The 'From' Prices on the Homepage: What They Mean

Updated 3 min read

A price on a homepage with the word "from" in front of it can read as vague, or worse, like the real number is going to turn out higher once you actually try to book. That's a reasonable worry, given how that phrase gets used elsewhere — but here it means something specific and honest, and it's worth spelling out exactly what.

This guide explains what the homepage figures actually represent, and why the number you see once you enter your real address is the one that matters.

"From" means a Standard-category example, not a floor with room to climb

The prices shown on the homepage are examples in the Standard vehicle category, for a representative route — they're not a lowball figure designed to be beaten once you're further into booking. "From" is doing an honest job here: it's telling you this is roughly the shape of the price for that kind of trip, in that category, before you've told us your exact address.

Why the exact address changes the number

Every fixed price is calculated from the actual road distance and time to a specific address, not a zone or a postcode area. Two addresses that both sound like "central Stockholm" or "near Uppsala" can be genuinely different distances apart, and the price reflects that difference precisely rather than rounding both into the same bracket.

That's why the homepage figure is a starting reference, not a number you can expect to see unchanged once you enter where you're actually going — it was never meant to be that number, and being upfront about that is the whole point of the word "from".

How to get your actual price

Enter your real pickup and drop-off addresses, choose the vehicle category your trip needs, and the price shown at that point is the fixed, final one — the number you'd actually pay, agreed before you book, not an estimate that can move afterward.

Why we show a homepage figure at all

A representative example is still useful before you've entered anything — it gives a rough sense of what a typical trip in the Standard category looks like, which matters for a first-time visitor trying to get oriented before diving into the specifics of their own address.

It's meant as an honest starting reference, not a lure meant to be revised upward once you're further into booking — which is exactly why the real, final price is always shown clearly before you're asked to pay anything.

Questions people ask before booking

Why does the homepage say 'from' instead of a fixed number?

The homepage figures are Standard-category examples for a representative route, shown before you've entered your exact address. Your real price is calculated once you do.

Will my actual price be higher than the homepage figure?

It depends entirely on your specific addresses and chosen vehicle category — it isn't designed to climb from the homepage number, which was always just a representative example.

Why do two addresses in the same area show different prices?

The price is calculated from the actual road distance and time to your exact address, not a general area, so two addresses that sound similar can genuinely differ.

How do I see my actual, final price?

Enter your real pickup and drop-off addresses and choose a vehicle category — the price shown at that point is the fixed price you'd pay, agreed before you book.

Does the vehicle category affect the homepage comparison?

Yes — the homepage examples are for the Standard category specifically. A larger category like SUV/XL or Minibus will show a different price once you select it for your actual trip.
