Student removals in St Albans: a room's worth
How it works round here.
St Albans, Hertfordshire • Student Removals
St Albans city centre runs on permit parking, with residents’ bays starting just a few streets from St Albans City station, itself barely a third of a mile from the middle of town.
That’s worth knowing if you’re moving a student’s belongings across the AL1, AL3 or AL4 postcode districts, where narrow terraced roads and tight parking restrictions make a full-size removal lorry more trouble than it’s worth. Van & Driver is designed for exactly this kind of move: boxes, a desk and chair, a bike, and whatever else fits into a single room, carried by hand and driven the short distance between a halls of residence and a new flat, or out towards the University of Hertfordshire near Hatfield, around 3.8 miles from the city centre.
Van & Driver is not yet taking bookings in St Albans, but the service is on its way. Once it launches, the plan will stay the same as elsewhere: a fixed price agreed in advance, a van sized to the job rather than a job squeezed to fit the van, and help carrying items up stairs or down narrow hallways. For students moving in or out of St Albans, whether across town, out to Chiswell Green or London Colney, or further towards Hatfield, that means no haggling and no surprises on the day, just a straightforward way to get a room’s worth of belongings from one address to the next.
