Forget about "going rates"* and quote what you need to charge to make this viable, profitable and therefore worthwhile doing?
* (I have seen many businesses fail simply because they charge the "going rate" rather than what they should be charging to maintain a viable and profitable business :-?)

As Phil said sit down work out your material costs and fitting time and what profit margin you want to add and submit a price from there dont go chase’in someone elses price.

Phill and John while I completely agree with you about costing the work properly, it certainly helps to know what the going rate is. You can decide whether the job is worth doing, if you are charging too much or indeed too little, and to arm yourself for a discussion about price with your customer.

I would imagine it depends how badly you want the job? Personally I would imagine working out what it will cost you with electric, media, printing etc, add a profit to it and you have your price, value your time. If you are going to make £50 on wrapping a double decker, is it actually worth doing the job?

Difficult to answer that on the info given, are you talking about a one off job for a private customer or a fleet of vehicles for an operator, not that I would be able to give you a price for either lol.
Point is that they would be priced very differently.
