Planning Steps

- 3
Confirm whether gratuity, taxes, fuel, and fees are inside the total.
- 4
Note deposit amount, balance deadline, and cancellation language.
- 5
Check vehicle category language — category is not a guaranteed photo match.
- 6
Sign via DocuSign only when the terms match what you expect.
Hourly rate versus all-in total
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.
