*Travel Charges
Our travel charge is calculated by zone, based on distance from our depot at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki. Jobs within 10km sit in Zone 1 and are charged a flat $30 + GST, with rates rising slightly for each zone beyond that.
If we need to return for a second visit on the same job, we’ll only charge travel once per day — so back-to-back visits within the same job on the same day won’t cost you twice.
Questions About Your Travel Charge?
If anything on your invoice doesn’t look right, just give us a call. Every vehicle in our fleet is GPS-tracked, so we can quickly pull up the exact route and timing for your job and talk you through it.
