💰 Call Out Fees 💰
I had a customer enquire about fees so would like to be transparent for my followers.
-----------------
Due to my situation, when I am available, I'm able to offer FREE call outs to the immediate Curra area.
Outside of these hours or if I'm unavailable, I refer the calls to Gympie Snake Catcher who has his own set of fees.
------------------
So why do catchers charge?
- They charge to offer a 24/7 service, cover fuel, vehicle maintenance, insurance fees etc.
What is an average call out fee in the seq region?
- An average call out fee is around the $100 mark. With most $80 - $120. (Daylight hours).There are extra charges for things such as outside hours - late nights, roof inspections (due to the risk) and long distances.
But if you are getting charged well north of $150 for a standard call out, it's day time, and live in a built up area, do some calling around. There are usually cheaper alternatives without losing quality.
With so many snake catchers these days, you're blessed for options in the cities!
And while you're there use this time to appreciate those who can do it for free, because it's a rare thing these days.
