Pricing

Rates and What Is Included

We do not publish one national price list of limo rates, because a fare in Manhattan and a fare in Boise are not the same number and pretending otherwise would waste your time. Here is exactly how the number you are quoted is built.

How much does a limo cost?

The honest answer is that it depends on the city, the vehicle class and the length of the booking, and any site quoting you one national number for “limo prices” is guessing. What we can tell you is how the number is built, which is what this page does, and that the reservation system will quote your actual journey — a real all-in price, not a range — in a few seconds.

As a rule of thumb: a point-to-point airport transfer in an executive sedan is the cheapest way to use this service; an SUV is a step up; hourly as-directed work becomes better value than separate transfers past about four movements in a day; and stretch limo rental, party bus rental and charter bus rental are priced by the vehicle and the evening rather than by the mile.

An airport car service price is quoted the same way: a fixed all-in fare for that specific route and vehicle class, including the airport access fee, the parking and the tracked waiting time.

What every quote already includes

  • Tolls, bridge and tunnel charges on the quoted route
  • Airport access and parking fees
  • Fuel, and the chauffeur’s positioning to and from the job
  • Flight, train or ship tracking, and the complimentary wait that goes with it
  • Meet-and-greet where you selected it
  • Child seats, fitted before departure, at no charge in most markets
  • Bottled water, phone charging and a cabin at the temperature you asked for
  • The stated gratuity policy, shown before you pay

What is charged as an extra

  • Stops added on the day, at the published per-stop or per-mile rate
  • Wait time beyond the complimentary allowance, in fifteen-minute increments
  • A change of vehicle class, re-quoted before it is applied
  • Overtime on an hourly block, in fifteen-minute increments at the same hourly rate
  • Cleaning beyond normal use, and damage, at cost
  • A modest pet cleaning fee for non-service animals

Questions

Rates: frequently asked

Why is there no price list on this page?

Because a single national rate card would be wrong in most of the country. Rates are set per market and per vehicle class against local operating costs, and the reservation system quotes your actual journey in seconds. What we can publish honestly is the structure, which is what this page does.

Is the quoted fare really all-inclusive?

Yes. Tolls, parking, airport access fees and fuel are inside it, and the gratuity policy is stated on the quote. The only additions are changes you make on the day.

Do you charge more at night, in the rain or during a convention?

No surge, ever. Convention and event weeks have their own published rates set in advance because vehicles are genuinely scarce then, and you see that rate when you book rather than after.

What is the hourly minimum?

Three hours in most US markets and four in a small number of them. The desk tells you which applies to your city before you pay.

How is wait time charged?

Complimentary allowances first: 30 minutes on domestic arrivals, 90 on international, 90 on cruise disembarkation, 30 at rail stations, 15 at other pickups. Beyond that, fifteen-minute increments at the published rate.

Do you take corporate accounts on invoice?

Yes, with monthly consolidated invoicing, cost-centre and project-code allocation and trip-level reporting.

Travel Center · powered by BookingWorldwide.net

Book the flight, the hotel and the car in one place

Ground transportation is one line of a trip. The Travel Center covers the rest — flights, hotels, resorts, activities, packages and car rental — so the chauffeur is timed to the arrival that was actually booked, not the one somebody remembered.
