Your van and driver in Hindhead
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 Hindhead
Hindhead at a glance
Hindhead sits at the high point of the old A3 crossing, within the GU26 postcode area on the Surrey and Hampshire border, close to Haslemere just over two miles away and Liphook a little further on. It's this position, tucked among heathland and cut off from the sprawl of bigger towns, that makes moving house or shifting a few large items here a slightly different move to booking a van in a city postcode. Van & Driver works as a marketplace for exactly this kind of trip: you book a van with a driver at a fixed price, and the move itself is carried out by a partner operator rather than by us directly.
Whether you need a single sofa taken from a flat near the centre of Hindhead over to Haslemere, a full house removal out towards Liphook or Bordon, or a van for a tip run to a licensed recycling centre, the same fixed-price approach applies before you commit to anything. The service covers the everyday range of moves people in a small Surrey town tend to need — man-with-a-van work, furniture delivery, student moves in and out of term-time addresses, storage runs and next-day requests — all set out clearly on this page so you know what you're booking before a driver is arranged.
Hindhead had 6,444 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Bordon Household Waste Recycling Centre, 5.3 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
