Consulting Rates &
Return on Investment.

All consulting and travel rates are subject to additional expenses and travel costs.

If the consultant remains in the client's country over a weekend, a daily allowance will be charged for each Saturday and Sunday, regardless of whether consulting work is performed on those days.

The applicable weekend allowance is not specified as a fixed amount in this cost sheet and will be clarified for the individual assignment.

Business-class air travel, rail tickets, taxi fares and other transportation expenses are charged according to actual costs incurred.

For overnight rail journeys, additional sleeping-car accommodation costs are included.

Flight and rail bookings must be flexible and allow rebooking if required.

Company car

When a DOBRINGER company car is used, a mileage rate of €0.85 per kilometer applies. Travel distance is calculated from Bad Zell, Austria, to the client's site.

Where a rental car is required, vehicle class LDAR is selected.

Tools and additional baggage

Additional costs may arise for transporting tools, measuring equipment or excess luggage. Such expenses are charged separately.
