Baggage Transfer

We provide baggage transfer on the Sir Walter Scott Way, the Borders Abbeys Way and the eastern section of the Southern Upland Way throughout the walking season. In addition we can fulfil transfers on most other routes by using our preferred baggage transfer contractors. So whatever the route why not contact us for the service or a quotation.

The direct provision of baggage transfer has grown significantly and to address those who only have luggage transfer requirements we have established a dedicated website www.baggagetransfer.co.uk, or you can still use this site to find details, costs and to make reservations.

General Conditions
The item is defined as a single piece of luggage not exceeding 18kg. If the weight is exceeded Walking Support is entitled to charge a supplement.
The luggage needs to be available for collection in the morning by 9.15 am and we will have it delivered to the next address by 5.30 pm at latest, but we would hope that this could be in many cases much earlier.
The responsibility for insurance of the luggage in transit rests with the individual and not with the carrier. We therefore recommend that you do not include items of value or items that are easily damaged. Walking Support can advise you regarding low cost comprehensive holiday insurance that includes luggage protection.
A deposit of 25% of the cost is required at the time of booking. This is non refundable. The balancing sum must be paid in advance of the start date or, with agreement with Walking Support, be available for collection with the bag/s at the first pick-up point.
In the case of large groups special rates can be quoted.
The service operates between Easter and the end of September. Services outside this period will be considered dependent on demand.
