Choosing the right delivery vehicle greatly affects courier earnings. Smart couriers keep their costs as low as possible while picking the most efficient vehicle for the job.<\/p>

So what is the best vehicle for delivery gigs? We compared a car, bike and Vok cargo bike<\/a><\/strong> by their expenses and efficiency and found out which type of vehicle helps maximize courier earnings. <\/p>

But before we get into the details \u2013 if you\u2019re the type who knows that experience is king and haven\u2019t tried a Vok yet, book a slot HERE<\/a><\/strong> (for Tallinn Wolt couriers)*<\/p>

\"Vok
*pst! We\u2019re currently renting the bike out to Wolt couriers for 1\u20ac\/1h.<\/figcaption><\/figure>

All in all, Vok electrical cargo bike came out on top in courier earnings, convenience and traffic efficiency. <\/strong><\/p>

  • Vok has a 3x bigger cargo space than a regular bike. <\/li>
  • It\u2019s 15% faster than a car. <\/li>
  • You can use it in any weather and for as long as you want to (without your legs falling off). <\/li> <\/ul>

    Top 5 vehicles for couriers<\/h2>

    Courier net earnings depend on a variety of factors. Our calculations took into account possible rental, fuel, depreciation and other expenses related to using the vehicle. We also considered the vehicle\u2019s efficiency in city environments, as well as average courier working hours and delivery fees.<\/p>

              7 aspects to consider for a courier vehicle<\/h2>
              1. Rental fees<\/strong> \u2013 renting a car is expensive and can only be reasonable if you fully commit to the courier job. <\/li>
              2. Deprecation <\/strong>\u2013 with a personal vehicle you don\u2019t feel the depreciation until you sell it. Yet it\u2019s most definitely real. <\/li>
              3. Fuel <\/strong>\u2013 avoid cars that guzzle fuel. Average gas consumption only goes up in city traffic. <\/li>
              4. Parking <\/strong>\u2013 car parking can be expensive if you even find the parking space, to begin with.<\/li>
              5. Efficiency <\/strong>\u2013 in congested city centers or during rush hours bikes beat cars in efficiency since you can use sidewalks, dodge one-way streets and bypass traffic jams. <\/li>
              6. Driver\u2019s licence <\/strong>\u2013 you need a (locally accepted) driver\u2019s licence for a car or a motorcycle. <\/li>
              7. Physical strain <\/strong>\u2013 even though cycling is a great exercise when mileage builds up, you get tired and sore sooner rather than later.<\/li> <\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
