The quote should be presented to a client before and the invoice after the service is delivered.<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/signup\/free\">Sign up for online invoicing software<\/a>. Forget about Word or Excel files. It&#8217;s outdated, unprofessional and simply a waste of your time. Online invoicing software such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/invoice-software-for-driving-service-business\">Invoiceberry<\/a> gives you a 100% customisable invoicing experience. Once you add a client or a service the software automatically saves it for you. Therefore you don&#8217;t need to re-enter\u00a0it again when creating a second or third\u00a0invoice.<\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/help\/clients\/add-my-client\">Add client&#8217;s information<\/a>. List the name, address, phone number and a short description if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>3. Select a date, optionally add a discount, PO number and change the invoice number.<\/p>\n<p>4. Add provided services. Include pick-up and drop-off locations and times, driver&#8217;s name, total number of hours driven, fee rates. Also, add extra fees (such as champagne provided) in this section.<\/p>\n<p>5. Add <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/help\/getting-started\/add-default-terms-conditions\">terms and conditions<\/a>, payment terms and notes to customer if you wish. I highly recommend you\u00a0to add a discount code for the next driving service in the &#8220;notes to customer&#8221; box and thank the customer for being loyal to your services.<\/p>\n<p>A final total of the invoice will be automatically generated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/invoice-software-for-driving-service-business\">Invoiceberry<\/a>. Taxes will be added to the invoice, too. The grand total amount will be in bold at the end of the invoice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving service businesses need to send quotes and invoices to their clients with a clear breakdown of services, rates and hours provided.
