Why is there an additional charge for single drivers, i.e. an extra 10%?

In general there are two persons in a vehicle, so a tour of 15 vehicles consists of 30 Persons. Sometimes one in five vehicles is occupied by one person, sometimes during the whole trip only one.

Some charges like meals, entry costs are subject to the head count, but the group strength might be a factor.  Other charges are depending on the unit, i.e. parts of the overnight payments or fees for local permits and administration. These are more often paid per vehicle and not per person.

Instead of giving the majority of the „two-per-vehicle“ people a disadvantage by making a mixed calculation we are simply passing on the additional costs. As a rule of thumb we charge 10%, in certain trips that involve high vehicle charges (i.e. Singapore Tour) the price is calculated accordingly.
