Cost of a direct van delivery

How much does a direct van delivery cost per kilometre?

A credible direct delivery has no universal per-kilometre rate. Total cost depends on collection and delivery route, vehicle class, availability, time window, loading work, tolls and possible surcharges; short runs usually look more expensive per kilometre than long ones. Maxmove therefore calculates a binding total from the actual order details before booking instead of advertising a misleading flat rate.

Compare complete quotes, not teaser rates

Compare the full offered price for identical addresses, dimensions, weights and time windows. A standalone per-kilometre figure can omit positioning, minimum charges, loading time or tolls, so it is not reliable on its own.
