Your van and driver in Tiverton
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 Tiverton
Tiverton at a glance
Tiverton, tucked in Devon's EX16 postcode area a few miles from Cullompton, is set to get van with driver and man and van cover through Van & Driver, though the service isn't live in the town just yet. Once it launches, the plan is for local partner drivers to handle bookings at a fixed price, covering everything from a single sofa or a full house removal to student moves, furniture delivery and tip runs to licensed recycling centres. Fixed pricing means no surprises: a straightforward move within Tiverton itself is set at a flat rate, while trips out to Cullompton, Crediton or Wellington carry their own set prices depending on how much you're moving, whether that's a single item, a half van load or a full van. The idea is to make booking simple for anyone in the town who needs help shifting belongings, whether that's a small delivery from a local sale or a complete house move. We'll update this page as soon as a partner driver starts covering Tiverton, so check back if you're planning a move in the area. In the meantime, you can see how the fixed prices work for trips around Tiverton and to nearby towns, and get a sense of the range of services on offer once cover begins.
Tiverton had 19,710 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Ashley Recycling Centre, 1.9 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
