Website fuel surcharge notice templates
New customers should see a surcharge before they book, not on the invoice. A short banner on your booking page plus an FAQ entry covers it.

Why is there a fuel surcharge? Fuel is one of our biggest costs, and prices have risen sharply. Instead of raising our base prices, we've added a temporary surcharge of $[amount] per [job] that covers only the added fuel cost. We review it [monthly] against the U.S. average fuel price and will reduce or remove it as prices fall.

Website notice questions
01Do I need a website notice if customers get an email?
Existing customers get the email; new customers find you through your website. A notice there prevents surprises for people who've never heard from you.
02Should I show the surcharge in online booking totals?
Yes, if your booking tool allows it. Totals that change at checkout cause abandoned bookings and bad reviews.
