Your van and driver in Tring
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 Tring
Tring at a glance
Tring sits in the HP23 postcode area of Hertfordshire, with its own railway station about a mile and a half from the centre and open countryside separating it from neighbours like Aston Clinton and Wendover, both just a few miles down the road. Van & Driver is on its way to Tring, bringing a simple way to book a van with a driver at a fixed price for moves ranging from a single item to a full house removal. Once live, the marketplace will connect people here with local partner drivers for man-with-a-van work, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day moves, storage transfers, student removals, marketplace deliveries and commercial courier runs, all set at fixed prices worked out in advance rather than charged by the hour. That matters in a town like Tring, where residents often need to move things not just around the town itself but out towards Aston Clinton, Wendover, Berkhamsted or further into Aylesbury, and where getting a straight answer on cost before a van turns up makes the whole move easier to plan. Households near the recycling centres out towards Aylesbury and Chesham, or those clearing space before a move into local storage, will be able to book the right size of van for the task without haggling over time spent on the road. We'll confirm coverage and booking for Tring as soon as it's ready.
Tring had 11,961 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Aston Clinton Household Recycling Centre, 3.3 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
