Not just length. Lots of different things to factor in.
Is the snow normally heavy, wet, sticky snow, or powder?
Do you normally get 1" to 4", or do you often get more?
Is there ample room to put the snow? If you're simply plowing the snow off to the side, will it melt away before next snowfall? If not, you'll likely have a hardpack ridge that you'll have to try and put additional snow over.
Is there ample room to maneuver? Are you allowed to drive onto the lawn (IF the lawn freezes solid!)? Are there trees/bushes/gardens/bird baths/other that you have to watch for?
Is there room to turn around?
Is the driveway straight or curvy? Paved? Gravel? Grass?
With what urgency will they expect you to be out? Normally, residential plowing jobs take a backseat to commercial jobs, including the main roads. Will you have to be there before sunrise? Middle of night? At your convenience?
Do you plow only when called or will you basically plow their drive if yours also needs plowing?
How far away?
Anything besides "just plowing"? Any shoveling involved? Sidewalks to clear? Any areas where snow is not allowed to be placed?
Another thing to think about is, IF you're allowed to drive over lawn, and IF the property has septic system/drain field, will your plowing needs take you anywhere NEAR that area??
I can't offer any pricing tips as I've never hired my services out. Even when I did construction, I was lousy at bidding jobs!! I'd always bid too low.
