How it works: The surcharge percentage is calculated based on the average fuel price for the week commencing. Should the price of fuel fall, a reduction in the surcharge will reflect this adjustment automatically. The table above shows the applicable surcharge for each fuel price band.

Weekly Adjustments

Surcharge rates are reviewed and adjusted weekly based on average fuel prices, ensuring fair and transparent pricing at all times.

Downward Adjustments

When fuel prices decrease, the surcharge percentage is reduced accordingly, we never keep rates artificially high.

Clear Invoicing

Fuel surcharges are clearly shown as a separate line item on all invoices, so you always know exactly what you're paying.
