$$$ Pricing & Fee Structure of LimousineDrive.com  ^TM $$$

---

We confidently claim to have the BEST, most EQUITABLE & COMPETITIVE pricing structure in the Entire Bay Area!
It is as simple as 1-2-3:

NO.	TOPIC	DETAILED DESCRIPTION	CLIENT'S INITIALS
1	Base Rate	You would only pay for service time at a rate of 1$/minute or 60$/hour.
2	Admin. Fee	There would be a 10%-20% administrative fee which would cover applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, entrance fees, parking, gate fees, & credit card handling & processing.
3	Gratuity	Gratuity of 20%-30% will be added accordingly, which is for our chauffeurs' real wages!
3a	Commute Time	Travel time to & from your destination WILL apply, at the rate of 60$ or 90$ per hour; depending on time of day & other factors, unless waived in WRITING ONLY.  You may calculate such charges quite easily by mapping our location from here to your destination.  It is always safe to assume the adverse traffic conditions.
3b	Total Charge	Based on the above mentioned breakdowns (travel time + service time usage + administrative fee + gratuity) your hourly service charge would be (60$+6$+12$) = 78$/hour to (60$+12$+18$) = 90$/hour, respectively. The variation depends on the itinerary, number of passengers, etc.
3c	Airport & FasTrak (Bridge Toll)	Effective 6/7/8, there would be 5$ charge for passing thru bridge tolls, as well as any airport runs.  Hence, an airport run, say from East Bay, would be a min. of 88$ (60$+6$+12$+5$+5$).
3d	Minimum Service	As a rule of thumb, all sedan driven events have a 1-hour and stretch charters have a 2-hour minimum service charge.
3e	Late PM or Early AM Service	Rides/Tours beginning or ending between midnight till 6:00 a.m. will have an over-time rate, i.e. the service rate would be 90$/hour. Hence, the total charges could range from (90$+9$+18$)=117$/hour to (90$+18$+27$)=135$/hour. The same is true for ANY event that would last longer than 8 hours.
3f	Long Distance Jobs	Long distance (>100 miles), weekend & transfer trips will be charged at least the overtime rate or 2$/mile or 2$/minute, whichever is higher.
3g	Overtime Rate	Overtime rate (1 1/2 times the quoted figure) will apply to ALL events that exceed the reserved time (i.e. If you reserve an event for 6 hours, but end up using 8 hours of service, the remaining two hours will be billed 1 1/2 times the original amount and the same will apply to administrative fee and gratuity). Therefore, it is in your best interest to plan an event accurately.
3h	Last Minute Calls	Last minute service requests (less than 4-hour notice), CAN be charged 2$ a minute plus commute time.
3i	Payment Methods	Acceptable forms of payment are: Credit Cards (American Express, Visa, Master Card, Discover), Personal or Business Checks, Cashier's Check, Money Order, Bank Wire Transfer, Traveler Cheques, Cash (foreign currency is welcome!) and lastly U$!
3j	Late Invoices	We will charge a monthly late fee of 10% of an invoice which is not paid within 30 days, from date of service, until paid in full.  NO EXCEPTION!
4	No Carding Policy	Notice to Our Colleagues & Customers:  Your service would be 100% FREE, if in case of sub-contracting our service to/from another vendor either: They would promote their business via handing out a business card or ANY lead information or conversely if ANY of our staff engages in such immoral activity.
4a	Cellular or Mobile Calls	You may make FREE local or long distance calls within the 48 contiguous states, while cruising with us. We know of no limousine company that would offer you this service for free.
5	Corporate Accounts	Corporate accounts are welcome & negotiated on a case by case basis.  We would delightfully furnish you ample documents about our licenses, permits, insurance, etc., in addition to professional references.
6	Smoking & Drinking Alcohol, and Illegal Drugs	ALL our cars/fleet is 100% non-smoking-no-pet environment.  Due to absorption of odor, we will charge a minimum of 4-hour service (240$) for smoking in our limos. We would have to remove the smoked car from service and take to our designated facility.  PLEASE respect the privacy and comfort of other guests/visitors by not indulging yourself in smoking while riding with us.  POSITIVELY no illegal drugs are allowed to be brought in, nor smoked in. Similarly, we will charge a minimum of 8 hour service (480$) per person for vomiting!  We are adding this "harsh penalty" after learning from the experience of our colleagues, that a simple irresponsible behavior can potentially ruin everyone (the client and the limousine company)'s entire day and night. PLEASE drink responsibly!
7	Unacceptable Conducts	WARNING: ANY abusive demeanor, conduct, use, damage or illegal activity, at our discretion, would result in highest possible charges being levied against the client, not to mention immediate disembarkment & ceasing of service.
9	Check Honor	If you place a stop payment on a check that we honored, we will NOT serve you anymore in the future. The same is true for a charge-back on a credit card.  You are HIGHLY urged to resolve any discrepancies at the onset, rather than letting it stretch into a conflict.
10	Legal Fees	You explicitly agree to pay us our attorney fees, legal costs, interest, etc., should we take a legal action against you, in addition to the original invoice. If we resort to a small claims court, you agree to pay us 60$ per hour for our time in bringing the case to court, which can potentially be several hours or hundreds of dollars! In the event of litigation the proper venue would be Palo Alto Court, for the obvious reason that our place of business is in this jurisdiction.
11	Spills	Learning from the experience of other limousine companies, we WILL charge you a minimum of 4 hours of service (240$) for leaving a gum or major spills in the limousine. Such extra charges can & WILL be added after finishing your event and they will be invoiced or charged on your credit card.  Again, PLEASE drink responsibly!
12	Damage to Limousine or Lost Items	Again, learning from the experience of other professionals, we WILL charge your credit card to the fullest extent for any damage to the limousine, lost or broken glassware, etc. Please note that often times, we have to replace the entire set of, say, glassware if one is missing or broken. This cost will surely be substantially high due to our cost of their replacement.  Majority of times, we cannot readily replace lost items & have to order from specialty outlets & wait .  So, PLEASE use and enjoy the facilities, accommodations, etc., fully and in a responsible manner. You hereby give us explicit authorization to charge you accordingly, in the unlikely occurrence of such events.
13	Willful Damage to Our Limousines	We never had the experience, nor are we looking forward to it, but again, learning from the experience of other professionals, if we discern/discover a willful damage to our limousine(s) we will file criminal charges against each & every person in the party.  We apologize for the harsh tone of this rule, but this DOES happen elsewhere :( If you notice ANY damage to our limousine(s), notify the driver IMMEDIATELY.  DO NOT ASSUME anything.
