Price is up to you. I presume you’re just starting and these prices are your first thoughts. You have to charge cost plus profit required. Just consider, for example, a 100 mile delivery will pay you £70. It will take you 4 hours (or more) to do the round trip. It will take how much fuel for 200 miles? What other costs do you need to factor in?
For my small van I would work on that delivery costing me £50 or more. £70 gives £20 profit for four hours. When you get back, will another job come up for the other half of the day? So is it £20 profit for the day? Five days, £100 profit? Worth doing?
