When the payment happens at the tailgate rather than a counter, coverage, device count and who is holding the terminal all become cost questions.
A device that leans on premises Wi-Fi is the wrong tool for a driver. Payment on delivery needs its own mobile connection, and whether that data is included or billed separately is worth establishing.
What happens to a transaction when signal drops mid-payment is the question to ask, because it will happen.
Device costs multiply across a fleet in a way they never do for a single site. Ten terminals at a typical rental is a serious annual number, and it is the line most worth attacking.
Tap to pay on a phone is worth considering per vehicle, particularly where card payment is occasional rather than every drop.
Business and fleet cards are common in this trade and cost more to accept. A rate quoted against a consumer card mix will not survive your actual traffic, so have it quoted against the real thing.
