Your van and driver in St Albans

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.

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 St Albans

St Albans at a glance

St Albans, spread across the AL1, AL3 and AL4 postcode districts, sits close to Chiswell Green and London Colney, both under three miles from the centre, with Hatfield a little further out towards Harpenden. It's the kind of place where a house move or a student clear-out often means navigating permit parking near the centre, a narrow run down to St Albans City station, or a trip out to the recycling centre on the edge of town — journeys that need a van and someone who knows how to load it properly, not just a car boot.

Van & Driver is bringing its fixed-price van and driver service to St Albans soon, covering the sort of moves people here actually need: house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day van hire, storage moves, student removals, marketplace collections and commercial courier work. Rather than haggling over a move on the phone, the idea is that you'll see the price for the route you need — whether that's a single item across town or a full van load out to Chiswell Green, London Colney or further towards Hatfield — before anything is arranged. Once the service goes live, local partner drivers will handle the work, but for now this page is here so that residents of St Albans, and those just over the border in places like Harpenden and Redbourn, know what's coming and can plan around it.

St Albans had 75,544 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Christopher Place, The Albert Bygrave Retail Park and Colney Fields Shopping Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is St Albans Household Recycling Centre, 1.0 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
