Goods transport · Van with driver · Lorry with driver
Relo's transport service Singapore-wide moves goods with the driver included: a cargo van, a 10ft, 14ft or 24ft lorry, or a crane lorry, driven by our own driver, with a helper on request. The vehicles and the drivers are Relo's own, so your job is not handed down a broker chain. Tell us the pickup, the drop-off and the load, and the quote comes back the same day with the vehicle, the trips and the crew as separate lines.

Which transport service you need
Transport services in Singapore fall into two groups: moving people and moving goods. Relo provides the goods side: a van or lorry with a professional driver, booked on demand or on contract. The table shows which type fits which job, and where each one sits on relo.sg.
| Type of transport service | What it moves | Where to go |
|---|---|---|
| Goods transport with driver | Cartons, pallets, stock, equipment, furniture and event gear you have already packed | This page |
| Courier and contract delivery | Parcels and recurring delivery routes | courier service Singapore |
| Moving | A whole home or office, with packing and setup | movers Singapore |
| Passenger transport | Staff and groups | Handled on request |
Sizes at a glance
A van carries under a tonne, a 10ft lorry around 1 to 1.5 tonnes, a 14ft lorry around 2.5 to 3 tonnes and a 24ft lorry up to about 9 tonnes. These are typical figures for each class in Singapore and vary by make and body type; the quote names the vehicle we send.
| Vehicle (with driver) | Typical load capacity and cargo space | What usually fits | Access to plan for | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Van | Under 1 tonne · ~1.8–2.4 m long | A few boxes, single items, a small studio | Clears most HDB multi-storey carparks | Van section |
| 10ft lorry | Around 1–1.5 tonnes · ~3 × 1.5 × 1.8 m | A one- to three-room flat, a small office | Fits most loading bays; many clear HDB carpark height barriers | Lorry section |
| 14ft lorry | Around 2.5–3 tonnes · ~4 × 1.8 × 2 m | A four- or five-room flat, a condominium, a mid-size office | Taller box bodies are stopped by most HDB carpark barriers; plan a ground-level loading point | Lorry section |
| 24ft lorry | Up to ~9 tonnes · ~7.3–7.5 × 2.5 m | A large condominium, a landed home, bulk cargo | Ground-level access at both ends | Lorry section |
| Crane lorry | Lifting scope confirmed at quote | Pallets, machinery and bulky items that cannot be hand-loaded | Site access confirmed before we quote | Crane section |
| Chiller truck | See cold chain logistics | Chilled and frozen goods | Temperature-controlled runs | Cold chain page |
Lorry with driver
Relo's lorry transport service Singapore-wide puts a 10ft, 14ft or 24ft lorry and our own driver on your job, with a helper on request, for palletised goods, bulk stock, site materials and loads too large for a van. A tailgate and a pallet jack are available on request for ground-level loading where there is no dock. One right-sized lorry usually beats two trips in a smaller one. Tell us what is being transported and your requirements, and we match the lorry type and capacity to the load so it travels safely.
Around 1 to 1.5 tonnes. Book it for a bedroom or two of furniture plus boxes, a small office, or a delivery run of furniture and appliances. It fits most loading bays, and many 10ft lorries clear the height barriers of typical HDB multi-storey carparks. Open body with canopy, or a tailgate on request.
Around 2.5 to 3 tonnes and roughly double the volume of a 10ft: the usual choice for a four- or five-room flat, a mid-size office or a multi-pallet transfer. Box body with tailgate; pallet jack and cargo straps on request. Taller 14ft box bodies do not clear most HDB carpark height barriers, so plan a ground-level loading point.
Up to about 9 tonnes, for bulk loads in one run. It cannot enter most HDB multi-storey carparks or many condominium basements, so it loads at ground level and the carry is longer. That is when a helper is worth adding to the quote.
If you searched for lorry rental with driver, this is that service: the lorry arrives with a Relo driver, and you do not take the keys. Driving a lorry yourself takes the right driving class, which is one reason many people book the lorry with a driver. Our guide to lorry sizes in Singapore walks through what fits in each size.
Lorry delivery
Relo's lorry delivery service takes goods that are too big or too many for a courier van to one address or several: pallets, bulk stock, building materials, equipment and event gear. It runs on a Relo lorry with a Relo driver, a helper is added when the load needs two people, and each drop is a stop on the quote. Deliveries are planned around the type of load, the handling it needs and the access at every stop.
What we deliver:
Who it is for:
A recurring pallet route can run on a fixed monthly contract; how the quote is built is under what it costs.
Anything too big or too many for a courier van: single pallets and multi-pallet loads, bulk stock, building materials and equipment, furniture, appliances, and event and roadshow gear. Chilled and frozen goods go on a chiller truck through our cold chain service, and loads that cannot be hand-loaded go on the crane lorry.
Yes. Multi-point distribution is one load with several stops, and each stop is its own line on the quote. Give us the addresses, the order you want them in and any time windows, and we plan the round. A route that repeats can run as a daily run or on a fixed monthly contract.
