A flat per-km guess quietly eats your margin.
Most operators price transport from memory: a round number per kilometre, maybe a little padding. Then reality sends the invoices — and they never match the quote.
The transport line never matches reality.
Margin death by a thousand cuts — eighteen here, forty there, never large enough to chase, never small enough to ignore.
The hills were costing you quietly.
Price a mountain route like a flat one and every climb comes in short. Tourical prices hilly drives for what they really cost — so the steep days stop quietly eating the trip's margin.
A minivan and a coach cost the same road differently.
Fuel use, tolls and parking all depend on the vehicle. Pick the one running the leg and every number re-prices to it.
Set the fuel use for each vehicle, by season if you need — a winter figure and a summer one. Anything left blank falls back to your fleet default.
Five steps from two stops to a cost line.
You drop two stops into the itinerary. Tourical does the rest in a moment and writes a number you can defend on a sales call.
Drop in two stops
Add two stops to the itinerary. That's all Tourical needs to price the drive between them.
Real distance, real time
It works out the actual road distance and live drive time — what the journey really takes, not a flat per-km guess.
The true fuel cost
Fuel is priced for the route and the vehicle, at local prices — hilly stretches and all, so nothing comes in short.
Tolls & parking, added
Toll roads, road stickers and old-town parking are added for you, at the right rate for the vehicle's size.
Straight onto the quote
Every drive's real cost lands on the quote line — the empty run out and the trip home included.
Questions operators actually ask.
Straight answers about where the numbers come from and how far to trust them.
Where do the distance and drive time come from?
From real maps, looked up for each drive leg. You get the actual road distance and live drive time, including current traffic — not a straight-line estimate or a flat per-kilometre table.
Do hilly routes get priced accurately?
Yes. A mountain route costs more to drive than a flat one, and Tourical prices it that way — so a steep itinerary comes in at its real cost instead of quietly running short. Easy, flat drives are priced low too, so you only ever quote what the route really costs.
Are the tolls and road stickers accurate?
Tolls and road stickers are estimated for the route and the vehicle's size, then re-checked when the route is locked. We do not promise a figure to the cent — we give you a number you can defend and show every assumption behind it.
Does it handle the empty first leg and the run home?
Yes. The empty run from your depot to the first pickup, and the leg home afterwards, are both costed and written as their own lines — so the margin you see is the margin you keep.
What if my vehicle is unusual?
Set the fuel use on the vehicle itself, and by season if you want a separate winter and summer figure. Anything you leave blank falls back to your fleet default, so nothing is ever costed at zero.
Does every quote cost extra to run?
No. Once a route is priced, Tourical remembers it — so the next quote for that journey, and the fifty after it, are instant. It only re-checks a route when the saved price has gone stale.
