Your van and driver in Harrogate

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.

Good to know.

About Harrogate

Harrogate at a glance

With HG1 and HG2 postcodes and a 2021 population of 75522, this North Yorkshire town is easy to move around thanks to Harrogate station just 0.2 miles from the centre, and most local jobs link it with nearby towns by short road hops. Knaresborough is 4.3 miles away in 16 minutes, Wetherby is 10 miles in 25 minutes, Otley 11.1 miles in 26 minutes, and Ripon 12.6 miles in 27 minutes, while Boston Spa at 12.9 miles takes 31 minutes, Menston 13.7 miles in 34 minutes, Yeadon 13.9 miles in 33 minutes, Guiseley 14 miles in 34 minutes, Rawdon 14.1 miles in 34 minutes, and Burley in Wharfedale 14.3 miles in 34 minutes, so house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby are straightforward.

Tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter to Ripon Household Waste Recycling Centre 9.6 miles from the centre keep clear‑outs simple.

Harrogate had 75,522 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Victoria Shopping Centre and St James Retail Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Ripon Household Waste Recycling Centre, 9.6 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
