Luggage delivery across the UK — send your cases door to door
Travelling light is easier when the heavy part goes separately. We collect suitcases, holdalls, boxes and trunks from your door and deliver them to a house, halls of residence, hotel, office or airport hotel with one driver the whole way.
Because nothing passes through a depot, your cases are not tipped onto a belt or stacked under pallets. They go in the van, get strapped, and come out at the other end.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Who uses it
- Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses
- Anyone relocating for work who needs cases there before they arrive
- Travellers flying with hand luggage only and sending the rest by road
- Families sending cases and boxes ahead of an extended stay
- People collecting belongings left at a previous address
How many cases fit
A car handles a few cases and boxes. A small van comfortably takes a student's full room — several cases, boxes, bedding and a desk lamp. A short or long-wheelbase van is the right call for a whole household's worth of luggage or anything that will not stack safely.
Give us a rough count and the heaviest single item when you request the price, and we will match the smallest sensible vehicle rather than the biggest.
Halls, hotels and third-party addresses
If we are delivering to halls of residence, a hotel or a workplace, check that reception will accept and sign for luggage on your behalf and tell us the name it should be left under. Where a site refuses to accept goods, the driver will contact you rather than leaving cases unattended.
A failed delivery caused by nobody being able to accept the luggage becomes a return or a re-delivery, and that is chargeable — so a two-minute call to reception beforehand is worth it.
Packing and what we cannot take
Cases should be closed, locked or zip-tied, and boxes taped. Do not send cash, jewellery, passports, medication you rely on, or anything you cannot replace — put those in the bag that travels with you.
We cannot carry perishables, aerosols in quantity, flammable liquids, illegal items or anything requiring hazardous-goods documentation.
What it costs
Luggage is priced by distance and vehicle: from £1.25 per mile in a car with a £55 minimum job, from £1.45 per mile in a small van with a £65 minimum. There is no fuel surcharge added afterwards.
Sending cases a week or two ahead? Choose flexible, give us a date window, and the price drops because we can fit the job into a driver's existing route.
Cover for luggage in transit
The allocated driver holds driver goods-in-transit cover normally up to £5,000, and Taylors Courier Service Ltd's contractual liability is separately capped at £250 under our Terms and Conditions. The driver's cover is not a guaranteed settlement.
Cover depends on policy terms, exclusions, adequate packaging, declared value, evidence of value and the claims procedure. Tell us before collection if the contents are worth more than £5,000 so additional insurance can be arranged.
How to get a price
Put both postcodes into the quote box above for an instant figure, or send the details on WhatsApp and we will confirm the vehicle, crew and price in writing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to send a suitcase in the UK?
From £1.25 per mile in a car with a £55 minimum job, or from £1.45 per mile in a small van with a £65 minimum. Because the van is dedicated to your job, sending several cases together costs little more than sending one.
Can you deliver luggage to university halls?
Yes, and we do it regularly. Confirm that reception will sign for the cases and tell us the name they should be left under, because most halls will not release keys or accept goods without that.
Can you deliver to a hotel or an airport hotel?
Yes, provided the hotel agrees to hold the luggage and someone there can sign for it. We are not able to hand luggage in at an airport check-in desk on your behalf.
How quickly can luggage be collected?
Same-day collection windows are typically 60–90 minutes from confirmation, subject to driver availability. If you are sending cases in advance, flexible delivery is cheaper.
Do you provide boxes or packing?
We do not supply packing materials as standard. Cases should be closed and boxes taped before collection. We can quote for a two-person crew where the volume or weight needs it.
What must not go in the luggage?
Cash, jewellery, passports, essential medication, perishables, flammable liquids and anything needing hazardous-goods paperwork. Keep irreplaceable items with you.
