How Does GetVan’s Charges Work
Have you ever felt hesitant about GetVan because you weren’t sure about the charges? Indeed, no one here is a fan of surprise fees or additional costs that differ from the promised base price!
However, with GetVan, you can be assured of having fair and honest pricing. We operate on a transparent pricing model, allowing you to get a gauge of the full price before deciding whether or not to book our services.
To help you better understand the on-demand delivery services that you’re paying for, this article provides you with a step-by-step guide on how GetVan’s charges work.
Step 1: Confirm the volume for your move
GetVan’s van hire with driver services range from transporting your furniture to having a personal chauffeur ferry you and your friends around on a social night out.
Once you know what exactly your delivery need is for, and the volume of your move, you can easily pick the right vehicle from our fleet (Read our other article on how to choose the right service and vehicle). This could be a van rental transporting your furniture from Ikea Singapore.
Step 2: Select your vehicle type & Preferred pricing calculation
The next step is to select the right type of vehicle that will best suit your needs. From the main site, select your vehicle, and this will lead you to the booking page.
GetVan’s transparent pricing model allows you to get an estimated total cost of your van and lorry rental. You simply need to enter the details of your delivery, and whether you’re engaging our services by the hour or by the trip. After which, our internal algorithms will perform the calculation for you.

Step 3: Select additional services where necessary
Once you’ve settled on your vehicle, consider if you want additional services. GetVan provides additional services at a fixed cost. This includes carrying furniture, loose or bulky items, collecting and delivering your items on your behalf and the need for extra manpower on top of the driver to help with the move,
At the same time, you can also opt-in to our free-of-charge services. This includes riding along at the front seat with your driver, having a goods trolley, and even ferrying your pets.
Take note that miscellaneous charges apply depending on whether you require extra pickup location, extra drop-off location or extra waiting time (after 15 mins). Also, there will be variable charges for ERP, parking and entry (i.e. Sentosa).
Conclusion
To conclude, GetVan’s charges differ according to your preferred service and vehicle type. However, given our transparent pricing model, you will never be in for surprise additional fees!
