A 2 ton delivery van costs from $74.55 a day to hire in Melbourne, which makes it the best value van in Turbofleet’s range. It is cheaper than the 1 tonne van at $80 a day despite carrying more, which is why it is the popular pick for delivery runs, courier work, and small moves. The day rate covers you from pickup to return, it drives on a standard car licence, and there are no booking fees, so the price you see is the price you book.
What a 2 ton delivery van costs per day
The 2 tonne delivery van starts from $74.55 a day. For most jobs, such as a delivery shift, a trade run, or a local move, a single day is all you need, so the day rate is the figure that matters. It is the lowest daily rate of the cargo vans, sitting below the 1 tonne van at $80 and the extra large cargo van at $90, even though it has a solid payload. That combination of low rate and real capacity is what earns it the best value label.
Does it get cheaper for a longer hire?
Yes. If you need the van for more than a day, a longer booking lowers the effective daily cost. A multi-day or weekly hire is normally priced better per day than separate daily rentals, so ask for the rate when you book several days. If you need a van on an ongoing basis, such as for regular delivery or courier work, anything beyond four weeks moves to a monthly rolling arrangement through extended van rental, which brings the daily cost down further and includes servicing. Drivers working for a delivery platform can also look at the rideshare and delivery hire options, which are priced by the week.
What is included, and what you pay on top
The daily rate covers the van itself with automatic transmission, power steering, and tie-down points ready for loading. On top of the rate, there is a refundable bond, which depends on the van and comes back to you once it is returned in good order. Fuel is the driver’s own cost, and it is worth checking the kilometre allowance and any damage cover when you book so the quote matches what you pay. Because Turbofleet has no booking fees, there is nothing added on top of the advertised rate.
What changes the price
A few things move the total. A longer hire lowers the daily rate, while a single peak day can cost more, since weekends and busy periods are in higher demand than a quiet weekday. Extras such as damage excess reduction add to the base rate, and going over the kilometre allowance adds a per kilometre fee, so a long day of driving is worth planning around. The simplest ways to keep the cost at that $74.55 starting point are to book direct, choose a weekday where you can, and return the van on time to the same depot.
What the 2 ton delivery van is good for
The 2 tonne delivery van is built for work. Its enclosed load space suits parcel and courier runs, food and grocery delivery, trade and site deliveries, e-commerce drops, and small furniture moves. It keeps loads dry and secure, drives like an automatic car, and is easy to park compared with a truck. If your load is larger than a van can take, a truck is the next step up, and you can compare all the vans on the van hire Melbourne page.
