Complete each step below — you keep 100% of every booking's balance because customers pay you directly on the day by card or cash — no weekly payouts, no waiting.
You register as a self-employed contractor — not as a VanManoo employee. You are responsible for your own tax, National Insurance, VAT (if applicable), and keeping your driving licence, MOT, insurance and Public Liability Insurance up to date.
You must have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom. This is a legal requirement under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. You will need to upload a valid Right to Work document — for example a UK passport, a Share Code with a Home Office reference, or a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP). Applications submitted without proof of Right to Work will be rejected.
Customers who use Get a Quote see your live price and pick you directly. The booking lands in your dashboard — one tap to accept and the job is yours.
When a customer uses Post a Job, every eligible driver sees it. Send your quote to the customer — they choose the offer that fits their budget and book you.
Your Price · Under 6 Min requests ping nearby drivers like a taxi ride. Respond fast — first driver to accept wins the job. Same-day only, not next day.
Go online in your dashboard. A customer taps Van Now and the nearest online driver gets 20 seconds to accept — your phone rings & vibrates. Accept, drive, done. The customer's booking fee is charged the moment you accept.
Sign up in 30 seconds — we'll email you a login.
You must watch every video to the last second before you can bid on jobs or go live. Skipping ahead won't count.
