⚠️

What we don't carry

We're a car-based courier, not a haulage firm. We can't take pallets, furniture, anything needing a tail lift or two people to move, or anything hazardous.

If it won't fit in a boot, we'll tell you honestly on the phone rather than send a car that can't help.

What People Send With Us

⏳

The thing that has to be there today

Contracts before a deadline, a signed document to a solicitor, a part a job is waiting on.

🛂

The thing someone forgot

A passport left on the kitchen table while the family is halfway to the airport. It happens more than you'd think, and we run it out to the terminal.

🛒

Shopping for someone who can't get out

An elderly parent, a relative just home from hospital. We collect and drop at the door.

✈️

Things to or from the airport

A bag that didn't make the flight, a case sent ahead, documents to someone in transit. All five London airports.

How It Works

1

Tell us what and where

Ring 020 8866 6666 or book online. Describe the item, give us the collection and delivery addresses.

2

Get a fixed price

Agreed before the driver sets off, and it doesn't change afterwards.

3

A driver collects it

One of our drivers — licensed by Transport for London and DBS-checked — not a subcontractor you've never heard of.

4

It goes straight there

The item stays in the car from collection to delivery. No depot, no sorting facility, no handing it to another driver at three in the morning.

5

Handed over in person

We give it to the named recipient, not to whoever answers the door, unless you tell us otherwise.

That last point is the difference between this and a parcel network. Your item is in one named driver's car, on one journey, and you can ring us and ask exactly where it is.

Quoted per job

What It Costs

Courier fares depend on the distance and how urgently you need it there, so we quote each job rather than publishing a price list. Call us and you'll have a fixed price in a minute — agreed before we collect, and it doesn't change.

There's no night rate. A delivery at four in the morning costs the same as one at four in the afternoon. If you send things regularly, a monthly account is simpler than paying each time.

Booking a Courier

Call 020 8866 6666 or book online. Tell us:

  • What the item is and roughly how big
  • Where it's being collected from, and when it'll be ready
  • Where it's going, and who should receive it
  • Whether it needs to be there by a particular time

Most jobs in and around Harrow we can collect straight away. There's someone here 24 hours a day, so an urgent evening or overnight run is a normal booking rather than a favour. Pay by card, by cash, or on a monthly account.

Where We Deliver

Across Harrow — HA1, HA2 and HA3 — including Rayners Lane, North Harrow, South Harrow, Harrow on the Hill, Wembley and Sudbury, plus Pinner, Northwood, Stanmore, Ruislip and Edgware.

From there, anywhere in London and out to all five airports — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City. Further afield too; tell us the destination and we'll quote it.

About New Century Cars

We've been the minicab company in Harrow since 1972, working from 470 Alexandra Avenue in Rayners Lane. The courier work grew out of the cars — customers asking whether a driver could drop something off, and then asking again.
