Delivery: What We Handle
Scooter delivery is a specialist transport service that moves your scooter, moped, or e-scooter from one location to another using a dedicated van or enclosed vehicle. Unlike riding the scooter yourself or arranging an open-air trailer, professional scooter delivery keeps your vehicle protected from weather, road debris, and handling damage throughout the entire journey.
Giant Van covers all main scooter types under this service. That includes 50cc mopeds, 125cc commuter scooters, larger maxi-scooters up to 750cc, electric scooters, and kick scooters of significant value. We also handle delivery for non-running scooters, which is a common scenario when people buy a project bike or a scooter that needs repair work on arrival.
The service operates UK-wide. We collect from private addresses, dealerships, storage units, garages, and auction sites. Delivery drops to the same range of locations. Our drivers use tracked vehicles, so you always know where your scooter is during transit. Most same-day and next-day slots are available for local and regional routes.
Longer national routes are typically completed within 24 to 48 hours depending on distance and scheduling. All vehicles are fully insured in transit, and our team uses proper motorcycle strapping gear, not general cargo ties, to keep your scooter upright and secure.
Getting the Details Right for Delivery
Scooter delivery costs in the UK vary based on distance, vehicle size, and how quickly you need the job done.
At Giant Van, pricing is transparent and calculated upfront so there are no surprises on the day.
For short local runs within a single city or town, delivery typically starts from around £40 to £70.
Regional routes between 50 and 150 miles usually fall in the £80 to £150 range.
Long-distance UK routes, such as London to Manchester or Edinburgh to Bristol, generally range from £150 to £300 depending on exact mileage and any access requirements at either end.
Several factors can affect your final price.
A scooter that cannot be ridden onto the van (non-runner) may require a ramp and extra handling time, which adds a modest surcharge. If you need same-day collection, expect a premium on the standard rate, typically 20 to 30 percent above the scheduled price.
Collection or delivery to a location with restricted access, such as a narrow city lane or a first-floor apartment, may also add a small amount.
Electric scooters and e-bikes with large battery packs are transported under standard pricing, though we ask you to confirm battery capacity above 300Wh in advance so we can follow current UK carriage guidelines.
The best way to get an accurate figure is to call with your collection and delivery postcodes, the scooter type, and whether it runs.
We provide a firm quote before you commit to anything.
Scooter Delivery Price Guide
Prices depend on distance and vehicle type. Local runs (under 30 miles) start from approximately £40. Regional routes (30 to 150 miles) typically cost £80 to £150. National routes across the UK range from £150 to £300. Non-runners and same-day collections carry a modest surcharge. All quotes are fixed price and confirmed before your booking is accepted.

All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostCrew Recommendations for Delivery Prep
Most UK courier services, including Giant Van, ask for the tank to be below a quarter full before transit. A near-empty tank reduces fire risk and also lowers the overall weight. For electric scooters, charge the battery to around 30 to 50 percent rather than a full charge.
Note any existing scratches, dents, or damage on the collection form. This protects you and helps our team confirm the condition is unchanged on delivery. Our driver will do the same check independently.
That includes mirrors that unscrew easily, handlebar bags, phone mounts, and anything inside a top box. Pack these separately in a bag or box that travels with the vehicle.
An activated alarm during transit causes unnecessary stress and can drain the battery.
This keeps the front wheel straight during loading and prevents the scooter from shifting in its tie-down position while the van is moving.

Our Delivery Operating Area
The UK scooter market has grown considerably over the past five years.
Urban commuters have driven a spike in 125cc scooter registrations, while e-scooter rental trials in cities such as London, Bristol, and Manchester have pushed consumer appetite for personal electric scooters higher.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reported that 125cc motorcycle and moped registrations have consistently ranked among the top growth segments in the UK two-wheel market year on year.
This growth has a direct effect on the demand for scooter delivery.
Private buyers are now purchasing scooters through online platforms like eBay, AutoTrader, and specialist dealers rather than visiting a physical showroom.
When the seller is 200 miles away, the buyer needs a reliable way to move the vehicle without riding it home in all weathers or hiring an open trailer.
Giant Van covers all major UK regions.
That includes London and the wider South East, the Midlands, the North West and North East, Yorkshire, Wales, Scotland as far north as the Central Belt, and the South West. We also handle deliveries to and from Northern Ireland through a separate ferry-assisted routing for customers who need this.
Urban areas benefit from our local delivery runs, which group nearby jobs onto a single route.
This keeps costs lower and allows same-day slots more frequently. Rural addresses are handled on a point-to-point basis, and we ask for a bit more lead time on bookings in remote postcodes to ensure driver availability.
A Note From Our Drivers
Our drivers navigate local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation depends on it.

