Pricing, Payments & Tipping

How pricing works, what's included, payments, and gratuity.

Limo pricing depends on vehicle class, distance or hours, and date. Sedans cost less than SUVs, Sprinters, and stretch limousines. Genius Limo provides transparent, distance-based flat rates for transfers and hourly rates for events — get an exact all-inclusive price instantly at geniuslimo.com before you commit.
No. Genius Limo never uses surge pricing. Your quote is a fixed, all-inclusive rate that stays the same regardless of demand, weather, traffic, or time of day — unlike rideshare apps whose airport prices can double during peak hours.
Yes. Genius Limo quotes are all-inclusive: standard tolls, taxes, and fuel are built into the flat rate shown at booking. The only additions would be optional extras you request or extended waiting time beyond the included allowance.
Gratuity is appreciated but never required. The industry standard for chauffeured service is 15–20% of the fare. Check your confirmation — if gratuity was already included at checkout, there's no need to tip again unless you'd like to reward exceptional service.
Payment terms are shown at checkout before you confirm. Standard transfers are typically charged at booking or completion per the displayed terms; event bookings may involve a deposit with the balance due before service. Your receipt is emailed automatically.
Point-to-point flat rates are cheaper for single transfers like airport runs. Hourly service wins when you have multiple stops, waiting between events, or an open-ended schedule — one hourly booking replaces several separate transfers.
Genius Limo operates 24/7, and quotes reflect your actual pickup time — the rate you see online for a 4 AM airport run is the rate you pay. Any time-of-day considerations are already built into the instant quote, never added afterward.
Brief en-route stops may carry a small per-stop charge on flat-rate transfers, quoted upfront when you add them at booking. On hourly bookings, unlimited stops are included — you're simply using your reserved time.
Uber Black prices fluctuate with surge and demand — an IAD run can swing widely within an hour. Genius Limo's flat rate is locked when you book, includes one hour of free airport wait time and flight tracking, and guarantees a vetted chauffeur and vehicle class rather than a match from a pool.
Yes. Corporate accounts receive negotiated rates, consolidated invoicing, priority dispatch, and a dedicated account contact. Volume pricing applies for roadshows, recurring executive travel, and group events — contact booking@geniuslimo.com to set up an account.
Nothing. Genius Limo tracks your flight at no cost and adjusts pickup automatically, and airport pickups include one full hour of free waiting time after landing. Delays don't trigger surcharges — your flat rate stands.
Genius Limo prices are set to be fair and transparent based on distance and vehicle class rather than matched to competitors. Compare total value: flight tracking, one hour free wait, licensed chauffeurs, and no-surge flat rates are included in every quote.
Yes. Every completed ride generates an emailed receipt with fare breakdown suitable for expense reports. Corporate accounts receive consolidated monthly invoices with passenger, route, and cost-center details.
It depends on the option you select at checkout — your confirmation clearly states whether gratuity is included. If it isn't, tipping 15–20% directly is customary for excellent service but always at your discretion.
Prices reflect vehicle age and class, insurance and licensing, chauffeur vetting and training, and included services like wait time and flight tracking. Unusually cheap quotes often exclude tolls, gratuity, or wait time — Genius Limo quotes all-inclusive so comparisons are honest.
