Dedicated Vehicle Courier one van, just for your goods

Book the whole vehicle. Nothing else goes on board, the driver goes where you need, and your goods are the only job on that run, from a car to a tail-lift Luton.

Why book a dedicated vehicle?

Every same day job we run is dedicated: one driver, one job, straight from collection to delivery. This page is for the work where that matters most. High-value stock and prototypes, fragile and oversized items, time-critical parts for a line that has stopped, medical consignments that cannot share a load, and anything that has to travel with a chain of custody.

The vehicle is loaded at your door, stays with the same driver and is opened at the destination. You can follow it live, you know who signed, and the goods are covered by our goods-in-transit insurance of £20,000 per day. Tell us about anything of higher value when you book and we will confirm cover before collection.

Choose the right size of vehicle

Pay for the space you need. A car covers documents, samples and small parcels at £40 + VAT for the first 10 miles then £1.30 a mile; a small van carries up to 869 kg at the same rate. A medium or large van takes pallets, long lengths and bulky loads up to 1,192 kg at £60 then £1.70 a mile. A Luton with tail-lift, hired in for your job, takes up to 6 UK pallets and 1,150 kg at £60 then £1.80 a mile. For 7.5 tonne and HGV loads we quote through our licensed haulage partners.

The fleet table on our prices page shows load space and payload for each vehicle.

Long distance, Europe and two-driver crews

A dedicated van is the fastest way to move goods across the UK. Birmingham is 2½–3 hours from London after collection, Manchester 4–4½, Edinburgh 7½–8½. For Scotland, Belfast and mainland Europe we send a two-driver crew so the van keeps moving within driver-hours rules. Europe and the Republic of Ireland are priced per loaded and empty mile, with the crossing, tolls, customs and any overnight at cost.

Questions about dedicated vehicle courier

Will the driver stop anywhere else on the way?

No. On a dedicated booking the vehicle goes from your collection address to your delivery address, with no other customer goods on board and no stops other than the ones you booked.

Can the driver wait while the goods are loaded?

Yes. The first 20 minutes at collection and at delivery are free. After that, waiting is charged per minute: 35p in a car, 40p in a small van and 43p in a medium or large van, plus VAT.

Can I book a return journey?

Yes. Book the return with the outbound job and the same driver waits or comes back for it, priced on the total mileage. It is the usual way to move samples out and results back, or a part out and the failed unit back.

Can someone travel with the goods?

No. We do not carry passengers; the driver travels alone, or as a two-driver crew on long runs. You can follow the vehicle live instead.
