Pricing method

Flat rate from the cumulative dent count

WE-PDR calculates the way hail damage is settled: dents don’t start from zero for each panel — they add up across the whole vehicle, and the cumulative count sets the price tier from the flat-rate table.

Pricing method
Flat rate from the cumulative count
  • Total for the whole vehicle
  • Tiers every 10 dents
  • Above 100 dents
  • Size ranges

When counting “panel by panel from zero”, the same number of dents spread over several panels gives a different price than on a single panel. The cumulative count removes this problem: dents up to 40 mm from the whole vehicle go into one number, which selects the tier in the flat-rate table (tiers every 10 dents). That’s why the price of a single dent falls as the damage gets bigger.

Above 100 dents, a fixed amount is added for each additional dent — PLN 13.50 net in the default price list. Larger dents (41–70 mm and over 70 mm) are charged as a per-dent surcharge, and aluminium and painting modify the rate according to clear rules. All amounts come from the price list, which each company can tailor to its needs.

Key capabilities

Total for the whole vehicle

Dents up to 40 mm add up globally, not separately for each panel.

Tiers every 10 dents

A flat-rate table from 1–10 to 91–100 dents — the tier is selected automatically.

Above 100 dents

A fixed amount from the price list is added for every dent beyond 100.

Size ranges

Up to 40 mm within the flat rate; 41–70 mm and over 70 mm as a per-dent surcharge.

Material and paint

Aluminium and painting modify the rate without changing the tier.

Your own price list

You can override the default rates with your company’s price list.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Counting the dents

    The system adds up dents up to 40 mm from all panels of the vehicle.

  2. Step 02

    Selecting the tier

    The cumulative count selects the right tier in the flat-rate table.

  3. Step 03

    Surcharges and modifiers

    Surcharges for size, aluminium, painting and dents above 100 are added.

Frequently asked questions

Why aren’t dents counted separately for each panel?

Because the same damage spread over several panels would then give a different price than if it were concentrated on one. The cumulative count gives a result that doesn’t depend on how the dents are distributed across the body.

How much does a dent above 100 cost?

In the default price list, PLN 13.50 net for each dent beyond 100. A company can change this rate in its own price list.
