Courier vanships, also known as racing vanships, are one of the main types of vanship featured in Last Exile. Courier vanships are small and narrow with a single, high-powered thruster. Like any vanship intended to achieve high speeds, they have stub wings, far too small themselves to provide lift. They simply act as mounts for ailerons to provide better steering, as pivoting the thruster would put undue stress on the assembly at high speeds.

When not earning their keep as couriers for the Vanship Union, vanship pilots often keep their skills sharp by racing. Many of these are rallies, taking place in towns, underground waterways and canyons. Racing vanships are permitted to utilize "boosters" (akin to Nitrous in a race car), but mechanicly more like a pulsejet. The vanships that take part in these races are typically fancifully decorated to the taste of their pilot, giving them a unique appearance.
