Flexible transport solutions are more important than ever for both businesses and individuals. With its new hourly rate option, Lalamove is expanding its offerings, providing an additional option for anyone who needs a suitable vehicle quickly and affordably for extended use.

In this article, we answer the key questions about the hourly rate option.

What is the Lalamove hourly rate option?

This option provides vehicles with delivery partners on an hourly basis, offering maximum flexibility and convenience. 

What does the hourly rate option include?

The option includes the vehicle, the Lalamove delivery partner, and 20 km per hour. Additional kilometers are charged at the regular rate.

Which vehicles are available?

Currently, you can book a car or a transporter on an hourly basis. Here, you can find all the details about the rates.

Which vehicle should I choose?

Car is ideal for:

  • Personal shopping and goods deliveries
  • Small household appliances (toasters, coffee makers, kettles)
  • Fragile items (e.g., flowers, cakes, mirrors)
  • Electronics (laptops, monitors, printers)
  • Fashion and lifestyle products

Transporter is ideal for:

  • Large furniture & household appliances (sofa, fridge, dryer)
  • Construction materials & heavy equipment
  • Commercial transport & deliveries

Why you should choose the Lalamove hourly rate option

  • Flexible transport solution: For projects lasting several hours or a whole day, such as events, relocations or construction sites, the hourly rate option offers greater flexibility.
  • 20 km included: The option already includes 20 km per hour. This is particularly beneficial if you are planning a round trip with multiple stops. In such cases, booking a vehicle at an hourly rate is often more efficient and cost-effective than making several individual bookings.
  • Waiting time is covered: If you know that loading or unloading might take longer, (e.g., to the 4th floor without an elevator), the hourly rate covers for this time better than the waiting fees of a single delivery.

What are the service coverage areas?

Our delivery partners pick up within Berlin Zones A and B, including Berlin Airport (BER), and deliver within Berlin Zones A, B, and C, as well as Potsdam. 

When does the service time start?

The service time begins when the Lalamove delivery partner arrives at the pickup location.

How long will the Lalamove delivery partner take to arrive at the pickup location?

Once an order has been successfully matched, you will be able to see an estimated arrival time on the map. Once the Lalamove delivery partner has picked up your delivery, the time listed will be the estimated arrival time to the drop off location.

Please note that the time listed is only for reference and may be changed due to unforeseeable reasons such as traffic and weather issues.
