Your van and driver in Moreton-in-Marsh
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 Moreton-in-Marsh
Moreton-in-Marsh at a glance
Moreton-in-Marsh sits right on the Fosse Way, with its own railway station barely four minutes' walk from the centre and the GL56 postcode wrapped around it, making it one of the more accessible small towns in this stretch of the Cotswolds. Van & Driver is preparing to launch a van with driver and man and van service here, covering everything from house removals and furniture delivery to tip runs and next-day van work, though we're not yet live in the town and can't take bookings just now. Once local partner drivers come on board, customers will be able to arrange fixed-price trips within Moreton itself or out to nearby places such as Shipston-on-Stour, seven miles north, or Chipping Norton, a similar distance to the south. For those needing to dispose of larger items, the Shipston Household Waste Recycling Centre lies within easy reach at under six miles, while Alkerton, further out towards Banbury, operates a permit-and-booking system worth knowing about in advance. The town's position between Evesham and Stratford-upon-Avon means there's plenty of scope for removals and deliveries across a wider area once the service goes live. In the meantime, this page will be updated as soon as partner drivers are confirmed for Moreton-in-Marsh, so do check back for news on coverage and how to get in touch when the marketplace opens here.
Moreton-in-Marsh had 5,015 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Shipston Household Waste Recycling Centre, 5.8 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
