Usage fee

Fares and charges are calculated based on the sum of "time-kilometer-combined fare method" and "time-based fare" and "kilometer-based fare".
For detailed fares and charges, please contact the person in charge.

・Time-based fare (* 1) + kilometer-based fare (* 2) = fare

  • ※1-hour fare = (running time + 2 hours) x hour unit price
    The "time-based fare" includes not only the actual boarding time for passengers, but also the transfer time from departure to return. In addition, it is stipulated that one hour before and after the driving time should be secured for "roll call / inspection".
  • ※2-kilometer fare = traveling kilometer (km) x kilo unit price
    The “kilometer fare” driving distance refers to the distance from departure to return.

Other notes

  • The minimum travel time is 3 hours. Even if the actual driving time is 1 hour, it will be treated the same as the driving time of 3 hours, and a time-based fare for 3 hours will be charged.
  • Fractions of running time are rounded down to less than 30 minutes and rounded up to one hour for more than 30 minutes.
  • Fractions of mileage are rounded up to 10km for less than 10km.
