Marketplace Pickup with a Van: What You Get for $99/Hour

What $99/Hour Actually Includes

The Marketplace pickup rate is $99/hour, and unlike most "van" listings, that price includes both the van and a vetted driver-pro. Here's the full breakdown so you can budget accurately.

Included in the $99/Hour

• A cargo van (or box truck, sized to the item) and the fuel.
• One background-checked driver-pro who loads and unloads.
• Furniture blankets, a dolly, and straps.
• Disassembly of items that need it to fit the van (and reassembly at delivery).
• Careful placement in the room you choose.

The 2-Hour Minimum

The booking starts with a 2-hour minimum ($198) to cover the van, the driver, and travel to you. Most Marketplace pickups fit comfortably — a short drive, one load, one unload.

What Can Push Past 2 Hours

• A pickup and delivery more than 10 miles apart.
• A walk-up of more than two flights at either end.
• Multiple stops (two sellers, then your apartment).
• Oversize freight that needs a box truck instead of a van.

What's Not Included

• Long carries over 75 feet from door to van (some jobs add a fee).
• Tips (15–20% is standard in NYC).
• Storage — the van doesn't hold items overnight.

How to Stay in the Minimum

Pick a seller close to your apartment, confirm the item is ready, reserve both elevators, and have cash or payment ready for the seller. A prepared pickup almost always finishes in 2 hours.
