Full-Day & Half-Day Courier – A Van and Driver When You Need Them

Need a van and driver for several hours rather than a single delivery? GL Delivery provides flexible half-day and full-day courier services across Birmingham and the UK, giving you an allocated vehicle and driver for an agreed period of time.

Whether you have multiple local deliveries, stock to move between locations or several collections and drop-offs to complete, you can book a block of time around your route and requirements.

Your Van. Your Driver. Your Schedule.

Instead of arranging each collection or delivery separately, a half-day or full-day booking gives you an allocated van and driver for an agreed period of time.

This can be particularly useful when you have several jobs to complete, multiple locations to visit or a planned route that requires courier support for several hours.

We agree the expected route, stops and requirements with you in advance, then provide the vehicle and driver to help keep the work moving throughout the booked period.

Half-Day Courier Service

Our half-day courier service is based on a four-hour booking.

It can work well for local delivery runs, stock movements, multiple collections, business errands and other situations where you need a van and driver for part of the day.

Multiple stops can be included during the booked period where the route, distance and timing requirements allow.

Full-Day Courier Service

Our full-day courier service is based on an eight-hour booking.

It gives you a van and driver for the agreed working period, making it suitable for busier delivery schedules, multiple collections and drop-offs, stock transfers, planned routes and other business transport requirements.

The service is arranged around an agreed route and mileage allowance, with additional mileage charges applying where the agreed distance or operating area is exceeded.

Ideal for Multiple Collections and Deliveries

If you have several collections or deliveries to complete, booking a van and driver for a block of time can be more practical than arranging each courier job separately.

For routes with several planned stops, you can also view our multi-drop delivery service.

For example, you may need several customers supplied during the same morning, stock transferred between locations or multiple collections completed as part of one planned route.

Before confirming the booking, we can review the expected route, number of stops, mileage and timing requirements with you.

For Businesses and Individuals

Half-day and full-day courier bookings are available to both businesses and individuals who need a van and driver for a defined period.

The service can be used for business deliveries, stock movements, planned collections, local distribution and other suitable courier requirements involving multiple stops or several hours of transport.

If you need the same or similar route completed on a recurring basis, our regular and scheduled courier service may be more suitable.
