A Guide to Luggage Delivery from Bristol

Why Send Your Luggage Ahead?

Travelling with heavy suitcases, multiple bags or oversized equipment can make a journey considerably more difficult.

Getting everything into the car, transporting it to the airport or station, loading and unloading it and then keeping track of it throughout your journey can be stressful.

But there is another option.

Send your luggage ahead and travel lighter.

Bristol Van & Courier provides luggage and baggage delivery for customers travelling from Bristol to airports, hotels, holiday accommodation, cruise ports and other destinations.

What is luggage delivery?

Luggage delivery is a simple concept.

Instead of taking all your bags with you throughout your journey, a courier collects your luggage from your home or another agreed location and transports it directly to your destination.

Depending on your arrangements, this could mean having your luggage delivered to:

• An airport

• A hotel

• Holiday accommodation

• A cruise terminal

• A train station

• A ferry port

• Another agreed destination

This can be particularly useful when you're travelling with several bags or items that are awkward to transport yourself.

Why send your luggage ahead?

Travel with less to carry

One of the biggest advantages is obvious — you don't have to carry everything yourself.

Instead of moving several heavy cases through car parks, stations, airports and accommodation, your luggage can travel separately.

Make airport journeys easier

Airport travel can involve parking, transfers, check-in, security and long walks through terminals.

Reducing the amount of luggage you're carrying can make the whole process much easier.

For customers travelling from Bristol, luggage transfers to major airports can be a practical alternative to transporting everything yourself.

Avoid struggling with oversized luggage

Some items simply aren't convenient to take on a normal journey.

Large cases, multiple pieces of luggage, sports equipment and golf clubs can all create additional challenges.

Our excess luggage and golf equipment delivery service is designed for customers who need larger or specialist items transported.

Useful for families and groups

Families can quickly accumulate a surprising amount of luggage.

Children's cases, pushchairs, additional bags and holiday equipment can make travelling considerably more complicated.

Sending some or all of your luggage ahead can make the journey easier for everyone.

Luggage delivery isn't just for airports

Although airport transfers are an important part of luggage delivery, they aren't the only reason customers use the service.

You may be travelling by train, ferry or cruise ship.

You may be staying at a hotel before or after your main journey.

You may simply want your luggage waiting for you when you arrive at your destination.

Luggage can be transported to hotels, holiday accommodation, cruise terminals, ferry ports and other agreed locations.

What about golf clubs and sports equipment?

Golf clubs are a good example of something that can be awkward to transport.

A golf bag is bulky, difficult to carry and can be inconvenient when travelling through airports or using public transport.

The same applies to other sports equipment.

If you're travelling to a golf tournament, sporting event or holiday where you need specialist equipment, having it transported separately can make the journey considerably easier.

Our excess luggage, golf club and sports equipment delivery service can help with these types of journeys.

How does a luggage transfer work?

The process is straightforward.

1. Tell us what you need transported

We'll need to know how many items you're sending, where they are being collected from and where they need to go.

2. Tell us when you need it collected

The collection date and required delivery date are important when planning the journey.

3. We provide a quotation

We'll consider the journey, distance, timing and requirements of the job and provide a clear price.

4. We collect your luggage

Your luggage is collected from the agreed location.

5. We deliver it to your destination

Your luggage is transported to the agreed destination.

The aim is simple:

You travel. We move the luggage.

What can you send?

Luggage delivery can cover much more than standard suitcases.

Depending on the requirements of the journey, we can transport items such as:

• Suitcases

• Hold luggage

• Large or excess bags

• Golf clubs and golf bags

• Sports equipment

• Family luggage

• Holiday equipment

• Cruise luggage

• Other suitable personal belongings

If you're unsure whether your items are suitable, the easiest option is to contact us for a quote.

How much does luggage delivery cost?

There isn't one standard price because every luggage transfer is different.

The cost can depend on the collection location, destination, distance, timing, number and size of items and any additional requirements.

For example, a short local luggage transfer will have different requirements from a long-distance journey from Bristol to an airport or holiday destination.

We explain more about the factors that influence courier costs in our guide to Bristol courier pricing.

We also believe customers should know what they are paying before agreeing to a booking.

Once the details of the job have been confirmed and a price agreed, we don't add an unexpected fuel surcharge simply because fuel prices have changed.

You can read more about this in our article on fuel prices and courier costs.

What if my luggage needs to travel a long way?

Long-distance luggage delivery is where planning becomes particularly important.

The earlier we know the collection and delivery requirements, the more easily we can plan the journey.

Bristol Van & Courier can also undertake nationwide courier deliveries, making longer-distance transportation possible for luggage and other suitable items.

A simpler way to travel

The main benefit of luggage delivery isn't simply that somebody else carries your bags.

It's the difference it can make to the overall journey.

Instead of worrying about how you're going to transport several heavy cases, golf clubs or oversized luggage, you can arrange for your items to be transported separately.

That can mean:

Less carrying.

Less loading and unloading.

Less stress.

More freedom to enjoy your journey.
