What is agreed before departure

A mission to Fria is not negotiated on the road. The quote fixes in advance the included mileage, fuel, the driver's per diem and accommodation, and the number of stages. That is what allows your finance department to commit the spend.

  • insurance and roadworthiness up to date, checked before every up-country mission;
  • a second spare wheel and a first-aid kit on board;
  • a driver who has already run the route, reachable throughout the mission;
  • fuel, per diem and driver accommodation priced in the quote;
  • compliant invoice (TIN, VAT), bank transfer at 30 or 60 days by agreement.

Safety and driving rhythm

Our drivers do not drive at night on intercity routes, and any run over eight hours is split into two stages. This is not a commercial constraint but the safety rule most international organizations already apply to their own teams — and the reason a mission to Fria is planned on real travel time rather than map distance.
