Black Car and Limousine Rates

Every trip is quoted before you book: a flat rate for airport transportation and set destinations, or an hourly rate when the car is at your disposal. Your quote itemizes the fare, tolls and any extras you request, so you know the price before you confirm.

We never charge surge or peak prices: your agreed fare does not increase because of rush hour, weather or demand on the day. Seasonal rates apply during certain holiday periods and are included in your quote before you book.

How Your Trip Is Priced

A Flat Rate, an Hourly Rate, or a Custom Quote

Flat Rate

A trip with an agreed route and destination, including airport transportation, local journeys and city-to-city travel. Quoted per journey, by vehicle class.

Hourly Rate

The car and chauffeur at your disposal, with a three-hour minimum, billed from the first pickup to the last drop-off. Extensions are charged in whole hours. Waiting and several stops are included within the reserved hours.

Custom Quote

Weddings, events, multi-vehicle days and long-distance trips are quoted for your full itinerary.

What Your Quote Includes

In the Fare, and Quoted Separately

In the Fare

The vehicle, the chauffeur, fuel, flight tracking on airport pickups where flight-status data is available, and the included waiting allowance. Quoted prices include any applicable taxes; no tax is added to the quote. No booking fee, card-processing fee, service fee or fuel surcharge, ever. Congestion charges are covered by us.

Quoted Separately, Before You Confirm

Tolls, itemized. Extras you request: meet-and-greet inside the terminal at $30 plus airport parking at cost; child seats at $30 for a regular seat and $10 for a booster. Additional stops on a flat-rate journey are included in your quote. Stops within the reserved hours of an hourly booking carry no separate stop charge.

Not in the Quote

Gratuity. It is not included, is entirely at your discretion, and is never added automatically.

After You Book

When Additional Charges Apply

Waiting Beyond the Allowance

Airport pickups include 30 minutes for domestic flights and one hour for international flights, measured from arrival at the gate where the flight can be tracked, or from the booked pickup time otherwise. Other pickups include 15 minutes. On a flat-rate trip, waiting beyond the allowance is charged at the hourly rate for your vehicle class, for the exact minutes waited; on an hourly booking it is included in the reserved hours.

Changes During the Trip

A stop added during the trip is quoted before it is added, not billed as a surprise afterward. Hourly extensions are charged in whole hours.

Cancellations and No-Shows

Sedan and SUV bookings can be cancelled without charge at least four hours before pickup. Sprinter bookings have separate windows. Weddings, events and multi-vehicle bookings are cancelled on the terms in their quote. A no-show is charged the full fare. An airline-cancelled flight is not charged.

Cleaning

A cleaning fee, usually starting from $250, applies where a vehicle needs more than routine cleaning after a trip.

Seasonal Rates

Holiday Periods

A few well-known holiday periods, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year, carry a seasonal rate. It is part of your quote and agreed before you book. This is not surge pricing: the rate is set by the season, not by demand on the day, and it never changes after you confirm.

Before You Book

How Do I Get a Quote?

Provide your pickup, destination, date and time, passenger count and luggage. Review your fare, including itemized tolls and any requested extras, before completing your booking.

How Do I Pay?

Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, or cash. An itemized receipt is emailed once the trip is completed.

Is Gratuity Included?

No. Gratuity is entirely at your discretion and is never added automatically.

Do Prices Differ by Vehicle Class?

Yes. Flat rates and hourly rates are quoted by class: business sedan, luxury sedan, business SUV, luxury SUV and Sprinter van. The luxury tier carries the same passengers and luggage as the business vehicle of the same size at a higher rate.
