Your van and driver in Newcastle upon Tyne

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.

The whole of “Lifting, stairs and awkward things”

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.

About Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne at a glance

Across NE3, NE5, NE6 and NE4, most requests are for short hops between flats and houses, with clear runs to the local station for meet-and-greets or key handovers at Newcastle station 2.3 miles from the centre when timing and access line up. Daily errands often mix a pick-up from the shops with a drop at home or storage: Kenton Park Shopping Centre 0.2 miles is handy for quick flat-pack collections, while Mallowburn Crescent Shopping Parade 1.1 miles and Kingston Park Retail Park 1.3 miles suit larger furniture that needs careful loading and secure strapping. Student life shapes many moves too, with term-time clear-outs and relocations between shared homes, halls and teaching sites such as Newcastle University 1.6 miles, the Campus for Ageing and Vitality 1.4 miles and the Ellison Building A Block 2 miles. When space runs short, loads go into nearby units including Safe Store 2.4 miles, SecureStore 3 miles, Armadillo Newcastle 3.2 miles and Simple Storage Solutions 4.1 miles, and the same runs in reverse when it is time to refurnish. Single items such as a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine are shuttled across postcodes as plans and deliveries change, and flat moves within the town itself are arranged to suit building access and lift use. Tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter head to Brunswick Recycling Centre 3.2 miles, often paired with a same-day collection from storage or a stop at a retail park. People here also book vans for house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby, but within the city the focus is on reliable handling of keys, stairwells and parking, plus tidy routing between NE3, NE5, NE6 and NE4 so everything arrives together and on time.

Newcastle upon Tyne had 286,472 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Kenton Park Shopping Centre, Mallowburn Crescent Shopping Parade and Kingston Park Retail Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Brunswick Recycling Centre, 3.2 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
