How Is a Limo or Black Car Quote Calculated?
Every limo and black car ride is a little different, so instead of a one-size-fits-all price, we give you a free quote for your exact trip before you book. Here's what goes into it, and how to get an accurate quote quickly.
The Four Things That Shape Your Quote
Vehicle: a black car sedan, an SUV, a stretch limo or a van. Bigger vehicles carry more people and luggage.
Distance: where you're starting and where you're going. A ride from Burlingame to SFO is different from a ride from Danville to SFO.
Hours: for hourly bookings, weddings and events, the number of hours you keep the car and driver.
Time of day: pickups between midnight and 5 a.m. include a small early morning fee.
One-Way Rides vs. Hourly Bookings
One-way rides, like a trip to the airport or across the Bay, are quoted on the vehicle and the distance.
Hourly bookings are for when you want a car and driver to stay with you, like a wedding, prom, night out, day trip or a day of meetings. These are quoted by the hour, with a few minimums:
Hourly bookings: 3-hour minimum
Stretch limo: 5-hour minimum
Weddings: 5 hours for the stretch limo, 3 hours for sedans, SUVs and vans
Learn more about hourly bookings on our private driver service page.
How to Get an Accurate Quote Fast
The more detail you give us, the more accurate your quote. Include:
Pickup address and destination
Date and pickup time
Number of passengers and how much luggage
Any stops along the way
Your flight number, for airport pickups
For hourly trips, roughly how long you'll need the car
Why We Quote Every Trip
Because every trip is different, a quote for your actual ride is the clearest way to know what you'll pay. You get it before you book, there's no obligation, and the early morning fee is already included if it applies.
