Shanghai–Suzhou–Hangzhou Business Trip: One Car Throughout or Per City? Here's How to Calculate It

This shouldn't be decided by feel. Look at four factors:

FactorOne car throughout is betterPer city is better
Changing city every dayYesNo
Lots of luggageYesNo
Many last-minute changesYesNo
Long stay in one cityNoYes

A simple scoring

Add 1 point for each that applies: consecutive cross-city, moving daily, lots of luggage, VIP client, frequent itinerary changes, high value on driver familiarity.

4–6 points: prefer the same car and driver.
0–2 points: prefer per-city dispatch.
3 points: compare cost further.

Costs should be broken down too

One car throughout: vehicle fee, cross-city mileage, expressway, driver accommodation, driver working hours.

Per city: per-city vehicle fees, multiple-transfer risk, repeated communication cost, luggage-handling cost.

Many companies only calculate the first part and miss the organizational cost of the second.
