Drivers hold valid commercial licenses, pass comprehensive background checks, complete drug testing, and finish our defensive driving program. This is the baseline, not the upsell.

How can you avoid overtime charges?
Overtime charges are one of the biggest unexpected costs โ usually 1.5x your hourly rate billed in 15-minute increments. Build a 30-minute buffer into your rental time, set phone alarms for the final hour, and communicate your timeline clearly to the driver. A little planning saves a lot of money.
