Delivering in Montpellier

In Montpellier, we deliver across a Métropole that lies entirely inside the ZFE, and into a pedestrianised historic centre

In all 31 municipalities, we send a vehicle allowed in the low-emission zone

The ZFE of Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole covers all 31 of its municipalities. A van with a Crit’Air 3, 4 or 5 emissions sticker, or none at all, may neither drive nor park there, every day and 24 hours a day. For each delivery, we choose a partner whose vehicle is allowed in.

We deliver to your customers in the Écusson before 10am

The whole historic centre of Montpellier is a pedestrian area, and deliveries are allowed there until 10am; in the Antigone pedestrian area, they are allowed until 11am. An authorised vehicle may not park there: it stops only for the handover. We put these destinations at the start of the round, and you know when you book if a handover cannot happen in time.

We set the collection from your fruit and vegetable wholesaler around its trading hours

At Montpellier’s wholesale market (MIN), for example, the fruit and vegetable wholesalers trade on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5am to noon, and on Thursdays from 2pm to 5pm, and these hours can vary from one wholesaler to another. We time the courier’s visit to your wholesaler’s hours, then the courier drives on to your customers without going back through a warehouse.

Local rules checked in October 2026.

Montpellier and its Métropole

From Grabels to Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, we deliver across the Montpellier Métropole

In Montpellier, two rules decide how we deliver. The first applies to the whole Métropole: the low-emission zone covers all 31 of its municipalities, and a van with a Crit’Air 3, 4 or 5 sticker is no longer allowed there. The second applies to the centre: the Écusson is entirely pedestrianised, and deliveries are allowed there only until 10am, or until 11am in Antigone. We take both into account before the courier sets off, not once they are on the road.

The drive to Garosud, Courpouyran or the Salaison park is exempt from the ZFE, the rest of the round is not

Your warehouse or workshop may be on a business park in the Métropole, at Garosud, in Saint-Jean-de-Védas or on the Salaison park in Vendargues, and your customers in the pedestrian streets of the centre. The Métropole’s order exempts the access routes to these parks from the ZFE, as it does the route to Courpouyran in Juvignac, but not the streets where your customers are: so the vehicle we send is allowed in the zone. The courier loads at your site and drives directly to them, in a vehicle that carries your goods and nothing else.

When you have several customers to deliver, we group them into a multi-drop round ordered by the city’s cut-off times: the Écusson first, before 10am, then Antigone, before 11am, and after that your customers in the rest of the Métropole. For an order to hand over within the day, our same-day delivery sends a vehicle sized to the load, from a 5 m³ van to a truck of more than 20 m³. Our team follows every delivery, every day from 6am to 10pm; in your dashboard, you follow it in real time, and the proof of delivery appears as soon as it is handed over.

The courier can load at the wholesale market’s cold store, where more than 60 distributors keep their stock

Refrigerated transport is the largest part of our business, chilled and frozen alike. In Montpellier, the courier has from 5am, when the fruit and vegetable wholesalers at the wholesale market open for trading on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, until 10am, when deliveries stop in the Écusson, to load your products and deliver to the centre; those trading hours can vary from one wholesaler to another. At the market’s refrigerated platform, more than 60 distributors and processors store food at three temperatures: if yours is there, the courier brings the vehicle to temperature, loads at its premises and hands over the orders for the restaurants in the centre first. If your central kitchen finishes production during the night, our night deliveries take over and the collection happens as production ends.

Our services in Montpellier

Two services have their own Montpellier page, and the rest of our services are available here too

Same-day delivery has a Montpellier page because we plan each handover around the ZFE and the hours of the pedestrian areas; refrigerated transport has one because our couriers collect your products from your wholesaler or your central kitchen before dawn, to deliver to the Écusson before 10am. Our other services work here just as they do everywhere we deliver.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about our deliveries in the Montpellier Métropole

My customer is in Fabrègues or Castries, outside Montpellier: do you deliver there in the same round?

Yes. Fabrègues and Castries are among the 31 municipalities of the Métropole where we deliver: we place them after the addresses in the centre, once the Écusson drops are done before 10am and Antigone’s before 11am. Beyond the Métropole, we deliver across France.

My customers are in Pignan and Cournonterral: does the ZFE apply there too?

Yes, since 1 July 2026. The ZFE first covered 11 municipalities at the heart of the urban area, including Montpellier, Lattes and Juvignac; it now covers all 31 municipalities of the Métropole, Pignan and Cournonterral included, and a van with a Crit’Air 3, 4 or 5 sticker, or none at all, may no longer drive there.

The vehicle we send is allowed throughout the zone, so we deliver to your customers in those municipalities just as we do in Montpellier.

Can you deliver to a shop in the Écusson in the afternoon?

No. In the historic centre, deliveries are allowed until 10am. So we plan the handover for the morning, and if your order is ready too late to get there before 10am, we tell you when you book.

Do you deliver in the Montpellier Métropole with a van or a refrigerated vehicle?

Become a Shippr partner courier and take jobs in Montpellier, Lattes, Castelnau-le-Lez and every municipality of the Métropole.
