Man with a van in St Albans: what it costs
How it works round here.
St Albans, Hertfordshire • Man and Van
Streets near St Albans City station rely on permit parking, which is why a van that turns up, loads and leaves within the hour matters more here than in most towns.
Van & Driver is preparing to launch a Man with a Van service for St Albans, covering the AL1, AL3 and AL4 postcode districts and nearby places such as Chiswell Green and London Colney. Once live, the service will cover sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, and garden or DIY items, with one or two people handling the loading and unloading, blankets and straps included, and a fixed price agreed before the job starts.
St Albans has the mix of terraced streets close to the centre and larger houses further out that tends to call for different jobs at short notice, from a single wardrobe moved across town to a fuller house move out towards Harpenden or Hatfield. With Christopher Place and The Albert Bygrave Retail Park close by, and the recycling centre a mile from the centre, there's often a need to shift more than one item in a single trip. Van & Driver is setting up cover in St Albans so that, when the service goes live, local jobs like these can be booked at a fixed price rather than negotiated on the day. In the meantime, this page will be updated as soon as a partner driver is confirmed for the area.

Do you do man with a van hire by the hour in St Albans?+

Will two people come?+
When the job needs them (a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up) two people come, and that's already in the price. We decide it from what you're moving; there's nothing to choose or pay extra for.
Is the price fixed?+
Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.
