What Our Customers Say
A Specialist Courier Service Designed for Guitars
Sending a guitar through a regular parcel service can feel like a gamble. Fragile, valuable, and often oddly shaped, guitars require more care than your average boxed delivery. That’s where Porta comes in.
Our guitar courier service is built for safety, flexibility, and peace of mind. Whether you’re a musician selling a vintage Strat, a parent posting a birthday gift, or a retailer needing reliable transport, we offer a better way to send guitars across the UK.
We match your job with experienced local drivers already heading that way, helping you save money, reduce emissions and protect your musical instrument every step of the journey.

FAQs – Guitar Courier UK
Can I book a guitar collection for today?
Yes. If you need urgent delivery, choose our same day or Platinum same-day service at checkout. It’s ideal for gig emergencies, last-minute sales, or fast store-to-door transport.
Does the driver know it’s a guitar?
Absolutely. When you book with Porta, the item type and special handling notes are passed directly to the driver — so they’ll be expecting a fragile instrument.
Can I include extras like a strap, pedal or amp?
Yes — just add a note when booking. If the total size/weight changes, your quote may be adjusted slightly, but we’ll always confirm pricing before collecting.
Is the delivery insured?
Yes. All guitar deliveries include standard insurance, with the option to declare higher-value items for full cover. We recommend noting the estimated value during booking.
Do you offer return shipping for trial periods or rentals?
We do. Many of our customers are retailers or hire companies offering try-before-you-buy services. Just mention return needs during booking and we’ll schedule both trips.
