Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Hire packages
All packages include driver, fuel, insurance, and a small van (SWB, LWB, Luton and 2-man teams available — priced on enquiry).
Day Hire
from £280
8-hour day with a dedicated driver and small van. Multi-drop, multi-pickup, no per-mile counting. Ideal for site days, event load-ins, store rollouts.
Week Hire
from £1,250
5 consecutive working days, same driver, same van. Treated as part of your team for the week. Discounted weekly rate vs. day-by-day.
Month Hire
from £4,800
20+ working days. Effectively your second van without the lease, insurance, MOT or fleet admin. Branded magnetic signage available.
Prices are indicative. No VAT is currently charged by Taylors Courier Service Ltd. The final rate depends on vehicle size, driver positioning and project duration.
When dedicated hire makes sense
For regular work, a dedicated contract can provide clearer capacity and pricing than arranging every movement separately. We compare the options when scoping the requirement.
Production lines waiting on parts
Daily milk-runs between supplier and factory. Predictable cost, predictable arrival.
Multi-site retailers
One driver running a circuit between stores or stockrooms — replenishment, returns, fixture moves.
Construction project days
A dedicated van on-site for tool, material and same-day plant movements during a build.
Event load-in / load-out
Conference and exhibition setups where one van shuttles for the full build period.
Trade counter overflow
When your own driver is on holiday or your second van is in for service.
Office moves & rollouts
Phased moves run over multiple days rather than a single chaotic weekend.
Outsourced fleet, without the overhead
Adding a van to your own fleet looks cheap on paper until you cost it properly: vehicle finance, business insurance, MOT and service, tyres, fuel cards, driver salary, employer's NI, holiday pay, sick cover, livery, telematics, downtime when the van is in the workshop. A realistic loaded cost for one in-house van and one PAYE driver in the UK sits north of £60,000 a year — before the first parcel moves.
Dedicated driver hire replaces all of it with one number. You book the days you need, scale up for peak weeks, scale down in quiet ones, and we absorb every fixed cost on our side. The same driver and the same vehicle every day, treated as part of your team — wearing your hi-vis if you want, parked on your yard, working to your delivery schedule.
Drivers, not riders
Contract work is fulfilled by self-employed subcontractors selected for the vehicle, route and site requirements. Identity, driving entitlement, insurance and any contract-specific requirements are checked as applicable. If a site requires a DBS check, induction, PPE or another credential, tell us during scoping so availability can be confirmed before the work begins.
How to scope a contract
The fastest way is a 15-minute phone call. We'll ask about your routes, your typical day, your peak windows, vehicle size, and whether you need branded signage or a uniform. From that we can usually quote a fixed weekly or monthly rate inside the same day, and have a driver on-site within a week.
