Your van and driver in Gerrards Cross
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 Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross at a glance
Gerrards Cross sits within the SL9 postcode, with its own railway station just half a mile from the centre and Denham Golf Club station a short hop beyond at 1.6 miles, making this a well-connected corner of Buckinghamshire close to Chalfont St Peter. Van & Driver is preparing to launch here, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for people moving house, clearing furniture, running items to the tip, or needing a next-day collection. Once live, the marketplace will let customers in Gerrards Cross book a van and driver at a fixed price, with the move carried out by a local partner rather than a call centre. The plan covers the sort of moves this area needs regularly: student removals timed around term dates, furniture delivery to homes near the village centre, storage moves to nearby facilities, and commercial courier work for local businesses. Journeys to neighbouring places such as Chalfont St Peter and Farnham Common and Farnham Royal are also part of the coverage being built out, reflecting how residents here often need to move goods just a few miles rather than across the county. We're not yet able to take bookings in Gerrards Cross, but the groundwork for fixed-price van and driver services is underway, and this page will be updated as soon as local partner drivers are confirmed and the town goes live on the marketplace.
Gerrards Cross had 8,117 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from The Pavilions and The Chimes is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Beaconsfield Household Waste and Recycling Centre, 2.7 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
