Fuel surcharge

Iron Mountain applies a monthly adjusted fuel surcharge to customer invoices. Adjustments to the fuel surcharge are effective from the first of each month and updated on this web page approximately two weeks prior to the effective date.

The fuel surcharge is indexed to the consumer price in Euros of diesel fuel inclusive of duties and taxes. Within Europe this is measured by the European Commission Directorate General for Energy and Transport and published in the Oil Bulletin which can be accessed here.

Fuel Surcharge rate table

Fuel surcharge percentages and thresholds are subject to change without prior notice. In addition, if the diesel fuel price fluctuates beyond the parameters set out above, the table will be updated.

What you will see on your bill

We adjust fuel surcharges monthly—up or down—as fuel prices change. Changes are applied at the end of each month and are reflected on the invoice as a separate line item.

Examples

1. Assume that your contracted trip charge is dh50.00 and the monthly average diesel per litre price is dh3.29. Your fuel surcharges rate would be 6.00%. In sterling terms, that would be dh50.00 per trip X 6.00% = dh3.00 per trip surcharge.
2. If the monthly average Diesel price decreased to dh2.50/litre for a measurement month, the surcharge would decrease to 5.00%. In sterling terms, that would be dh50.00 per trip X 5.00% = dh2.50 per trip surcharge.
3. Conversely, if the monthly average Diesel price increased to dh4.00/litre for a measurement month, the surcharge would increase to 6.50%. In sterling terms, that would be dh50.00 per trip X 6.50% = dh3.25 per trip surcharge.
