Courier Rotterdam

Courier transport from the port of Rotterdam

With its port, Rotterdam is the logistics capital of Europe and accounts for a large share of the goods traffic in the Netherlands. The Maasvlakte, Europoort and Botlek form an industrial area the size of a mid-sized Dutch city. Alongside the port, Rotterdam is home to a strong business sector around Kop van Zuid and the Coolsingel, major hospitals such as the Erasmus MC, and various educational institutions. Courier trips in Rotterdam often combine port deliveries with urban business services.

We know the city: 7 districts in and around Rotterdam, 5 business parks and 4 neighbouring municipalities are on our regular routes. Whether it is an urgent trip to the centre, a pallet to a business park or a single parcel delivery to a private address — we arrange it the same day. Our couriers are experienced, drive the fastest route themselves and keep you informed throughout the trip.

Companies on the Maasvlakte and other locations in Rotterdam use us mainly for same-day courier (direct shipments departing typically within 60 minutes), business transport for regular trips with a fixed courier, same-day delivery within 24 hours and international transport under carrier liability. One point of contact, one invoice.

A typical trip works like this: you call or use our calculator, we typically confirm within 5 minutes, with a courier and expected time slot, pick-up takes place at the agreed address, you receive a track & trace link with live position, and the delivery is signed off with a signature or photo. The invoice follows afterwards — no prepayment, no hidden costs. Within Rotterdam we factor in rush hour, access windows and the low-emission zone — our couriers operate here daily and automatically choose the fastest route.

Port and industrial routes around Rotterdam

Our couriers drive through all districts of Rotterdam every day. Shipments to Rotterdam city centre, Kop van Zuid, Delfshaven, Rotterdam-Noord, Feijenoord, Hillegersberg and IJsselmonde can usually be picked up or delivered within 60 minutes, depending on the time of day and traffic. For busy inner cities with one-way streets or limited access windows we advise a small vehicle to avoid delays.

Companies on the Maasvlakte, Europoort, Botlek, Waalhaven and Spaanse Polder can rely on our regular routes and good familiarity with the loading docks, secured entrances and access windows. For large shipments (pallets, roll containers, equipment) we deploy a van or a box truck with a tail lift, with two people if required so that unloading can be quick.

For deliveries to or from the A15 port route, the A16, Rotterdam Centraal station and the Erasmusbrug we plan the best route in advance. Stations and airports have their own procedures for freight deliveries; our couriers are familiar with these. For time-critical shipments combined with a flight or train we advise booking early so we can set off well in time.

Frequently asked questions — courier Rotterdam

How quickly can a courier be on site in Rotterdam?

For urgent shipments in Rotterdam the nearest courier sets off typically within 60 minutes of your call. In a large city like Rotterdam we factor in traffic and access windows in the centre; pick-up or delivery on business parks around the city is usually possible within 60 minutes. Call +31 6 1508 1713 for a realistic estimate at this moment.

What does a courier to or within Rotterdam cost?

For trips within Rotterdam itself you pay a start fee of €59 (passenger car up to ~30 kg), €65 (small van), €89 (large van) or €115 (box truck), plus the per-km rate for the distance there and back (amounts excl. VAT). Because Rotterdam is busy, a peak-hour surcharge may apply on weekdays between 4 and 7 pm; it is already included in the price the calculator shows upfront. Use the calculator for an exact price based on your pick-up and delivery address.

Do you drive to the Maasvlakte and container terminals?

Yes. We drive daily to ECT Delta, APM Maasvlakte II, RWG and Euromax. Our couriers know the Port Base system and the safety rules at the terminals. Time-slot bookings are arranged with the terminal in advance to keep waiting times to a minimum.

Can you transport ADR (dangerous goods)?

Limited ADR quantities (small quantities under point 1.1.3.6) can be transported with our standard vehicle range. For bulk ADR we work with a specialised subcontractor. When booking, please provide the UN number and quantity so we can assign the right courier.

How does the low-emission zone in Rotterdam work?

Rotterdam has a low-emission zone in the centre for vans (Euro 3+ diesel required). The vehicles we use comply. From 2025 the zone becomes stricter (Euro 5+); we are already set up for this. For the zero-emission zone around the city ring from 2030 we are expanding our electric capacity.

How fast is a same-day courier in Alexanderpolder?

From our service area around 55 minutes via the A4-A13-A20. During rush hour towards Rotterdam (07:00-09:30 and 16:00-19:00) it is more like 70-80 minutes. For urgent jobs we drive via Ridderkerk to avoid the A20.

Do you also drive to ships in the port?

Yes. For bunker documents, crew changes or spare-parts delivery to a ship in the port we work with the port agent. We deliver to the gangway with a time slot. For international ships a ferry or terminal-island trip may be required — please flag this in advance.
