its surrounding villages, the short routes to the towns listed above and the spread of retail and storage sites make planning collections and deliveries simple.
Fleet sits between two GU postcode districts, GU51 and GU52, with the Hart Shopping Centre just off Fleet Road, a short hop from the town centre. It's the kind of place where a lot of moving happens locally rather than across the county: over to Farnborough, out to Weybourne, or across to Aldershot, all within a few miles. Van & Driver works here as a marketplace for van with driver and man and van moves, covering house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day van bookings, storage moves, student removals, marketplace delivery and commercial courier work, all at a fixed price agreed before you book. Whether you're clearing a flat near Fleet station, shifting a sofa to Shurgard Self-Storage on Hawley Lane, or moving a student's belongings in and out of a house share ahead of term at the University for the Creative Arts in nearby Farnham, the price is set upfront so there's no guesswork involved. Fleet's spread of retail parks, storage sites and recycling centres, from Solartron Retail Park to the recycling centre out at Hartley Wintney, means plenty of reasons for a van to be needed on any given day, and Van & Driver is built to match that demand with a driver and a fixed quote rather than a vague estimate. You can book a van with a driver in Fleet today, whatever the move involves.
Fleet had 37,800 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Hart Shopping Centre, Solartron Retail Park and Princes Mead is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Rushmoor Borough Council Recycling and Waste Transfer Station, 3.1 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
