Variable Rate per Distance for Different Distance Intervals

In this guide, we will present a pricing rule that varies the rate per kilometer depending on the distance. Whether it’s 10 km or 100 km, the price adapts to the journey’s length.

Case: A customer requests a ride that covers a distance of 17 kilometers. With the variable rate per distance rule, you apply the rate of $3.20 per kilometer. So, the calculation is $3.20 x 17 = $54.40.

We need only 1 rule to achieve the intended result.

I will apply the rule to the BMW vehicle, as shown in the screenshots below.

Adding ‘Rule #1’

Step 1. Go to the ‘Pricing Rules’ menu and add a new pricing rule (Add New), I call it ‘Rule #1’.

Step 2. Go to the ‘Conditions’ -> ‘Vehicles’ tab and select the vehicle from the list (in my case “BMW 5 Series Long”).

Step 3. Go to the ‘Conditions’ -> ‘Distance’ tab and set the parameters as shown in the screenshot below:

Step 4. Go to the ‘Prices’ tab and set the ‘Price Source Type’ option to ‘Calculation based on distance (exact range)’. In addition, you should set all price types to ‘- Inherited -‘, so that this rule has no impact (does not reset) the prices in your configuration. See the screenshot below:

Step 5. Save the rule by clicking ‘Publish’. The rule should look like this:
