The Solution for Large and Heavy Packages in Istanbul: What is a Car Courier?
In Istanbul, the logistical needs of commercial businesses and individual users may not always fit into the saddlebags of two-wheeled motorcycles. When shipments that are too large, heavy, delicate, or bulky for motor couriers to carry need to reach an address quickly amidst city traffic, Doblo-style light commercial vehicles come into play. As MS Moto Kurye, we deliver your high-volume packages safely and swiftly to their destination with our Istanbul car courier solutions, which are unaffected by adverse weather conditions and boast a high transport capacity.
How Does the Car Courier Service Work?
Our vehicle-based transportation operation works with a system completely focused on "same-day and direct" delivery, totally different from the days-long collection and transfer processes of cargo companies:
- Fast Vehicle Allocation: The moment you create a car courier request via our website or call center, our system directs our panel van or light commercial vehicle closest to your location directly to your address.
- Safe Loading and Securing: Once our vehicle reaches your address, your high-volume shipments—such as boxes, box groups, sensitive electronic devices, or industrial samples—are loaded into the vehicle's spacious interior and secured in a way that prevents shaking and damage.
- Direct and Secure Route: After picking up your package, our vehicle does not stop by transfer centers like traditional cargo. It sets off solely with your shipment and heads directly toward the recipient's address. Delivery is ensured in the shortest time possible by using routes appropriate for Istanbul traffic and bridge restrictions.
In Which Situations Should a Car Courier Be Preferred?
If the package you are sending is too large to be carried on the back of a motorcycle or needs to be protected from external weather conditions (rain, mud, wind), a car courier is the rightest investment. This service of ours is generally heavily preferred in the following scenarios:
Parcel and Multi-Package Shipments
Instead of calling a motorcycle one by one for numerous folders, archive boxes, or bulk e-commerce product shipments that need to be transported between company branches, dispatch is provided with a single commercial vehicle.
Sensitive and Fragile Technological Products
Sensitive products that cannot withstand vibration, such as large-screen televisions, computer cases, servers, or laboratory devices, are transported safely inside the vehicle.
Textile, Automotive, and Printing Samples
Clothing rolls, automotive spare parts, heavy catalogs, brochures, and printing products exceed the carrying capacity of motorcycles and are therefore transported by our car-mounted teams.
What Are the Differences Between a Car Courier and a Motor Courier?
The main difference between the two models that our customers compare the most is capacity and protection. While motor couriers can carry small-sized packages with a maximum weight of 20-30 kg, the car courier can load hundreds of kilograms of parcels and bulky items at once. Furthermore, thanks to enclosed-box vehicles, your packages are 100% protected against rain, dust, and external factors. Although motorcycles are more flexible in traffic in terms of speed, since our vehicle couriers also use a direct route without transfers, they deliver in just a few hours rather than days compared to traditional cargo.
How Are Car Courier Prices Calculated?
Since the operational, fuel, and bridge/tunnel crossing costs of large-volume vehicles differ from motorcycles, car-based transportation pricing is calculated based on the following criteria:
- The net kilometer distance between the district where the shipment will be picked up and the district where it will be delivered.
- The total weight, volume (desi amount) of the package, and how much space it occupies in the vehicle.
- Bridge, tunnel, or highway toll fees that are mandatory to cross.
