Road Travel Payment Performance Dips Marginally: 266 Companies Average 66.5/100 in 2025

The Comparison

• 2024: 324 companies surveyed, achieving an average payment practices score of 66.8/100.
• 2025: 266 companies surveyed, achieving an average payment practices score of 66.5/100.

What This Means

While fewer companies were included in the 2025 data set, the overall change in payment performance is small; the 0.3-point decline suggests a general trend of stability rather than a significant deterioration in the sector's payment habits. With resources like a late payment calculator readily available, companies have the power to proactively address and improve payment timelines, thereby contributing to overall industry health. The lower 2025 score may reflect increased scrutiny of payment data rather than systemic issues.

One-line summary: Road travel payment performance shows a minimal drop from 66.8/100 with 324 companies in 2024 to 66.5/100 with 266 companies in 2025.
