Pricing rules for transport websites: combining kilometres, base price and minimum order value
Why pricing logic matters
A transport price rarely comes from one number. Distance, vehicle, effort, waiting time and minimum revenue work together. A website can reflect these rules if they are clearly defined.
Typical building blocks
- Base price for every order
- Price per kilometre or zone
- Minimum amount for small orders
- Surcharges for time slots, weekends or extras
- Manual review for special cases
Simple enough for customers
The best pricing logic is not the most complex, but the most understandable. Customers should see which details influence the price.
Important: tax details, price information and contract terms should be reviewed by suitable professionals. The website supports the process but does not replace legal review.
