Your van and driver in Harpenden

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.

The whole of “What a van and driver is”

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.

The whole of “Van and driver versus man and van”

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.

The whole of “What fits in each van”

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.

The whole of “How the price works”

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.

The whole of “Who turns up”

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.

Booking, changing and cancelling

Two minutes to book. Change it yourself up to 48 hours before.

About Harpenden

Harpenden at a glance

Harpenden's railway station sits barely a tenth of a mile from the town centre, which says something about how compact this AL5 town really is, tucked between Redbourn just over two miles away and the larger centre of St Albans a few miles further south. Van & Driver is preparing to launch here, bringing together customers who need a van with a driver and local partners who can carry out the move at a fixed price agreed before anyone sets off. Until that cover is in place, the town's page is ready with the details people will need: fixed prices for moves within Harpenden itself, and for runs out to Redbourn, St Albans and Hatfield, along with a full list of the services on offer, from house removals and student moves to furniture delivery, tip runs, storage moves and next-day van work.

Students and families relocating may also be looking towards Luton, Hatfield or St Albans, all within a short drive, or towards storage options further afield in Hemel Hempstead. Once cover begins, this page will let Harpenden residents book a van with a driver directly, at the fixed price shown for their route.

Harpenden had 30,964 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Christopher Place and Luton Retail Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Harpenden household waste recycling centre, 0.7 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
