Hire a van and driver for a planned multi-stop run
When one delivery is not enough, hire a van by the hour with an itinerary. Chefs, stews, captains, provisioners and management companies set the stops in order, carriers send offers for the time slot, and the driver works through the run with a status on every stop.
Who it’s for
Van hire with a plan on Onshore
- Chefs and chief stews doing the weekly provisioning round
- Captains and management companies with several suppliers and one or more yachts
- Provisioners who need a dedicated vehicle for a busy morning

Tips
Getting it right
- Put the pickups first and give each supplier a realistic ready-from time so the driver is not kept waiting.
- Add a second person if goods must be carried down a dock or over a passerelle.
- Time past the end of the hire is billed as overtime at the hourly rate, in half-hour steps, and you approve it first.
Questions
FAQ
How much does it cost?
You see an indicative range while you plan (an hourly rate by van size, a small charge per stop beyond four and a per-kilometre charge beyond an included distance). The final price is the carrier’s offer, either fixed or hourly with an estimated total.
Is there a minimum hire?
Yes, two hours. Hire can run up to ten hours.
What if a supplier is closed?
The driver can skip a stop with a reason, and you are notified straight away. Talk to the carrier about anything that changes the plan.
