At Derby City Limousines, we’ve carefully structured our pricing to include a base rate and several additional chargeable items, ensuring clarity and transparency for our clients. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
-
Base Rate: Our hourly base rate begins from the first pickup time and extends to the final drop-off. If your pickup location is outside of Louisville, KY, the rate will also encompass the drive time.
-
Gratuity: A standard minimum gratuity of 20% is added to the base rate. This gratuity is not automatically charged by Derby City Limousines but can be requested in advance. Typically, the driver’s tip is provided directly to them in cash at the time of service. Should the gratuity not be paid as agreed, or if requested, we will charge it to the credit card on file, along with an additional credit card processing fee.
-
STC (Service, Taxes, and Charges): This charge covers various operational overheads. While some of these costs may not be directly associated with your journey, they are essential for our services. The STC is calculated as a percentage of your base charge and varies based on the level of service you choose.
-
Parking and Tolls: Any costs related to parking and tolls are billed separately from the base rate. These are only included if they are applicable to your trip.
-
Fuel Surcharge: To accommodate the fluctuating costs of fuel, we include a fuel surcharge. This additional fee is modest and adjusts according to the current fuel market prices, helping us manage the variations in fuel costs.
-
Taxes: We apply taxes, including but not limited to value-added taxes, sales taxes, and other government-mandated levies, to each invoice. These taxes vary from 6% to 18%, depending on the location of service.
