Pricing Policy
All advertised fares are subject to change without notice and may be higher during holidays or special events.
Rate Estimate
The rate quoted, prior to your trip, is an estimate based on the information you provided at the time of the reservation. Fees for tolls, gratuity, waiting time and additional stops are not included in the estimate and will increase your rate.
Additional Charges
Any changes made to your trip after pick-up may result in additional charges. Be sure to get an updated price from the driver or the office before proceeding on your way. There is also a night time surcharge for all services provided between 10:00 pm and 5:00 am.
Gratuity
When traveling in a luxury sedan, stretch limousine, or a luxury SUV a mandatory gratuity of 20% will apply.
Waiting Time
Waiting time is based on the hourly rate for a particular vehicle and is charged at 15-minute increments. Waiting time charges may be incurred if a passenger arrives late to a pick-up. Time spent waiting at additional stops will also be charged as waiting time. Waiting time charges may apply after the complimentary waiting time of 10 minutes expires. We do not charge waiting time attributed to delayed flights or luggage delivery for pick-ups at the airport.
Additional Stops
The fare quoted online does not include any additional stops made during your trip. Unless specifically discussed, when booking a reservation by phone, the fare quoted by an operator does not include additional stops. Additional stops are calculated by the distance deviated from the route between the original pick-up and destination. You may obtain an exact quote for additional stops, in advance, by speaking with a phone reservationist at (206) 261-1191.
Airport Parking Fees
When booking a reservation from the airport for an SUV or stretch limousine, airport parking fees will be added to the fare. The airport parking fee is based upon the parking rate of the Port Authority.
Cancelation Policy
A fee may be charged to your credit card for any trip not canceled within the allotted time. In order to avoid cancelation fees, customers must notify a customer service representative of cancelation by phone, email, or fax at least 24 hours for a sedan, and 7 days in advance for a limousine. Cancellations are accepted by email and by phone at (206) 261-1191.
No Shows
If Starline Town Car & Limousine Service is unable to contact the passenger or related contact person after 30 minutes of the scheduled pick-up time, by means of the information provided on the reservation, then the ride will be considered a no-show and will be abandoned. Not being at your pick-up location without notifying Starline Town Car & Limousine Service may result in a no-show charge.
Change Policy
Starline Town Car & Limousine Service requires that all changes be received by phone at least 3 hours prior, or through email and fax at least 24 hours prior to pick-up. If a change made less than three hours prior to pick-up cannot be accommodated, the resulting cancellation may cause a full or partial charge to the customer.
Credit Card Policy
When paying by credit card, you must supply the credit card number in advance for pre-approval. This is only for pre-approval purposes and does not constitute payment for the trip. Upon reserving with a credit or debit card, a preliminary hold equivalent to 150% of the quoted fare is placed on the card to secure the anticipated total including tolls, gratuity, additional stops, and waiting time. This hold is released when payment is processed approximately 3-5 business days after the trip.
The actual credit card must be presented to the driver at the time of pick-up. The driver may ask for additional identification to ensure the validity of the card. All signatures and information must match before the card will be accepted as payment. The credit card must be completed and signed at the end of the trip. During the trip, passengers may not leave the vehicle, for any purpose, without first signing the uncompleted credit card slip. Should the passenger fail to return to the vehicle, the full fare will be charged to the card.
Starline Town Car & Limousine Service accepts all of the following cards for payment:
- American Express®
- VISA®
- MasterCard®
- Discover®
Credit Card Processing
Credit cards are processed approximately 3-5 business days after the trip date. The charges will appear on your statement as the date of processing, not the trip date. All transactions are handled in a safe, encrypted format by a secure server to ensure Starline Town Car & Limousine Service's and our customers’ maximum security, and the assurance that your information stays confidential, private, and safe.
