What Changes a Portland Transportation Quote

Portland rates: $175–$400/hr; Rose Festival (June), Oregon Brewers Festival (July), and Timbers/Trail Blazers games add 20–30%. 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.
