Costs and expenses per vehicle

What each vehicle actually costs to run — fuel, service, tolls, fines and inspections rolled up per vehicle, over three, six or twelve months.

Available onCruiseTurbo

Every record you log against a vehicle is also a cost. The Costs section on a vehicle's profile adds them up, so you can see which vehicle is quietly eating the margin and which one is earning its keep.

Where to find it

Open a vehicle from Vehicles and scroll to Costs. The fleet dashboard carries the same roll-up across every vehicle.

What's counted

Anything you've recorded against the vehicle feeds in:

  1. Fuel and charging — every fill-up or charge you've logged.

  2. Service and maintenance — what each job cost.

  3. Tolls and fines — including the ones you've marked paid.

  4. Registration, insurance and safety inspections — the compliance you're legally required to buy.

Switch the range between 3, 6 and 12 months to see whether a number is a one-off or a trend.

Compare a vehicle against its own history rather than against the rest of the fleet. A van that costs more this quarter than last, without doing more work, is telling you something — where a van that has always cost more may simply be the one doing the long runs.

Keeping the numbers honest

The roll-up is only as complete as what's been logged. Two habits keep it useful:

  • Record the amount on every entry, even when it feels like admin. A service with no cost on it makes the vehicle look cheaper than it is.
  • Log fuel promptly. On Turbo, the AI scan reads a receipt photo straight into the form, which removes most of the excuse.

Costs need Cruise. On Drive you can still record every fuel, service, toll and fine entry — it's the rolled-up cost analysis on the vehicle profile and the dashboard that Cruise adds.
