What drives consortium pricing
Prices vary because programs are structured differently. Three factors matter most.
Per-driver vs. flat
Per-driver pricing adds up fast. A flat membership is usually cheaper past one driver.
Test fees
What you pay each time you’re selected. Lower per-test fees add up over a year.
Add-on charges
Certificates, MIS reports, and Clearinghouse handling are sometimes billed separately.