Need a lorry or a van with driver? Tell us the job and the quote comes back the same day.
Van with driver
A van with driver is Relo's smallest booking: a cargo van, one of our drivers, and a helper if you want the loading done for you. If you searched for van rental with driver, this is that service: the van arrives with the driver, and you do not take the keys. It suits boxes and cartons, e-commerce stock, office equipment, appliances and event props. Send your requirements and we confirm the van has the capacity before the quotation goes out.
A cargo van carries loads under a tonne in a cargo space of roughly 1.8 to 2.4 metres: a few boxes, a fridge or a sofa, or a small studio's worth of furniture. If the load is palletised or runs past a tonne, the 10ft lorry is the next step up.
Book a single one-way run, a round with several drops, or a van and driver on your daily route, one-off or on a fixed monthly contract.
The driver is Relo's own, not a driver-partner matched by an app, and gets the van and your goods to the address. When the load needs lifting, carrying, stacking or a long walk to the lift, add a helper, as a named line on the quote.
Height decides access in Singapore more often than weight does. Most HDB multi-storey carparks clear around 2.1 to 2.2 metres, which admits a van and many 10ft lorries but stops taller 14ft box bodies and every 24ft. A van is therefore the usual answer for a basement carpark, a mall loading bay or a CBD tower with a height barrier.
With driver. Relo does not offer self-drive rental: the van comes with our driver, and a helper if you ask, so there are no keys to collect. If you searched for van rental with driver, this is that service; it is not a van you drive yourself.
It depends on the load and on who is at each address. If your own people load and receive the goods, a van with driver is enough. For furniture, appliances, palletised stock, a long carry or stairs, add a helper as its own line on the quote.
Our van with driver is a goods service: the space behind the driver carries cartons, stock or equipment, not people. Relo does run passenger transport for staff and groups on request: if you need people moved, tell us how many and the route. Goods travel under Relo’s goods-in-transit and public-liability insurance.
Which one do you need?
Relo supplies the vehicle and the driver together; we do not offer self-drive rental and we are not a booking app. A vehicle with driver suits pallets, helpers, multi-stop rounds and recurring routes. An app suits one small load to one address right away, and self-drive rental suits people who will do the driving and loading themselves.
| Vehicle with driver (Relo) | Booking app (not Relo) | Self-drive rental (not Relo) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who drives | A Relo driver | A driver-partner matched when you book | You, with the right driving class |
| Loading | A helper if booked | An add-on where the app offers it | You and whoever you bring |
| How the cost is set | One written quote: vehicle, trips, crew, access | A base fare by vehicle plus distance, with add-ons for extra stops | A daily charge plus your own time |
| Choose it when | You want the goods moved without running a vehicle | You have one small load, one drop, right now | You want the vehicle only |
What it costs
There is no flat figure: Relo quotes each job in writing the same day, because a van run across the road and a five-stop lorry round with a helper are different jobs. Eight things set the quote, and the vehicle, the trips, the crew and any access or waiting charges appear as separate lines before you commit. We do not publish rates; the itemised quote is how the pricing stays transparent.
| # | What sets the quote | Why it changes the figure |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Distance and route | Cross-island runs and CBD entries take longer |
| 2 | Trips or stops | Every stop and every extra trip counts |
| 3 | Vehicle size | Matched to the load and the access |
| 4 | Helper | Its own line when the load needs two people |
| 5 | Loading and waiting time | Time at the bay, at a gate or waiting for a lift slot |
| 6 | Access at each end | No lift, a long carry, a height barrier or no dock changes crew and vehicle |
| 7 | Timing | Urgent, after-hours or weekend requests draw on fewer free vehicles |
| 8 | Restricted-site paperwork | Sites with their own entry rules need arranging in advance; tell us at quote |
Two questions hide in that search. Self-drive lorry rental is charged by the day, and you drive, load and return it yourself. A lorry delivery service with driver, which is what Relo runs, is quoted per job, in writing, the same day.
Lalamove and similar apps publish their own tariffs: a base fare by vehicle plus a per-kilometre charge, with extra-stop and other add-on fees, so check the app for current figures. Relo quotes the whole job once, so a multi-stop route with a helper is one written quote.
If you mean a chauffeur for passengers, that is a different service from Relo’s. For goods, the driver comes with the vehicle and is not a separate booking. A Relo van or lorry arrives with our own driver, and the quote names the vehicle, the trips, any helper and the access. Send both addresses, the load and the date for a same-day quote.
How it works
Every Relo transport job runs in three steps: tell us the job, get a same-day quote naming the vehicle, the trips and the crew, and the driver turns up with the vehicle on the quote. If the load or the access is unusual, we ask before quoting.
How you can book it
Booking is flexible. Relo's transport runs in three modes: a one-off ad-hoc job, a vehicle and driver on daily runs, or a fixed monthly contract. All three run on the same fleet and drivers; the difference is how far ahead the vehicle is committed to you.
