You generally need a small, medium or large van for a Yodel round, depending on the volume of parcels assigned to your specific route. Some lighter rounds or localized runs might accept standard cars or small estate vehicles, but most standard courier rounds require dedicated cargo space.

Parcel volumes change depending on the local depot and the time of year. Peak seasonal periods mean you will need enough physical room in the back for extra drop-offs.

  • Small vans like a Ford Transit Connect or VW Caddy suit lighter rounds with fewer drops.
  • Medium vans like a Ford Transit Custom or Vauxhall Vivaro handle standard daily multi-drop routes.
  • Large vans are reserved for heavy routes or bulky items, though these are less common for standard courier rounds.
