Pricing Guide
Compare preliminary totals, included fees, minimum hours, overtime, and the signed agreement terms so you are not shopping hourly rates in isolation.
Read the written total and inclusions before you compare hourly rates. Every Bus 2 Ride written quote includes driver gratuity or tip, taxes, fuel, and ordinary quoted transportation fees. Tolls and any exceptional charges are additional only when specifically disclosed in the written quote. Your quote is the number that counts. Preliminary estimates are planning tools. The trip is confirmed only once we have talked the trip through with you and the agreement is signed.

Checklist
Compare written totals for the same hours, mileage pattern, and inclusions.
Find minimum hours, overtime rate, and when overtime starts.
Confirm whether gratuity, taxes, fuel, and fees are inside the total.
Note deposit amount, balance deadline, and cancellation language.
Check vehicle category language — category is not a guaranteed photo match.
Sign via the signed agreement only when the terms match what you expect.
A lower hourly number can cost more once travel time, gratuity, cleaning, or overtime sit outside the rate. Ask for the estimated total for your itinerary and what could change it.
