Route and timing assumptions
Distance matters, but timing windows (especially late-night returns) and number of stops often matter more. Make sure you’re comparing the same pickup/return specification.
Vehicle allocation and capacity
A larger or more premium vehicle costs more, and luggage/comfort requirements can push you into a different vehicle class. Confirm the allocated vehicle type in writing.
Waiting time and event exits
Waiting time is a common hidden factor. For venues and nightlife areas like Cardiff Bay and St Mary Street, pickups can be delayed—ask how operators price waiting and late returns.
Local constraints that impact cost
Bridge/tunnel crossings and event traffic (especially around Cardiff on big match days) can have outsized impact on timings.
