Horley at a glance
Horley sits in the RH6 postcode area of Surrey, with Gatwick Airport barely a mile from the town centre and its own railway station just off Victoria Road. That proximity to one of the country's busiest airports shapes plenty of moving needs here, from staff relocating for work to residents shifting house near the flight paths. Van & Driver is opening soon in Horley, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for people who need help getting items from one place to another without the hassle of hiring and driving a van themselves.
Once live, the service will cover the sorts of moves that come up regularly in a town like this: house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, student removals, and next-day van bookings. Storage moves will also be part of the offering, useful given the nearby self-storage sites around Redhill and further towards Crawley. Horley's location means many moves naturally extend beyond the town itself towards Redhill, Crawley or Reigate, and the fixed-price model is designed to make that straightforward, with the cost agreed upfront regardless of traffic or how long the move takes on the day. Marketplace delivery and commercial courier work will also be available for local businesses.
At present, Horley does not yet have partner drivers signed up, so bookings are not yet possible. Once the marketplace launches here, customers will be able to arrange a van with driver for moves across Horley and into neighbouring towns such as Redhill and Crawley.
Horley had 27,067 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from County Oak Retail Park, County Mall and Belfry Shopping Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Crawley Household Waste Recycling Site, 3.2 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
