A small driveway still takes a service call.
Travel, unloading, hose setup, cleanup, and packing happen even when washing takes only a few minutes. Multiply the complete time commitment by the crew’s labor cost, then add vehicle costs, chemicals, and overhead.
Use the minimum as a floor, not a flat rate.
Apply this minimum only to jobs that fit the scope you entered. Larger jobs, difficult access, or additional treatment need a separate calculation. Revisit the floor when travel time, labor, or operating costs change.