Why Pick Giant Van for Delivery
Giant Van is not a general courier that happens to take the odd scooter booking.
We specialise in vehicle transport, and scooter delivery is one of the most frequently requested jobs we handle.
That focus translates into a few practical differences that customers notice.
Our drivers understand two-wheelers.
They know where the tie-down points are on different scooter frames, how to balance a loaded van so the vehicle does not shift around corners, and how to use wheel chocks correctly.
General freight drivers using standard van racking do not always carry this knowledge, and it shows in the condition of the vehicle on arrival.
We keep our pricing honest.
The quote you receive is the price you pay.
We do not add hidden fuel surcharges, congestion zone fees, or late-arrival penalties unless they are discussed and agreed in advance.
We are responsive.
When you message us in the live chat, you speak to someone who can give you a quote and confirm a booking in the same conversation.
There is no automated form to fill out, no 24-hour response window, and no chatbot to work around.
We are fully insured and operate commercially registered vehicles.
For dealerships and businesses, this matters when arranging delivery on behalf of customers.
Private sellers find it valuable when offering a complete transaction experience for the buyer.
Repeat customers frequently cite reliability as the main reason they return.
A scooter delivery that runs on time, arrives undamaged, and comes with clear paperwork is the baseline we hold every job to.

Scooter Delivery Made Simple with Giant Van — FAQs
How much does scooter delivery cost with Giant Van?
Scooter delivery prices start from around £40 for short local runs and range up to approximately £300 for long-distance national routes. The exact price depends on collection and delivery postcodes, the scooter type, and whether the vehicle is a runner. Call with your details and we will give you a fixed quote on the spot with no obligation to proceed.
Can Giant Van collect a non-running scooter?
Yes. We regularly collect non-running scooters that cannot be ridden onto the van. Our drivers carry ramps and the correct equipment to load a non-runner safely. Please tell us at the time of booking that the vehicle is a non-runner so we can allocate the right resource.
A small surcharge may apply depending on access at the collection address and the weight of the scooter.
Is my scooter insured during delivery?
Yes. If your scooter is worth more, we offer extended cover at an additional cost. You must declare the value at the time of booking for cover to apply. We use correct motorcycle strapping equipment throughout every job to minimise the risk of any transit damage.
How quickly can Giant Van collect my scooter?
In most cases we can arrange next-day collection for standard bookings. Same-day collection is available on many local and regional routes, subject to driver availability at the time you call. National routes are typically collected within one to two working days.
Call as early in the day as possible if you need urgent collection, and we will confirm availability immediately during the call.
Do you deliver electric scooters and e-bikes?
Yes. We carry electric scooters and e-bikes under our standard scooter delivery service. For vehicles with batteries above 300Wh, we ask you to confirm the battery capacity at booking so we can follow current UK transport guidelines for lithium battery carriage.
Please ensure the battery is charged to between 30 and 50 percent before collection rather than fully charged or fully depleted.
What areas does Giant Van cover for scooter delivery?
We cover the whole of mainland UK, including London, the South East, the Midlands, the North West, the North East, Yorkshire, Wales, and Scotland as far as the Central Belt. Northern Ireland deliveries are handled via ferry-assisted routing and require advance booking.
If you are unsure if your location is covered, call and we will confirm within seconds if your route is available.
How should I prepare my scooter before collection?
Drain the fuel to below a quarter of a tank, or charge an electric scooter to 30 to 50 percent. Remove loose accessories such as handlebar bags, unsecured mirrors, and top-box contents. Disable any alarm system or provide the fob and PIN to the driver.
Take photos of the scooter from all four sides before handover and note any existing damage on the collection form to confirm the vehicle's condition before transit.
Do I get proof that my scooter has been delivered?
Yes. The recipient signs for the scooter on delivery and a copy of the signed proof of delivery is sent to your email address within a few minutes of the job being completed. This document confirms the delivery address, the time and date of handover, and the condition of the vehicle as noted at drop-off.
Business customers and private sellers can use this document as part of a formal transaction record.
