Swiftline Courier

A price you can work out yourself.

Every job is a base fee for the van plus a rate per mile. If the total is below the van's minimum charge, you pay the minimum. Priority and out-of-hours bookings multiply the result. That's the whole formula; there is no fuel surcharge and no booking fee.
