While the Road Travel sector's average payment performance is notably better than the UK average, the huge gulf between the best and worst payers is striking. McLaren Automotive's score of 8.9 is nearly 92 points lower than RSA Accident Repairs' perfect score. It's also interesting that the bottom payers feature luxury brands.
Regional variations are present, although sample sizes in some areas are small. London-based companies average 74.3, significantly outperforming the overall Road Travel average of 63.5 and the national average of 50. The "Unknown" region showed a surprising high average score of 85.6, but this is based on only eight companies, making it less representative. Northern Ireland, based on a sample of only two companies, lags behind at 64.4.

Despite an overall positive average, suppliers to the Road Travel sector should do their homework, as some major players like McLaren Automotive (8.9/100) have demonstrably poor payment records compared to RSA Accident Repairs (100/100).
