Schedule & Overtime Fees

We strive for punctuality, but spontaneous changes or delays by the party will incur additional costs:

  • Wait Time: If the chauffeur is kept waiting longer than 30 minutes past the scheduled time, a $30 fee applies per 30-minute increment.

  • No-Show Policy: If we cannot contact The Hirer within 30 minutes of the scheduled pickup, the ride is considered a “No-Show” and will be charged in full.

  • Hourly Overrun: Any unplanned time overages due to itinerary changes will be billed at up to $250 per hour (or part thereof).

  • Itinerary Changes: While we will try to accommodate extra stops or destination changes, further costs will apply.

Code of Conduct & Safety

Finest Transportation maintains a zero-tolerance policy for unsafe or illegal behavior.

  • Drug Use: Strictly prohibited by law. The Hirer is responsible for any resulting fines.

  • Alcohol: No consumption by anyone under 21. If found, service will be terminated immediately without a refund. By law, we cannot provide alcoholic beverages.

Airport Transfers

  • Cancellations: Changes or cancellations made within 4 hours of pickup will be charged in full. Sedan/SUV cancellations made prior to 4 hours still incur a $25 fee.

  • Flight Delays: Overtime charges apply if a flight is delayed within 1 hour of the original ETA or if the driver is already en route.

  • Wait Time: Overtime is billed in 15-minute increments at $25 once the prearranged time expires.

Road Conditions & Liability Limits

  • Unforeseen Delays: We are not liable for delays caused by acts of nature, accidents, or heavy traffic. Due to regional congestion, we cannot guarantee exact arrival times; however, no compensation is provided if the vehicle arrives within 30 minutes of the scheduled time.

  • Mechanical Failure: In the rare event of a breakdown, we reserve the right to substitute a vehicle from our fleet or an affiliate.

  • Personal Items: Finest Transportation is not responsible for any items left in the vehicle during or after the charter.
