Your van and driver in Worthing
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 Worthing
Worthing at a glance
Worthing sits between two working railway stations of its own, West Worthing and Durrington-on-Sea, both under a mile from the centre, with the main Worthing station a short hop further out — useful to know if a move involves timing a pickup around trains. The town spans the BN11 to BN14 postcode districts and is within a few miles of Lancing and Sompting, Rustington and Steyning, making it a natural base for moves that spill out beyond the town boundary. Van & Driver is coming soon to Worthing, bringing a straightforward way to book a van with a driver at a fixed price for moves across the area, from a single item collected locally to a full van load moved house to house. Once live, the service will cover the kind of everyday tasks that keep a seaside town moving: house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, student moves at the start and end of term, and storage runs to the self storage sites dotted around Worthing, including those further out along Littlehampton Road and near the Coopers Industrial Estate. Next-day van hire and commercial courier work will also be part of the offering, alongside marketplace deliveries for anyone buying or selling furniture locally. Fixed prices will apply whether the trip stays within Worthing itself or heads out towards neighbouring Lancing and Sompting, Rustington or Steyning, so the cost is known before the van sets off.
Worthing had 111,635 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from The Guildbourne Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Worthing Recycling Centre, 2.2 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
