On Limotak Marketplace, the price shown to a client is not set arbitrarily and is not lowered to look competitive. It is built from two parts: the rate the independent carrier submits for that specific journey, plus Limotak’s commission on top of it.
What Actually Sets the Number
Carriers submit their own offers for a request, based on their vehicle, availability and route. Limotak does not set carrier rates and does not adjust them down to undercut competitors. The price a client eventually sees reflects what the carrier actually charges, with Limotak’s commission added on top of that base rate.
Why Clients See More Than One Number
A single request can bring in several carrier offers at different prices. One carrier might submit 100, a second 120, a third 140, and after commission the client could see three different final prices next to each other, rather than a single fixed rate. The client is shown all of them and chooses.
Why People Choose Differently From the Same List
Given the same three offers, different clients pick differently. Some look specifically for the lowest price. Others prefer a middle option, treating it as a reasonable balance. Some choose the most expensive one deliberately, on the assumption that a higher price signals less risk. None of these choices is wrong; the point of showing every option is to let the client decide based on what matters to them for that particular trip.
What Actually Affects Which Offer Gets Picked
Price is one factor, but not the only one. Clear, well-taken vehicle photos in a carrier’s offer noticeably affect whether a client selects it, particularly when two offers are close in price. A carrier with a vague or low-quality photo is easy to skip over even at a competitive rate.
How This Differs From Limotak PRO
Limotak PRO works differently: Limotak manages fulfilment directly and selects a suitable carrier on the client’s behalf, rather than presenting multiple offers to compare. Marketplace is the model built specifically around client choice, and PRO is built around managed, prioritised handling. Bookings under either model go through the same Limotak booking platform.
Summary
- Marketplace price = carrier’s own rate + Limotak’s commission
- Multiple carrier offers are shown side by side, not filtered to one
- Clients choose based on price, photos and their own risk preference
- Limotak PRO uses a separate, managed model instead of open comparison
