Gloucester at a glance
Gloucester's GL1 postcode wraps around the Cathedral quarter, just a few streets from Gloucester station and within half a mile of Shurgard Self-Storage on Metz Way, making the city a natural hub for removals and deliveries across GL1, GL4 and GL2. Van & Driver is opening soon in Gloucester, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for the city and its surrounding towns, including Churchdown and Brockworth, both under three miles away.
Once live, the service will cover the full range of moving needs: house removals, student removals around the University of Gloucestershire's City and Oxtalls campuses, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day van bookings, storage moves, marketplace delivery and commercial courier work. Prices will be fixed in advance, so customers know the full cost of a single item, half-van or full-van load before the move begins, whether the trip stays within Gloucester or heads out to Quedgeley and Hardwicke or further afield towards Cheltenham and Stroud. Local partner drivers will handle the practical side, from navigating permit parking near the city centre to tackling recycling runs out towards Hempsted.
Anyone planning a move from a Gloucester flat, a delivery to King's Walk or The Eastgate, or a collection from Saint Oswald's Retail Park will be able to arrange it through Van & Driver once the marketplace launches in the town, with the same straightforward approach to booking a van and driver that the service offers elsewhere.
Gloucester had 118,562 people at the 2021 Census. The nearest hospital is Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, 0.9 miles away. Furniture and flat-pack from The Eastgate, King's Walk and Saint Oswald's Retail Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Hempsted Household Recycling Centre, 2.2 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
