When and how you pay for your quote will depend on the payment terms outlined in your quote. There are different payment terms offered for different jobs and from different Providers.

What are the different payment terms?
Type 1 - Truckit Pay
Truckit Pay is a secure payment option where you will pay the total quote amount upfront at the time of booking. The money will then be held in a secure holding account on behalf of your Transport Provider. Once the item(s) have been confirmed by yourself as delivered, the money will be released from the holding account to the Provider's bank account.

Type 2 - Booking Deposit
If the payment terms are one of the below 'Booking Deposit' payment terms, you will ONLY pay the Booking Deposit online at the time of booking and the remaining balance of the quote will be paid offline, directly to your provider by an agreed payment method
On Collection
Pay the Booking Deposit online via Credit Card or PayID and then pay the remaining balance of your quote directly to your Transport Provider at the time of them collecting the goods.
On Delivery
Pay the Booking Deposit online via Credit Card or PayID and then pay the remaining balance of your quote directly to your Transport Provider at the time of them delivering the goods.
Upfront*
Pay the Booking Deposit online via Credit Card or PayID and then pay the remaining balance of your quote directly to your Transport Provider upfront, before they collect the goods.
Part Payment Upfront*
Pay the Booking Deposit online via Credit Card or PayID and then pay part of the remaining balance of your quote directly to your Transport Provider upfront, before they collect the goods. Then pay the remainder upon collection or delivery.
*If the provider requests part or full payment upfront, Truckit always suggests using PayPal or Credit Card to pay the remaining balance to your Provider as these are secure payment options which provide recourse options in the unlikely event of a dispute. Always do your own due diligence before making payment to a Provider.
