BILLING AND ACCOUNTING

 

Cash or Credit Card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover) is the standard accepted and agreed upon payment method. A Credit Card must be provided when placing reservation.

 

A 20% gratuity will be added to the base fare, wait time and any additional stops will be itemized on the customers billing statement where applicable.

 

NYS Sales tax will be applied to fares on trips originating, remaining and concluding in New York State. This tax is computed by using the tax rate for the jurisdiction where the service commenced.

 

Any additional charges will be itemized on the customer's billing statement when applicable such as round trip tolls, parking, early morning surcharges and holiday surcharges.

 

All rates are calculated in the local currency and billed in U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate.

 

Due to fluctuation in currency exchange rates, all US dollar equivalents of international rates may vary.

 

   

 

RATE ESTIMATE

 

A rate estimate is the rate presented to you prior to your trip. This estimate is an initial estimate of the cost of service as reserved. Wait time, extra stops or additional services may change the final price.

 

 

 

GARAGE TO GARAGE

 

Garage-to-Garage charges are calculated by applying our applicable hourly rate beginning from the time the chauffeur departs the garage to begin service and continues through such time the chauffeur concludes service and returns to the garage. There is a minimum of thirty (30) minutes travel time each way for the reserved vehicle.

 

 

 

WAIT TIME 

 

For all point-to-point reservations, a fifteen-minute (15) grace period is given before wait time charges begin. After 15 minutes, wait time charges are accrued in quarter hour increments, based on the vehicle's hourly rate. Devine Chauffeur Solutions is able to monitor all commercial flights, therefore a Forty Five minute (45) grace period is allowed on all domestic arrivals and sixty (60) minutes on all international arrivals. After the grace period, calculated from the confirmed landing time, wait time charges are accrued in fifteen minute (15) increments, based on the vehicle's hourly rate. For pick-ups at an FBO, there is a (15) fifteen minute grace period before wait time charges apply. After (15) fifteen minutes, wait time will be charged at $15.00 per fifteen (15) minute increments once the grace period has elapsed.  

 

 

 

ADDITIONAL STOPS

 

Passenger requested stops en-route during a point-to-point reservation will be charged at $10.00 or $20.00 depending upon the distance traveled. For all passenger requested stops off route during a point-to-point reservation, charges will revert to the prevailing BlackTie Transportation NY vehicle hourly rate.
