About this course
This course follows a fictional coach and bus charter operator through the numbers behind every quote. You build the cost base of a coach, turn it into rates per kilometre and per hour, cost a typical day trip and apply a minimum charge, add the empty kilometres to and from the depot, check planned duties against an invented rule set with IF and AND, quote day trips, transfers and multi-day tours with driver nights and seat prices, choose the smallest suitable vehicle with MINIFS and XLOOKUP, count overlapping bookings and partner hire, and finish with profit and utilisation per vehicle and a monthly chart.
