What Changes a Baltimore Transportation Quote

Rates range $175โ€“$375/hr; Preakness day hits $350โ€“$600/hr. Ravens gamedays run $250โ€“$400/hr. Ask whether the quote includes minimum hours, gratuity, fuel, travel time, tolls, parking, cleaning, taxes, overtime, and optional add-ons. A lower hourly rate can be more expensive if major items are added later.

Timing note: Preakness (third Saturday in May) is the absolute peak. Ravens season (Septโ€“Jan), Artscape (July), and Fells Point Fest (fall) are secondary surges. Earlier quote requests usually create more options when local demand is high.
