Tilausajo

Tilausajo is a Finnish term for an on-demand or charter transportation service in which a vehicle and driver are hired for a specific trip or itinerary, rather than operating on a fixed public schedule. The service is used for private transfers, group travel, airport runs, events, tours, and other occasions where a dedicated vehicle is needed.

Typically, tilausajo involves vehicles ranging from taxis and vans to minibuses and coaches, chosen to fit the number of passengers and the planned route. The booking is usually made in advance through a transport company or online platform, with details such as pickup point, destination, timing, and any stops or stops. Pricing may be fixed for the trip, or calculated based on time, distance, and waiting time; some operators offer day or package rates for tours or events. Refunds and cancellations vary by provider.

Unlike regular metered taxi rides, tilausajo emphasizes exclusive use of the vehicle for the duration of the trip, with a pre-agreed route and schedule. Some trips may be billed per kilometer or hour, while others use flat rates for certain services or distances. Additional services, such as multilingual drivers, guided tours, or special accommodations, can be requested in advance.

Regulation and safety are governed by national transportation laws. Operators typically require appropriate licenses for passenger transport, vehicle insurance, and adherence to safety standards. Passengers should confirm pricing, terms, and cancellation policies before booking.
