6 Configure the price per kilometer

The price per kilometer is one of the variables used to establish the cost of a trip. It is a fixed cost applied to each kilometer traveled.

If you don't know what amount to set, you can use your vehicle's consumption and fuel price:

  • Consumption — e.g.: 6 L/100km
  • Fuel price — e.g.: 1.80 EUR/L
  • Calculated price per km — e.g.: 0.108 EUR/km

Co-oto automatically calculates the price per km from these values, but you can adjust it manually.

7 Configure fixed costs (optional)

Fixed costs are another variable for establishing the cost of a trip. They are distributed among all users according to their usage.

Some costs are calculated pro rata based on time of use, others pro rata based on distance traveled.

Here are the configurable categories:

  • Liability and comprehensive insurance
  • Other insurance
  • Vehicle tax
  • Vehicle depreciation
  • Leasing
  • Parking fees
  • Flat rate amount
  • Miscellaneous expenses
