Your van and driver in Merley

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.

About Merley

Merley at a glance

Merley sits just 1.7 miles from Wimborne Minster, tucked into the BH21 postcode on the edge of Poole, with the Ringwood Road retail parks and a cluster of self-storage sites all within a couple of miles of the centre. It's this mix of homes, storage depots and nearby retail parks that makes van and driver bookings such a regular need here, whether you're clearing out a garage, picking up flat-pack furniture, or shifting boxes into one of the storage units along Nuffield Road or Willis Way in neighbouring Poole. Van & Driver works as a marketplace: you book a van with a driver at a fixed price, and the move is carried out by a local partner. In Merley, that means a fixed-price van with driver, or a man and van for smaller moves, covering everything from house removals and student moves to furniture delivery, tip runs and next-day requests. Prices are set in advance, so a single item, half a van or a full van load costs the same whether you're moving within Merley, over to Wimborne Minster, or across to Corfe Mullen. For slightly further trips, such as into Ferndown, the fixed price adjusts a little to reflect the extra distance. Whatever the size of the move, from a student clearing a room near one of the Bournemouth university campuses to a full house removal, you can book a van with a driver in Merley and have the work handled by someone who knows the local area.

Merley had 5,489 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Turbary Retail Park, Ringwood Road Retail Park and Tower Retail Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Millams Road Household Waste and Recycling Centre, 2.7 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
