Boat rental cost calculator

Multiply the quoted hire rate by the hours or days, add fuel and any waiver, and split the total. Use the figures on your rental agreement.

The formula

Hire = rate × duration. Total = hire + fuel + insurance. Each share is the total divided by the number of people. Four hours at $80 an hour is $320; with $40 of fuel and a $25 waiver the total is $385, or $77 each for five people.

Ask whether the boat comes back full, and whether a late return is charged as another hour. Those rules are on the agreement, not on this page. A paper worksheet is in the Day on the Water Planner ($5 / KSh 650).
