Itinerary

Building the itinerary

The itinerary is the backbone of every quote. Each leg defines a movement — where the coach goes, how long it takes, how far, and what tolls apply. Arrival times cascade automatically as you fill in each leg.

1

Add a leg

Each leg has a departure time, drive time (minutes), distance (km), and optional tolls. The arrival time is calculated for you.

2

Transfer vs Standby

A Transfer leg moves passengers from A to B. A Standby leg is waiting time at a location — the coach is on the clock but not moving. Both types count toward your hourly rate calculation.

3

Mirror return

For simple A→B→A jobs, use Mirror return to duplicate the outbound legs in reverse — saves re-entering the same locations and times.

4

Insert legs

Use the insert button between legs to add a pickup or drop stop mid-route without disrupting the rest of the itinerary.

Tolls on each leg: Enter tolls per leg — not as a job total. This lets CoachQuote show which legs carry toll costs and keeps the PDF itinerary accurate for both you and the driver.
