What Decides the Price The factors that set escort pricing and how to compare quotes fairly. Who is watching your property when you are not? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Price follows scope: hours, people, vehicles, risk. - Short notice usually costs more. - Ask what is and is not included. Quick answer Security escort prices in Kenya depend on how long you need cover, how many people are on the team, whether vehicles are included, the route, the risk level and how much notice you give. There is no honest flat rate, so ask for a written quote that lists exactly what is included, then compare like with like.

Qyvea confirms exactly what is included before you pay. Call [0113 301 244](tel:+254113301244) or [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/254113301244?text=Hi%20Qyvea%2C%20I%27d%20like%20help%20with%20an%20escort%20quote). ## Frequently asked questions Do you charge per hour or per day? It depends on the job. Short trips and full-day or multi-day cover are quoted differently. The proposal states the basis. Is fuel included? Check the quote.
