Common questions about Chauffyr

How does Chauffyr track my arrival and manage wait time?

Our 24/7 reservations desk watches the flight (commercial) or tail number (private aviation) from before block-out. Commercial airport arrivals get up to 60 minutes of complimentary wait after wheels-down to clear immigration and baggage, then extra wait is billed at the vehicle's hourly rate in 15-minute increments; private-aviation (FBO) arrivals get 15 minutes of complimentary wait after actual landing time, then extra wait is billed at the vehicle’s hourly rate in 15-minute increments; they are met plane-side where the FBO permits, lobby-side otherwise. Non-airport pickups carry 15 minutes of complimentary wait at the quoted pickup time.

What vehicle and chauffeur will arrive for this ride?

You are dispatched a late-model Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lincoln Aviator or similar executive sedan, a Cadillac Escalade / Chevrolet Suburban or similar SUV, or an Executive Sprinter van depending on headcount and luggage. The chauffeur’s name, mobile and vehicle plate are confirmed by SMS and email the night before departure (or on dispatch for same-day rides). Every chauffeur holds a current commercial licence, is background-checked, drug-tested, and carries the state-required commercial livery insurance.

Is the price locked, and can it change after booking?

Chauffyr quotes are in USD; your confirmed quote is locked when you book — no distance surcharge, no fuel surcharge. The only post-ride adjustments are the 20% gratuity added when you book any wait time beyond the policy windows above, both of which appear as explicit line items on your receipt. Billing to a corporate account is available on request; our desk invoices against a single credit card or ACH relationship.

How late can I book and when do I get written confirmation?

Most rides can be booked up to a few hours before pickup through the live quote widget on this page; our 24/7 US-based desk handles same-day and overnight requests by phone. Every booking returns a written confirmation to your email, with the dispatcher’s direct line should anything on the day of travel change. Cancellation and no-show policy vary by vehicle class and are listed on our cancellation policy page.
