Courier Prices see the price, then book
Starting prices for every vehicle we run, with typical load space and payload, so you can choose the right size before you ask for an exact price.
Prices by vehicle

Dimensions are internal and approximate; width between the wheel arches is less. Any single item over 25 kg needs a two-person crew (+£30 or 25–30% of the job price, whichever is greater), or you provide the second person. Loads too big for a Luton go on a 7.5 t or HGV through our licensed haulage partners, quoted per job.
Same Day Delivery Prices – Clear, No Surprises
What does a same day delivery cost?
A fixed charge for the first 10 miles, then a rate per mile by vehicle, all plus VAT:
- Car or small van: £40, then £1.30 a mile
- Medium or large van: £60, then £1.70 a mile
- Luton with tail-lift: £60, then £1.80 a mile
So London to Birmingham (about 120 miles) is around £183 in a small van or £247 in a large van; London to Manchester (about 200 miles) around £287 or £383. Mileage is the driving distance from collection to delivery.
What is not in the price, and what never is
Never added: out-of-hours, weekend, bank holiday or fuel surcharges. The rate at 3am on a Sunday is the rate at 10am on a Tuesday. All our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, so there is no ULEZ charge.
At cost, on one-off jobs: the London Congestion Charge (£18 a day, set by TfL), the Dartford Crossing, the M6 Toll and any other road toll. Account customers on regular routes get an all-inclusive price.
Only if it happens: waiting beyond 20 free minutes at each end (35p–43p a minute by vehicle); a two-person crew for any single item over 25 kg (+£30 or 25–30% of the job, whichever is greater); cancellation after booking (10% more than an hour before collection, 30% inside the hour, 60% once the driver has arrived).
