Pricing for business cargo transportation in Europe

Clear rate structure, written quote scope, and no hidden items.

Every shipment is priced per lane, cargo profile, timing window, and transport format. We show what goes into the rate, what is included in support, and what stays excluded unless confirmed in writing, so procurement and logistics teams can compare scope, not just numbers.

24-48 h

Standard turnaround for a reviewed, written quote.

Line by line

Rate components itemized, not bundled into one figure.

5 days

Standard quote validity, re-confirmed on fuel-linked lanes.

What goes into a freight quote

Six components shape the rate you see in writing.

A transparent quote is not a single number. It is a structured set of cost lines that your team can review, question, and approve before a truck is booked.

01

Base line-haul

Lane distance, vehicle format, and route sequence between origin and destination, priced per shipment or per pallet for groupage.

02

Fuel, tolls, and vignettes

Route-dependent road charges across Ukraine, Poland, Czechia, Germany, Romania, and other corridor countries.

03

Border and customs-side time

A stated allowance for border processing on cross-border lanes. Extended queue exposure is flagged as an exception, not silently absorbed.

04

Loading and unloading handling

Standard dock handling at agreed addresses. Special equipment, inside placement, or rigging is priced separately when requested.

05

Waiting time policy

The first two hours at each end are included. Beyond that, waiting time is charged at a stated hourly rate that appears in the quote.

06

Cargo insurance options

Standard CMR carrier liability is included. Extended all-risk cover for high-value cargo is quoted as a separate line on request.

Indicative lane rates

Planning figures for representative corridors.

Use these ranges for budgeting and lane comparison. They reflect typical conditions for standard palletized commercial cargo and are confirmed per shipment in a written quote.

What moves a rate inside the range

  • Loading date flexibility and pickup windows
  • Cargo weight, stackability, and handling notes
  • Border flow expectations on cross-border lanes
  • One-off shipment versus recurring lane volume

Rates are indicative, exclude VAT and customs-related costs, and assume standard dock loading at business addresses. The confirmed figure for your shipment is issued in writing after request review.

Scope clarity

Included in every quote, excluded unless written.

Most pricing disputes come from assumptions. We remove them by stating inclusions and exclusions on every quote, so your finance and operations teams review the same document.

Procurement note

If a cost line is not listed in the written quote, treat it as excluded. Ask us to add it in writing before booking and we will price it as a visible line item.

Included in every quote

  • Route planning and lane review before booking
  • Milestone updates at agreed checkpoints
  • A named coordination contact for the shipment
  • Standard CMR carrier liability cover
  • Document checklist support for cross-border lanes
  • Delivery confirmation and closeout notice

Excluded unless in writing

  • Customs brokerage, duties, and import VAT
  • Waiting time beyond the agreed window
  • Special equipment: tail lift, ADR, temperature control
  • Weekend, night, or holiday handling
  • Inside placement, rigging, or unpacking
  • Storage, re-delivery, or address changes after dispatch

Relocation logistics: business relocation moves are quoted with the same structure, plus visible lines for packing support, furniture protection, and building access requirements when requested.

From request to confirmed rate

Four steps to a written quote you can approve.

The process is built for business cargo transportation and business relocation logistics. Each step ends with something in writing, so there is no ambiguity about scope or cost.
