Hourly vs Mileage Quote Comparator
Pricing models are not directly comparable until they use the same time, mileage and included charges. Enter figures from real written quotes to compare the arithmetic. The lower calculated subtotal is not automatically the better contract; vehicle, fees, terms and service scope still require review.

How this tool works
What the Hourly vs Mileage Quote Comparator computes, and what it cannot
What it computes
Type in the figures from two written quotes you already hold, one priced by the hour and one by the mile, including each quote's fees, and the comparator multiplies them out for the same trip: hours times hourly rate plus fees against miles times per-mile rate plus fees, then shows the difference between the two subtotals.
When to use it
Use it only when you have two real written quotes for the same itinerary. The arithmetic is simple; the value is in forcing both quotes onto the same hours, the same miles and the same list of included charges before you compare them, which is where most comparisons go wrong.
What it cannot tell you
The lower subtotal is not automatically the better contract. The comparator cannot see the vehicle, the overtime rate and increment, the minimum charge, the cancellation terms or the service scope behind each figure, and any of those can outweigh the difference it shows. We price by the itinerary and itemize the total, so you can run our figures through it directly.
When the tool has done its part, call us at 844-725-4257 or send the itinerary and we name the bus, the itemized total and the written terms.
