Your van and driver in Potters Bar
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 Potters Bar
Potters Bar at a glance
Potters Bar sits right on the EN6 postcode boundary, just a few minutes from its own station on Darkes Lane, which makes it an easy town to reach whether you're moving a single item across town or bringing a full load in from further out. Van & Driver is opening soon in Potters Bar, covering everything from van with driver bookings to man and van moves for house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs and student moves. The town's position in Hertfordshire puts it within easy reach of Borehamwood, Hatfield and London Colney, all a short drive away, and once local partner drivers are on board, these routes will be covered alongside local moves within Potters Bar itself. For those needing to clear space rather than move house, there are storage options such as TRUX Storage & Removals on Sopers Road for anyone between homes. When the service goes live, customers will be able to book a van with a driver at a fixed price for any of these moves, with local partners handling the work on the ground. In the meantime, this page will be kept up to date as coverage in Potters Bar and the surrounding Hertfordshire towns is confirmed.
Potters Bar had 23,394 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from The Spires Shopping Centre, Colney Fields Shopping Park and Borehamwood Shopping Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Potters Bar Household Waste Recycling Centre, 1.1 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
