Your van and driver in Taunton

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.

The whole of “Lifting, stairs and awkward things”

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 Taunton

Taunton at a glance

Taunton's town centre sits within easy reach of Musgrove Park Hospital and the cluster of shopping centres around Crown Walk, County Walk and Orchard Shopping Centre, all barely a third of a mile from the middle of town, which makes the TA1 and TA2 postcode districts a busy patch for anyone needing to move items across the county town of Somerset. Van & Driver is preparing to launch its van with driver and man and van service here, covering everything from single-item collections to full house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs and storage moves in and around the town. Once live, the same fixed-price approach will apply whether you're shifting a sofa a few streets from Station Approach or arranging a next-day van for a student move, with clear costs set out for local moves as well as trips out to nearby Wellington, Bridgwater and Ilminster. Storage users at Beehive Self Storage or the UK Storage Company on Courtlands Industrial Estate, and anyone clearing out ahead of a recycling centre run, will find the same straightforward booking process once partner drivers are confirmed for the area. For now, the page sets out what's coming: a fixed-price marketplace connecting Taunton residents and businesses with local partner drivers for removals, deliveries, courier work and everything in between, sized to the town's population of over 61,000 and its position as a hub for the surrounding Somerset towns. Details of coverage and confirmed partners will follow as the service prepares to go live in Taunton.

Taunton had 61,667 people at the 2021 Census. The nearest hospital is Musgrove Park Hospital, 1.0 miles away. Furniture and flat-pack from Crown Walk, County Walk Shopping Centre and Orchard Shopping Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Taunton Recycling Centre, 1.2 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
