Founded in 1987

Inner-City Express started in 1987 as a downtown San Jose bicycle messenger service.

In a short time Inner-City Express, or ICE as referred to by most customers, expanded it’s delivery area and added vehicle deliveries. Today ICE operates 3 facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area, with its headquarters located in the heart of the “Silicon Valley”. On a daily basis ICE performs hundreds s of same day deliveries throughout California and the U.S. Inner-City Express has evolved into a leading provider of shipping and transportation solutions for Northern California.
