# Employee transport pricing: per vehicle, per km or per trip Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels prices Sanand company transport in three ways: a fixed monthly package per vehicle, per-km billing at the published rates, or per trip for occasional runs. All are charged per vehicle, not per head, on a monthly GST invoice. This guide shows which suits which pattern. - Per vehicle, not per head - Monthly packages on quote - Published per-km rates ItemIn the contractSedan₹12/kmErtiga₹13/kmInnova Crysta₹18/kmMonthly packageQuoted per companyBasisPer vehicle, not per head Tempo Traveller and bus rates are quoted on call. Long contracts and many vehicles get better rates, quoted per company. ## How is employee transport priced? Per vehicle, in one of three ways: a fixed monthly package for a vehicle on a set routine, per-km billing at ₹12 (sedan), ₹13 (Ertiga) or ₹18 (Innova Crysta), or per trip for occasional runs. Because the charge is per vehicle, the bill does not drop when fewer employees ride, and it does not rise when more do. - **3**: Pricing models - **₹12/km**: Sedan rate - **Quote**: Monthly packages - **Per vehicle**: Never per head Pricing is where most transport tenders go wrong. A price per head looks simple but hides what really drives cost: the number of vehicles and the kilometres they cover. When transport is priced per vehicle, those drivers are visible on the invoice (how many cars, which routes, how many kilometres, which trips fell in the night window), so cost can be cut by redesigning routes instead of by squeezing the vendor until service drops. ## Which pricing model fits which pattern? The more predictable the routine, the better a fixed monthly package fits. The more the kilometres vary, the fairer per-km billing is. Fixed routine ### Monthly package per vehicle - One price per vehicle per month - Hours and km limits set to your routine - Easy to budget and approve - Best for daily shift routes - Paid even on quiet days Variable distance ### Per-km billing - Published rates: ₹12, ₹13, ₹18 per km - Pay for kilometres actually driven - Every trip listed on the invoice - Harder to budget exactly Occasional ### Per trip - For visitors, airport runs, errands - Minimum fare per booking (₹1,000 sedan) - Booked on the same account - Adds up if used daily ## What is charged on top of the base price? The same items in every model. Writing them into the contract avoids surprises on the first invoice. | Item | How it is charged | | --- | --- | | Tolls, parking, state tax | At actual cost | | Trips starting 10 PM to 6 AM | +20% | | Waiting beyond 30 minutes | ₹100 per hour | | Outstation or full-day use | 300 km a day minimum, ₹300 driver allowance | | Tempo Traveller, bus | Quoted on call | In a monthly package, how night trips and waiting are treated can be built into the package price instead; we agree this per company. ## Pricing questions From finance and procurement teams. ### Why do you not charge per employee? A vehicle and driver cost the same whether four or six people ride, so pricing per vehicle is the honest basis; your bill also stays stable when attendance changes. ### Can you publish your monthly package price? No single price fits every routine. Packages depend on the vehicle, hours and kilometres, so we quote each in writing. ### Can we switch models later? Yes, at renewal or as the agreement allows. The monthly reports show which model would have cost less. ### Do long contracts cost less? Yes. Long contracts and multi-vehicle requirements get better rates, quoted per company. ## Related contract guides - [Estimating transport cost](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/employee-transport-cost.html): A worksheet for HR and finance. - [Long-term and fleet rates](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/long-term-contract-rates.html): Volume and duration. - [Monthly car rental](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/monthly-car-rental.html): One car, one driver. - [All contract guides](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/corporate-contracts.html): The full list. **Short general answers in our [Knowledge Hub](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/)** - [How do you calculate charges when employee attendance is lower than expected?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/corporate-accounts/charges-when-attendance-is-low/) - [How can an industrial company request an employee transportation quotation?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/how-to-get-a-corporate-transport-quote/) - [Do you charge per kilometre or offer fixed trip prices?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/fares-and-payment/per-km-or-fixed-price/) **Written by [Vaibhaviba Bhavsinh Solanki](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/author/vaibhaviba-bhavsinh-solanki.html)**, owner of Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels: GST and MSME registered, 8+ years in business, with cars based near Sanand and an Ahmedabad office in Ghatlodiya.
