FAQ
Common questions
Still unsure? Our team can walk you through pricing rules, API access, or a pilot on your lanes.
Contact support- Does it use straight-line distance?
- No. Quotes use Google Directions for real driven road miles, with a live map and route preview.
- Can I embed this on my website?
- Yes — commercial plans include JavaScript embeds and iframe widgets with white-label styling.
- Which currencies are supported?
- GBP, EUR, USD, and HKD on the public calculator. Base pricing is in GBP with indicative conversion.
- How do ferry crossings work?
- Routes are analysed for sea legs; nautical mileage and ferry surcharges apply when detected and enabled.
- What is groupage pricing?
- Tick groupage for consolidated / LTL space on a shared trailer. The engine applies a configurable discount — much cheaper than a dedicated full load, subject to departure windows.
