peer agreement (net): +1rate Explanation: They can be interchangeable, but, cost is more often used for the purchase of a product, charge is more often for a service. Rate is more appropriate for charges based on time (per hour/ per day). If I understand correctly that it is for the temporary use/provision of equipment, I would suggest **daily rate** for *tarifa diaria*. |
