How much does a same-day courier cost?

Same-day direct work typically starts around £45 plus a per-mile rate, with next day nearer £25 and economy around £15. The vehicle matters too, with a Luton or tail-lift adding around £70.

How should couriers price mileage?

Per mile, on top of a service-level base. Around £1.20 a mile is a common starting point for van work, and pricing it separately means a 12-mile job and a 120-mile job do not end up with the same quote.

Do you charge for waiting time?

You should. Waiting is the hidden cost in courier work, and an hourly waiting rate on the quote makes it a conversation up front rather than an argument at the end.

Can customers book a specific collection date?

Yes. This template includes a collection date picker, so the enquiry arrives with the date attached and you can check it against the run before you reply.

Is there a downloadable courier & same-day delivery quote template?

Yes. As well as the free online version, you can buy the courier & same-day delivery quote pack as a spreadsheet for £7. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Apple Numbers, with the pricing maths already built in and a branded quote you can export to PDF. Buy once and it's yours to keep.

About this template

Delivery work is won on speed of reply. A form that prices the run instantly, with the collection date attached, turns a quote request into a booking while the other lot are still asking for a postcode.

Courier pricing is service level plus distance plus vehicle, and every enquiry that arrives without those three is a phone call you did not need. This template asks for all of them up front.

Who it's for

Owner-driver couriers, same-day delivery firms and multi-drop operators quoting domestic and business deliveries.
