Collect in Kent, delivery arranged anywhere in the UK
Kent to Brighton Same Day Courier
Brighton is close enough that a job booked mid-morning usually lands before lunch. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from your site in Kent and drives the 63 to 70 miles from Maidstone via the M25 and M23, typically in 1.25 to 2 hours. No motorway reaches the city itself, so the last stretch is always the A23 or A27.
Delivery details
Delivering to Brighton: what to know
Which way will the driver go?
From mid-Kent it is usually the M20 and M26 to the M25, west to junction 7, then south on the M23 until it becomes the A23 into Brighton. The A26 through Tunbridge Wells to Lewes, then the A27, is shorter on the map and slower in practice, but it can suit a west Kent collection or a drop near the Lewes Road.
Where in Brighton can you deliver?
Anywhere in the city and along the coast. Documents often go to offices in the New England Quarter beside Brighton station. Parts and stock go to Hollingbury Industrial Estate, sites along Moulsecoomb Way and the Lewes Road, and businesses at Shoreham Port, about five miles west. Central streets are narrow with little loading space, so tell us the delivery entrance and who is receiving. The industrial estates are easier if your load needs a larger vehicle.
How do I book it?
Send your collection and delivery postcodes, what is going and when it is ready. We reply with a price and the earliest collection time. Once you accept, we assign the vehicle, from a motorcycle or small car to a van or larger vehicle, and for most same-day jobs your consignment goes straight there with that driver. Cover up to £100 is standard; tell us if it is worth more and, where extra cover can be arranged, we confirm the level and any cost before you accept.

The Same Day Couriers Kent difference
Less handling on the way
For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.
The vehicle you actually need
We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.
You know where it is
The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.
Cover agreed before you book
Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
