Per-Trip Fees vs Flat Monthly Pricing for Limo Software
By Sunil Shrestha, founder · 18 years in limo & chauffeur software ·
Quick answer
Flat monthly pricing keeps your software cost the same however many trips you run, while per-trip fees grow with every booking. To compare them, multiply the per-trip fee by your busiest month's trip count and add it to the base price.
Key takeaways
- Per-trip fees make your software bill rise exactly when you are busiest.
- Flat plans are sized by chauffeur count, so cost is predictable.
- Always add payment-provider charges to either model for a true total.
How do per-trip fees work?
The vendor takes a fixed amount or a percentage of each booking. That can look cheap at low volume but scales with revenue, so the cost compounds as you grow.
How does flat monthly pricing work?
You pay a set monthly fee for a tier. LimoTrack dispatch plans are sized by chauffeur capacity: Team 5 from $149/month plus a $499 setup, Team 25 at $299/month and Team 50 at $399/month. There is no per-trip commission.
How do I calculate my real cost?
List the base monthly fee, setup, any per-trip fee multiplied by your busiest month's trips, per-driver seats, app add-ons and payment-provider charges. Compare the totals for a quiet month and a peak month.
Are there costs a flat plan does not remove?
Yes. Card-processing charges from your payment provider still apply under any model, so confirm them separately.
