Your van and driver in Lymington
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 Lymington
Lymington at a glance
Lymington's SO41 postcode covers a town where narrow streets and permit parking near the centre mean a removal van often needs to be booked with someone who knows how to load quickly and move on, rather than circle the block looking for a space. Van & Driver is a marketplace for exactly this kind of move: you book a van with a driver at a fixed price for van with driver or man and van work, and the trip itself is carried out by a local partner driver. Whether you're clearing a flat close to Lymington Town station, moving between houses within the town, or heading out to Ashley, New Milton or Barton on Sea, the price is agreed before you book, so there's no meter running and no surprises at the other end. It suits house removals, furniture delivery, student moves at the start or end of term, storage runs to somewhere like Lymington Self Storage on Ampress Lane, and tip runs when a full recycling centre load needs shifting rather than a single item. Next-day van bookings, commercial courier work and marketplace deliveries are covered too, alongside standard man-with-a-van moves for smaller moves. Whatever the size of the move, you can book online now, get a fixed price up front, and have a local driver take it from there.
Lymington had 14,870 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Efford Household Waste Recycling Centre, 1.6 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
