Get a same-day courier quote
Send us the postcodes and what you are moving, and we will come back quickly with a fixed courier quote agreed before any van is sent.
Once you send the form, the booking desk checks the route, chooses the right vehicle for your goods and comes back to you with a fixed price and an estimated collection time, based on where the nearest suitable van is. Nothing is booked until you accept. If anything in your request is unclear, such as the size of a large item or access at the delivery address, we will contact you to check rather than guess. Once you confirm, the van is dispatched and you receive updates until the signed proof of delivery comes through.
What affects the price
Your price depends mainly on the distance, the size of van your goods need and how soon the job must run. Waiting time, extras such as a tail lift, and charges on the route also count, and all of them are built into the fixed price we agree with you before collection.
- Distance and route: the mileage from collection to delivery, and the return trip the van makes afterwards.
- Vehicle: the smallest van that carries your goods safely; see our van size guide.
- Timing: how soon the job must happen and the time of day it runs.
- Waiting: time beyond the loading allowance in your quote.
- Extras: a tail lift, additional drops, wait and return, or a refrigerated van.
- Charges on the route: the London Congestion Charge, ULEZ, Clean Air Zones, tolls or ferries, included in your quote where they apply.

FAQ
Common questions
How quickly will I get my quote?
The booking desk works 24 hours a day, so quote requests are picked up at any hour, including weekends and bank holidays. Most straightforward requests are answered quickly. If something needs checking, such as an unusual load or a route into Europe, we will contact you to ask rather than guess. For a job that has to move right now, phoning is the fastest way to get a price.
Is the quote a fixed price or an estimate?
It is a fixed price for the job as described. It covers the vehicle, the distance, the timing and any extras you asked for, and charges such as the London Congestion Charge or tolls are included where they apply. The price changes only if the job changes, and we agree any change with you before it applies.
What happens if my goods are different from what I described?
The driver checks the goods against the booking at collection. If they are larger, heavier or more numerous than described, the driver calls us before loading. We then give you the options, such as a bigger van or a split load, with the revised price, and nothing moves until you agree. Accurate measurements at the quote stage avoid this.
Do I have to book once I have a quote?
No. A quote carries no obligation. Prices depend on vehicle availability and timing, so a quote for a job today is based on the situation at that moment. If you come back later, or want to change the timing, we will check the price again before confirming the booking.
