Transportation Service Charges (Records Storage)

Transportation services are shown on your invoice as a trip charge and as a handling charge.

The Trip Charge represents the base cost of making the Transportation Visit itself.  Each Trip Charge shown on your invoice will note the service level requested.  For example, “Trip Charge – Rush.”

Trip Charges may include additional applicable charges based on distance from an Iron Mountain facility or your presence in certain metropolitan areas.  The tables below contain these distance-based and metropolitan area or “metro-zone” charges.  While a Trip Charge may include either of these charges, no service location will be assessed both distance and metro-zone charges for the same Transportation Visit.

Charges based on distance from an Iron Mountain facility are calculated using the following table:

An additional charge of $20/trip is assessed on Transportation Visits in the New York City metropolitan area and an additional charge of $15/trip is assessed on Transportation Visits in the following metropolitan areas:

To illustrate the effect of these distance and metro-zone charges, consider Corp XYZ with a base Trip Charge of $30 and two service locations: Location One in the Seattle, WA metropolitan area and Location Two located 60 miles away from an Iron Mountain facility. Location One’s Trip Charge for a next day delivery is $45 and Location Two’s Trip Charge for a next day delivery is $66. These Trip Charges will appear on Office XYZ’s Schedule A and invoices (as applicable) as “Next Day Delivery, Zone Metro” and “Next Day Delivery, Zone 3”, respectively.
