f) For long-distance quotes, a transit fee is provided. This is based on the distance between the pickup and destination addresses. The fee will include all applicable ferry, toll, and other road charges, as well as being inclusive of all other running costs. Unless full addresses are provided in the initial quote request, this transit fee is subject to change, once the correct addresses are taken into account.
