Why travel stands out separately
Travel is a clearly visible cost and many people therefore check it separately. It is not automatically unfair, but it must fit transparently into the logic of the total price.
It becomes questionable if travel appears more than once, is described as a vague flat rate, or seemed to be included in the total price and is later charged again.
What to check
- Is travel clearly shown as an individual item?
- Was it already included in the total price stated in advance?
- Is it reasonable, or does it look like a second hidden base charge?
- Are there further surcharges in addition to travel, and are they justified?
Charge travel once and transparently
A transparent fixed price removes precisely this uncertainty from the decision.
