Rules & Policy

Changes:
Volatile gas prices have taken center stage. We can’t guarantee ride price, but we guarantee the same professional service. If nothing else comes along gas prices we keep prices on the same level. We reserve the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in the Terms or any policy or guideline of the Sites, at any time and in our sole discretion. Any changes or modification will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions on the Sites, and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your continued use of these Sites following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
Luggage:
All luggage must fit in the trunk otherwise the driver has the right to refuse the ride. Aside from personal bags (handbags, briefcases, laptops, small backpacks, etc.),
luggage is not allowed in the interior of the vehicle. Mostly, this is for safety reason, state insurance policy, but we also consider the fact that no matter how careful you are,
there is always a possibility that your luggage may somehow damage the vehicle’s interior. The vehicles are new. Just as we must consider the condition in which you will receive the vehicle,
we must also consider our next passenger.
There is no charge for luggage as long as it fits in the trunk. If luggage needs to be put in the passenger compartment of the car there will be a $10 charge per bag
(excluding soft personal items or carry-ons). Under no circumstance will a suitcase with wheels be placed on any seating surface.
Should a driver refuse a ride due to luggage exceeding capacity, please call our office to find out the availability, cost, and estimated wait time of a bigger vehicle.
To avoid delaying your trip, please be sure to book an appropriately sized vehicle.
