Answer
The attached table sets out the average cost per trip provided by the VIP Transport service in each of the last financial years. These figures represent the cost charged to a Minister's office for trips. The average cost per trip has been calculated using the direct operational costs attributed to point-to-point trips undertaken by VIP Transport, together with the costs of trips delivered by approved third-party transport providers where these were used to meet service demand. The figures include both passenger transport and the transport of confidential ministerial documents. FY 2025/2026 FY 2024/2025 FY 2023/2024 Average cost per trip $88.85 $82.54 $84.34
