Delivery Contracts

Which courier companies accept older vans and trucks?

Updated Nov 2026, with counts from our verified listings.

Short answer

It depends on the company. Many delivery companies set a minimum model year or a rolling age limit such as 10 years or newer; others state no vehicle-age rule at all. The table below lists every nationwide company in this directory by the oldest model year it says it accepts, and local listings show the same rule as a "Vehicle 2016+" badge.

No vehicle-age rule stated (40)

Not stated isn't the same as accepted: ask before you apply.

Why delivery companies set vehicle age limits

A contractor's vehicle is the company's delivery capacity. An older van is more likely to break down mid-route, costs more to insure under a commercial policy, and looks worse at a customer's door, so final-mile carriers and expedite carriers in particular set a floor on model year.

Rules come in two forms. A fixed model year ("2016 or newer") stays put. A rolling limit ("no more than 10 years old") moves every January, so a van that qualifies this year may not next year. This directory converts rolling limits to the oldest model year accepted today, which is what the table shows.

Some companies set different rules for different vehicles, for example a model-year floor for box trucks and none for cars. Those show as separate rules in the table and on each company's page.

If your vehicle is older than most companies accept

  • Start with the companies that state no vehicle-age rule. Not stated isn't the same as accepted: most still inspect the vehicle, so ask before you apply.
  • Look beyond final-mile furniture and appliance delivery, where the vehicle is at a customer's door on every stop. Local courier, lab and pharmacy routes are less customer-facing, and the metro lists on this site show each company's vehicle rule, when it states one.
  • Keep maintenance records and photos ready. A clean, well-kept older van answers the concern behind the rule, and some companies decide case by case.
  • Check the rule against your model year, not your purchase date. A 2015 van bought last year is still a 2015 to the company.
  • Rolling limits move: if you're one year inside a "10 years or newer" rule, plan for the year you'll age out.

What else the rule usually comes with

Companies that set a model-year floor usually also require commercial auto insurance and sometimes cargo coverage, and some want a plain white vehicle with no wraps or stickers. Each company's page on this site lists what it states, with a quote from its own site and the date we checked.

Questions

Can I do courier work with a 10-year-old van?

With some companies. Many state a minimum model year or a rolling age limit, and a 10-year-old van falls outside a lot of them. The table on this page shows each nationwide company's stated rule, and companies with no stated rule are listed separately.

Do vehicle age rules apply to cars too?

Usually a company's rule applies to every vehicle it accepts. Where a company sets a rule for some vehicles only, such as box trucks, the table and the company's page say so.

What does "Vehicle 2016+" mean on a listing?

The company accepts vehicles from the 2016 model year or newer. Where the company states a rolling limit instead, the badge shows the oldest model year that passes it today.

Will a company make an exception for a well-maintained older vehicle?

Some do, case by case, but the listing shows what the company states, not what it might allow. Ask the company directly, with maintenance records to hand.
