Road Travel Payment Trends: 2023 vs 2024
Road Travel Payment Practices: Scores Dip Marginally in 2024 (66.8/100 vs 67.2/100)
The Comparison
- 2023: The payment performance of 310 road travel companies was assessed, achieving an average score of 67.2 out of 100.
- 2024: The assessment expanded to include 324 road travel companies, with the average score declining slightly to 66.8 out of 100.
What This Means
The slight decrease in the average payment score, from 67.2 to 66.8, indicates a marginal deterioration in payment practices within the road travel sector, despite an increase in the number of companies assessed; while the expansion suggests greater data breadth, the minor decline in average performance warrants closer examination to identify any underlying trends. Businesses concerned about late payments should use a late payment calculator to determine any associated charges.
