Trip Fee

Build the trip leg by leg. Real road miles. Your fee.

The trip

Start at home base, add every place you drive to in order. Street address is optional - city and state alone gives a rough number.

What you charge for the drive

Price it by the hour (what your windshield time is worth), by the mile, or both. Only the legs you bill the customer for count.

$/hr
$/mi

Hourly uses the real routed drive time - a 40-minute drive at $60/hr adds $40. Per-mile covers fuel and wear on top.

How this works

Should a mobile mechanic charge a travel fee?

Yes. Travel is the single biggest cost difference between a mobile mechanic and a shop. A shop's customers drive to it - your shop drives to the customer. Every mile costs fuel, tires, brakes, and depreciation, and every minute behind the wheel is a minute you can't bill for wrenching. If your travel is free, you're paying out of pocket for the most convenient part of your service.

Why build the trip leg by leg?

Because real days don't look like one address to another. You leave home base, hit a job, run to the parts store, hit a second job, and drive back. Some of those legs belong on a customer's bill and some don't. This tool works the way the route builder inside Repair Rocket works: add every stop, get real driving miles for each leg, and flip each leg on or off the bill. The fee is priced only on the legs you choose to charge for. You can price the drive by the hour - decide what your time behind the wheel is worth and we bill the real routed minutes - by the mile, or both stacked together. The optional long-haul rate covers every mile past your line without doubling up on the same mile.
