321Minimum £1. 25 lm -best I have had is £2 lm
About £1.30-£1.40, I've spoke to a few vandors who are happy to pay that price for luton van
I think the correct answer should be: as much as your customer is prepared to pay!
There is nothing set in stone. I do know however that my colleague in the West Midlands charges a minimum of £2.00 / loaded mile for his and has stacks of work.
I hired one to go to Stornoway a while ago, and it struggled to do more than 18 mpg. So they are not cheap to run!
Standard rate for us is £1.50 plm. This for both retail and trade, The running costs are higher especially twin wheelers and tail lift servicing etc. Also with the aerodynamics of a block of flats.
The price I gave was for sub-contacting. If it was an end user, I would be looking at around £1.80

Hire company put there prices up by almost double what I was paying. I was struggling to get insurance for LWB van, so decided to go back to small van. I will sub-contact out the bigger van jobs now tho. I put a couple of jobs on here about 2 weeks ago and daft prices- over £100 for a 28 mile job lol

Well I have got to say that is very sensible Simon, it's a shame everbody dosent follow you, we might then have a decent industry then.
We have had other courier companies asking for a trade rate but we can't the costs don't allow it.
And our Lutons are out almost every day all day.
