Previously, undertaking off-road claimbacks has been a cumbersome process for your drivers and administrative staff.

What are Road User Charges (RUCs)?
RUCs are fees levied on vehicles based on their road usage, serving as a crucial component of funding for the maintenance and development of road infrastructure. These charges contribute to the wear and tear caused by vehicles and ensure that road users, particularly those operating heavy vehicles, contribute their fair share of the upkeep of road networks.
What are Off-Road Charges?
On the other hand, off-road charges refer to the reimbursement process for vehicles that operate off public roads, such as construction sites, private facilities, or other non-public areas. Off-road charges involve the refund or reduction of RUC for the time these vehicles spend away from public roads, acknowledging that they aren’t contributing to public road wearing during these periods. Managing off-road charges effectively is essential for optimising cost efficiency and ensuring accurate compliance with regulatory standards.
