What is an international courier?
An international courier handles cross-border shipments, from the Netherlands to destinations within the EU. The driver drives the entire route personally, from pickup address to delivery address, also across the border.
Special Transporter is based in Purmerend and drives with own vehicles to Belgium, Germany, France and other EU countries. No network, no subcontractors — one fixed driver who personally delivers your shipment.
When do you need an international courier?
Cross-border urgency
When a shipment needs to go to a neighbouring country quickly, without transshipment or delay.
Personal delivery abroad
When you want one driver to drive the entire international route and deliver personally.
Shipments that cannot go via a network
When your shipment is too large, too valuable or too specific for standard international transport.
Direct route desired
When a direct route without a hub is preferred over network transport.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries do you drive to?
We drive to any destination within the European Union. Contact us for your specific destination.
Does one driver drive the entire route?
Yes. For international trips, one fixed driver drives the entire route, from pickup address in the Netherlands to delivery address abroad. No changing drivers.
What about customs?
For shipments within the EU, there are generally no customs duties. For shipments to non-EU countries such as Switzerland or the United Kingdom, customs documents may be required. We discuss this on request — no unconfirmed customs services.
Can I track my shipment across the border?
Yes. All our vehicles are equipped with GPS. You track your shipment in real-time, also across the border.
Is a request a confirmed booking?
No. A request is a request. Your transport is only confirmed after we have personally confirmed it with you.
