Why a dedicated van beats pallet networks to Germany
Where pallet networks add depot days and paperwork risk, one van and one driver stay on the same job from UK collection to Germany delivery.
From a mainland-UK collection point to Germany we ship via eurotunnel or ferry, with legal driver rest scheduled under EU tachograph rules. Typical door-to-door around 4 days depending on destination city. No hub, no reload, no shared trailer.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a UK to Germany courier cost?
Indicative pricing for a dedicated LWB van from mainland UK to Germany starts from £2,050 (Aachen) and moves with destination city. Ferry crossing, EU/road tolls, Umweltplakette green badge, driver overnights and post-Brexit customs admin are already included. Use the calculator above for the live figure against your exact pickup postcode.
How long does UK to Germany take door-to-door?
Roughly 4 days door-to-door for the average Germany destination, using the eurotunnel or ferry and legal EU tachograph rest rules. One named driver, one van — no consolidator handover, so nothing sits in a depot overnight.
Is this actual courier — not sea freight or a pallet network?
Correct. One UK-registered dedicated van, one named driver, straight through to your Germany address. No pallet network, no shared trailer, no shipping-line consolidation.
What paperwork do I need for Germany?
Post-Brexit EU customs (T1 transit, EORI, commercial invoice) — handled by our ops team. For commercial goods we need a commercial invoice, packing list and an EORI number (yours or ours). Personal effects need a signed inventory. Our ops team walks you through the exact format the moment you confirm.
Are ferry, tolls and stickers included in the Germany price?
Yes. Every UK → Germany quote includes eurotunnel or ferry, EU road tolls, Umweltplakette green badge, LEZ zone stickers, driver overnight allowance and the customs admin fee. The price you see is the price you pay.
Is the Germany delivery tracked and insured?
Yes. Status updates from UK collection through to Germany delivery, photo proof of pickup and drop-off, driver goods-in-transit cover normally up to £5,000. Higher declared values can be arranged before the van rolls.
Do you handle heavy or two-man items to Germany?
Yes. Two-man crews, Luton-with-tail-lift and XLWB options are available for anything over 40 kg or awkward to Germany. Flag it on WhatsApp and we'll price the correct van and crew before you commit.
