Your van and driver in Portishead

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 Portishead

Portishead at a glance

Postishead's BS20 postcode covers a town where much of the parking near the centre is permit-only, from the streets close to Wyndham Way Retail Park through to the Marina South Car Park, which makes fitting a removal or delivery around the restrictions worth planning for. Van & Driver is preparing to launch a van with driver and man and van service here, covering moves across the town and out to neighbouring Nailsea, around 3.6 miles away, along with Clevedon and Long Ashton further along the coast and inland. Once live, the service will offer a fixed-price way to book a van with a driver for house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day moves, storage runs and student removals, without the uncertainty of negotiating a move on the day. For anyone clearing space before a move, Black Rock Quarry Recycling Centre on Valley Road sits about 1.3 miles from the centre, though its rules on van-sized loads aren't yet confirmed, so it's worth checking ahead if a tip run is part of the plan. Portishead's position on the edge of North Somerset, a short hop from Bristol's western suburbs and within easy reach of Avonmouth's storage and transport links, means removals in and out of town often involve a mix of local streets and longer runs. Van & Driver aims to bring together the practical side of moving in Portishead, from tight parking near the harbour to trips out towards Nailsea and Clevedon, under one straightforward booking process once the service goes live.

Portishead had 26,351 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Wyndham Way Retail Park and Crown Glass Shopping Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Black Rock Quarry Recycling Centre, 1.3 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
