Urgent Transport Company
When time is of the essence, Transvolando offers dedicated express transportation services between Spain, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. We pick up in less than 2 hours from booking confirmation and deliver door-to-door via the fastest route available — no consolidations, no waiting. Your shipment travels only in an exclusively assigned vehicle.
We operate with two drivers in continuous relief under Regulation (EC) 561/2006 on driving and rest times, which allows Spain–United Kingdom transit times of 22 to 26 hours for the most in-demand corridors (Madrid–Birmingham, Barcelona–Manchester, Valencia–London). We have own express fleet: 3.5 t sprinter vans, 7.5 t rigid trucks and 24-pallet articulated semi-trailers, all with real-time GPS tracking and a 24/7 dispatch center staffed by experienced coordinators.
Our AEO Authorized Economic Operator certification speeds up border crossing: we pre-validate customs declarations (T1 transit, CDS pre-arrival declaration in the United Kingdom, SAD form for VAT deferral via PVA, EUR.1 certificate of origin when applicable) while the vehicle is en route, saving 60–90 minutes at each Eurotunnel or ferry crossing. This combination is decisive in just-in-time shipments for automotive (Renault Valladolid, Ford Almussafes) and aeronautical (Airbus in Aerópolis Seville) assembly lines.
For critical situations such as AOG (Aircraft on Ground), we coordinate with the Madrid-Barajas and Manchester airports for the last kilometer. Line manned 24/7 with standard response time of 15 minutes during business hours and 45 minutes after hours or on weekends. Spain–United Kingdom dedicated express rate usually 2.5–3.5 times the standard groupage; dedicated complete vehicle UK→Spain from €4.500.