A single pickup and drop, an urgent pallet, a one-way move of equipment between premises. Quoted per job, the same day.
A van or lorry with driver on your scheduled daily route: store replenishment, warehouse-to-outlet transfers, factory runs. The same driver where the schedule allows.
A dedicated vehicle and crew committed by the month, with one point of contact, and one invoice when contract delivery, warehousing or cold chain run on the same account.
Lift and carry in one trip
Relo's lorry crane services use a crane lorry to lift a load that cannot be hand-loaded, carry it, and set it down at the other end. The vehicle that lifts is the vehicle that carries, so there is no second vehicle and no second crew. The lifting scope and the site access are confirmed before we quote.
Lorry cranes are an efficient choice on construction sites and event set-ups: one vehicle lifts the load, moves it and sets it down safely, with no separate crane to book. Tell us the weights so each lift can be checked against the crane's capacity.
What the crane lorry is for:
Tailgate, crane lorry or a specialist crane?
| The load | What does the job | Who runs it |
|---|---|---|
| Palletised goods a pallet jack can roll | A tailgate lorry with a pallet jack | Relo, as a lorry job |
| Crated, heavy or awkward items lifted at ground level | A crane lorry | Relo, once the lifting scope is confirmed at quote |
| Heavy lifts, multi-crane work or tower-crane work | A specialist crane company | Not Relo; we say so at the quote |
What to send for a crane lorry quote:
Send the details on WhatsApp 8422 2172.
A lorry crane, also called a truck-mounted crane: a hydraulic crane fitted to a lorry's chassis so the same vehicle lifts the load and carries it. Relo runs a crane lorry for lift-and-carry jobs at ground level, with the lifting scope confirmed at quote.
Relo does not publish a figure. A quote for lorry crane services depends on what is lifted and how heavy it is, the distance, the loading and waiting time, and the access at both sites. Send those details and the quote comes back the same day.
Own fleet, own drivers
Search "transport company Singapore" and much of what comes back is a directory, a ranked list or a booking platform. Relo runs the job itself: we own the vehicles, run our own drivers, quote the job in writing and turn up with the vehicle on the quote.
Relo is a land transport and logistics services provider for goods, serving industries from e-commerce, retail and F&B to construction, events and manufacturing. A reliable transport company is one whose vehicle, driver and quote do not change between the booking and the job.
Five checks before you book any transport company, with Relo's answer to each:
| Check | Why it matters | Relo's answer |
|---|---|---|
| Whose vehicle is it? | A broker or platform gives the job to a driver matched on the day | Relo's own: vans, 10ft, 14ft and 24ft lorries, chiller trucks and a crane lorry |
| Whose driver is it? | An app's driver-partner is not the company's own driver | A Relo driver on every run |
| What does the quote show? | A single lump sum hides what changes on the day | Vehicle, trips, crew and access as separate lines, sent the same day |
| Goods or people? | Many transport results in Singapore are for moving people | Goods: cartons, pallets, stock, equipment and furniture |
| Who do you call when the job changes? | Several vendors means several numbers | One point of contact; one quote and one invoice when several services run together |
Relo at a glance:
Where we run
Relo's transportation services Singapore-wide cover the whole island out of 113 Rangoon Road, and a run can start or end anywhere. Restricted or secured sites are handled per job: tell us the site at quote, and any lead time it adds is stated on the quote. Runs are booked on demand or on contract, for businesses and for households.
The industrial estates, business parks, malls and worksites in between are covered too.
Same fleet, same team
Transport with a driver is one of twelve services Relo runs in-house. The others run on the same fleet and team, and several services on one job go on one quote and one invoice.
FAQ
More questions people ask before booking a van or lorry with a driver. Not covered? Ask us on WhatsApp.
A vehicle matched to the load, a Relo driver, and a written quote that names the vehicle, the trips, the crew and the access. A helper, a tailgate and a pallet jack are added on request. Runs are booked one-off, daily or on a fixed monthly contract.
Ask us. Quotes come back the same day, and the quote form has a "Today / urgent" option. Whether the job can run today depends on which vehicles are free, the load and the access, so send both addresses and the load early in the day.
It depends on what you move and how often. An app is quick for one small load to one address, charged by distance with a driver-partner matched on the day. A vehicle with driver suits loads that need a helper, multi-stop rounds and recurring routes.
Shortlist on facts rather than adjectives: does the company own the vehicle, is the driver its own, does the quote name vehicle, trips, crew and access, does it move goods or people, and who do you call when the job changes. Ask any transport company Singapore-wide to answer all five in writing.
Yes. Relo's vans and lorries run across the whole island out of Rangoon Road, including Tuas, Jurong, Woodlands, Changi, Tampines and the CBD. Restricted or secured sites are handled per job: tell us the site at quote and any lead time goes on the quote.
Yes. With a tailgate lorry and a pallet jack, palletised goods go on and off at ground level where there is no dock. Tell us the pallet count and weights at quote; crated loads a pallet jack cannot move go on the crane lorry.
