Your van and driver in Kensington and Chelsea

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.

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.

About Kensington and Chelsea

Kensington and Chelsea at a glance

Within a few streets of each other, the Royal Marsden and Royal Brompton hospitals sit barely 0.3 miles from the centre of Kensington and Chelsea, a borough that also packs in Imperial College London, the Royal College of Music and the Brompton Cross shopping district into a similarly tight radius. That density, spread across postcode areas SW3, SW7, SW10, W8, W10 and W11, means removals and deliveries here often involve short distances but tricky logistics: narrow residential streets, permit parking zones and limited loading space near the retail parks and storage sites on Lots Road and Effie Road. Van & Driver is preparing to launch a van with driver and man and van service for Kensington and Chelsea, covering moves within the borough as well as onward trips to neighbouring City of Westminster, just 1.6 miles away, and Hammersmith and Fulham a little further on. Once live, the marketplace will connect customers with local partner drivers for house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day van moves, storage moves, student removals, marketplace deliveries and commercial courier work, all at a fixed price agreed before the move starts. Whether the move is a short hop between Chelsea and Kensington addresses or a longer trip out towards Wandsworth, the aim is to keep the process simple: one price, one van, one driver, no surprises about mileage or waiting time once the borough is fully covered.

Kensington and Chelsea had 143,348 people at the 2021 Census. The nearest hospital is The Royal Marsden Hospital, 0.3 miles away. Furniture and flat-pack from Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre., Kings Walk Shopping Mall and The Kensington Arcade is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Recycling Centre, 2.0 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
