Key facts: per trip or per km
- Per trip
- Each pickup or drop run has a price; counted monthly
- Per km
- Kilometres run × the rate, billed monthly
- Records
- Duty slips, boarding lists and GPS history
- Rates
- Quoted per company; fixed for the term
- Invoice
- One monthly GST invoice, trip-wise details
How do the two compare?
Per-trip billing makes the cost of each extra run clear to your HR team. Per-kilometre billing follows the real distance, so it suits routes that grow or shrink.
| Per trip | Per km | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | Runs per week vary | Route lengths vary |
| What you check | Number of trips | Kilometres |
| Records | Duty slips and boarding lists | Duty slips and GPS history |
Can we mix models?
Yes. Regular routes can be on a fixed monthly price and occasional extra runs per trip, all on one invoice.
How do we decide?
Share a month of your shift pattern; we show how each model would have worked out and you choose.
