Terms, Conditions & Cancellation Policies:
Accounting:
Additional charges will be itemized on the customer’s billing statement when applicable (e.g. tolls, parking, airport and regulatory fees, operating surcharge, gratuity, fuel charge, late night/early morning fees, etc). All quoted rates are subject to change without notice. All rates are calculated and billed in U.S. dollars.
A $50 U.S. holiday surcharge will be charged to all trips occurring on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Similar surcharges apply to trips occurring on recognized holidays in locations outside the United States.
Point To Point Flat Rate:
Boston Corporate Coach has standardized routes with flat-rate pricing for travel to and from most major cities and airports. Wait time is defined as the length of time that elapses between a scheduled pickup and a passenger getting into the reserved vehicle. A fee of $1.75 for every minute is charged after the grace period of 60 minutes for international flights arrivals, 30 minutes for domestic flights, and 10 minutes for non-airport pickup reservations.
Stop Charges:
A Stop Charge will apply to any added stops on route to the drop-off location plus $1.75 a minute increment for any wait at the stop location over our 5 minute grace period at the stop location. Passenger-requested stops off route during a flat-rate trip will be charged the prevailing hourly rate. A stop added in the same pickup zone is $35.00 for a Sedan and $45 for SUV, plus $1.75 for each 1 minute increment of waiting time at the stop. A stop added in a different pickup zone will be calculated based distance and time, plus $1.75 for each 1 minute increment of waiting time at the stop.
Stop Rules:
Stop charges only apply if the pricing type is “Flat Rate/Point to Point”. Stop charges are never applied to hourly pricing. Stops must be “on route” to the drop-off location. In the same general direction or area. If the stop is out of the direction of travel or in a different service area the job must be booked hourly. There is a two-added stop limit on a transfer. If more stops are requested the job must be booked as hourly. If the pickup address and the drop-off address are the same and there is a stop added, this is a Wait & Return reservation. Wait and Return reservations must be booked as hourly service. There are no free stops on a flat rate transfer reservation. If you make a flat-rate reservation with an added stop, the system will add the stop price to the ride total price automatically.
Hourly Rides:
Rides between locations to which a flat-rate does not apply will be billed for the time the vehicle and chauffeur are at your service. The vehicle hourly rate will apply.
Hourly rides are billed per hour at the chosen vehicle prevailing hourly rate. Final charges are based on actual ride duration, plus garage to garage time. Garage time (positioning) is the cost incurred for the vehicle and chauffeur to travel to your pickup location from our closest garage and to return to our garage from your drop-off point. Hourly rates do not include tolls, parking, and other miscellaneous charges, which will be added if applicable, upon ride completion. Time-based charges are billed in 30-minute increments. Long-Distance Reservations will be charged as Time + Mileage. Mileage rate varies and will be charged based on the vehicle type selected.

Pre-Authorization:
Prior to your trip, Boston Corporate Coach will request a pre-authorization of your credit, debit or pre-paid account for the estimated total of your reservation confirmation, and an up to additional 50% of the total to allow for anything that is out of the scope of what was reserved. A pre-authorization is a “hold” on funds from your bank account when we initially take your account and payment information, but have not yet processed the final charge(s) for your trip. The pre-authorization guarantees that the provided account information has the available funds to pay for the services purchased from Boston Corporate Coach, and is removed when processing the final total. Your trip may be canceled if we are unable to request a pre-authorization from the provided payment information prior to your trip.
Pet Policy:
Pets are allowed. If the pet weighs more than 15 pounds, then they must be placed in a kennel crate. Small pets must be leashed or placed in a carrying case and must not travel in the seat next to your chauffeur. Please note that certified service animals do not need to be placed in a crate. To ensure a smooth ride for both you and your pet it is best to call us beforehand at (800) 664-4480 to make arrangements so we match you with a pet-friendly chauffeur.
