Post your item with a photo plus pickup and dropoff addresses, and Vanute matches you with the nearest available ute or van driver in Melbourne. You see the driver, their vehicle and ETA, and track the delivery live. Most jobs are matched in minutes.
The driver fee depends on item size and distance — typically around $60 for a medium item like a mattress or desk, around $90 for a large item like a fridge or couch, and $130+ for extra-large items such as a piano or spa, plus 30c/km on longer runs. Vanute adds a flat $11.99 service fee. You pay the driver by cash or PayID on delivery, and the $11.99 by card when you post the job.
Yes — that is exactly what Vanute is built for. Bought a fridge, couch or mattress on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree in Melbourne? Post the pickup and dropoff addresses and a nearby ute or van driver collects it from the seller and delivers it to your door.
Large and bulky goods: fridges, washing machines, mattresses, couches and sofas, TVs and desks, wardrobes, dining tables, gym equipment, garden items, building materials and other large items that will not fit in a normal car.
Vanute currently operates across metropolitan Melbourne and Victoria — inner city, northern, southern, eastern, western and bayside suburbs. See our service areas page for details. We are expanding to other Australian states soon.
You pay the driver fee directly to the driver by cash or PayID when your item is delivered. Vanute’s flat $11.99 service fee is charged to your card (Apple Pay and Google Pay supported) at the moment you post the job — your job only goes live to drivers once that is paid.
Most deliveries are matched within minutes and completed the same day. You can also schedule a pickup for later if that suits you better.
If you have a ute or van, sign up as a driver, add your vehicle and licence details, and start accepting delivery jobs near you. You set your own hours and are paid by cash or PayID on every delivery — and you keep 100% of the driver fee, because Vanute takes nothing out of it. There is no sign-up fee.
