Review on Vanr.co

The website vanr.co.uk presents a logistics and delivery service called VANR Ltd, positioning itself as a “live” delivery platform that connects businesses and consumers with self‐employed van drivers. According to the site, VANR has over 100 drivers ready to perform local and nationwide deliveries—from small packages to large items or home moves. 

The home page describes their offering: “Whether you are moving home or buying a desired item online, Vanr is here to instantly fulfil all your delivery needs!”  Their “For Business” section promises features like DBS-checked drivers, goods-in-transit insurance, instant quotes, payment by card, real-time tracking and multi-drop options. 

Company registration data shows VANR Ltd is a UK‐based private limited company, incorporated in November 2015, with registered address at 78 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4RH. 

There are numerous online reviews—particularly from the perspective of drivers/contractors—on platforms like Trustpilot and Indeed. For example, on Trustpilot the company has a score of about 4.6 stars from some 200+ reviews (though noting a caveat about review collection). 

In short: the website conveys a legitimate, fully functioning logistics/delivery service with a clear business model, public registration, and testimonials. The rest of this review explores whether its claims appear trustworthy, and whether there are any red flags.

More Details

Based on the evidence gathered, the site vanr.co.uk appears to be legitimate – it is not obviously a scam or fraudulent site. Here's a detailed breakdown of why I conclude that:

1. Corporate registration
   The organisation behind the site, VANR Ltd (company number 09880581), is registered in the UK, active status, with registered address and incorporation date (Nov 2015). This signals that the business is legally established. 

2. Clear service offering and consistency
   The website clearly describes the business: a delivery service matching self-employed van drivers with customers requiring items shipped. The for-business page elaborates logical features (timed deliveries, DBS checks, insurance, tracking).  The presence of both consumer and business segments suggests the business model is thought out and consistent.

3. User/driver reviews
   Multiple review platforms show real people giving feedback about the service. On Trustpilot, there is an “Excellent” rating (4.6 stars) from ~200 reviews.  On Indeed, there is more mixed/negative feedback from workers (which is common in gig/contractor businesses) but the fact that there is significant feedback suggests the business is active.

4. Public presence
   The company appears on LinkedIn, Facebook, etc., establishing a visible digital footprint. 

5. Service actualisation
   If reviews from contractors reflect ongoing operations (drivers actively working for the company), this strongly supports the notion that the service is functioning in the real world (not just a shell website).

Caveats and context

• “Legitimate” does not mean the service is perfect or flawless. Some negative feedback indicates real risks or pain‐points (especially for drivers).

• As a customer using their service, you should still ensure your shipment is covered by adequate insurance, tracking is functioning, delivery times are confirmed, and you receive contractual clarity.

• For users outside the UK or for international deliveries, the website doesn’t emphasise global coverage, so one must clarify location/region and any extra costs.

• Because reviews may be influenced (per Trustpilot’s note), it’s wise to treat the positive review numbers as indicative but not automatically trustworthy without your own due diligence.

In summary: yes — the site is real, operating, and appears to deliver as described, but like any logistics service, the level of service will depend on the driver, vehicle, contract, region and specific job. Users (both customers and drivers) should approach it with realistic expectations and standard precautions.
