What should I expect to
pay?
Most limousines rent between $50.00 and $150.00
per hour depending on the type of limousine and the
number of passengers the limousine can accommodate,
plus a drivers gratuity ranging from 10% to 20% of the
limousine reservation. The majority of limousine
service companies also require a minimum hourly booking,
usually 3 to 4 hours. Because of limousine prep
costs, travel times, and chauffeur salaries, a one-hour
limousine reservation is not feasible to most limousine
companies.
Chariot limousine requires a 2/3 hour minimum booking.
We will consider 1 hour reservations depending on pickup/drop
off locations, time of day, and day of week, however,
a premium hourly rate is charged (excluding prom season).
During Prom season, Fridays & Saturday's in April
& May, rates may increase 10% to 30%, as well as,
hourly minimums may increase to 6 hours or more. Any
questions, please call 503.318.2323.
Do I have to pay for the time
while we attend our event and the limousine is not in
use?
You still have to pay for the limousine rental
time during your event, such as a prom, sporting event,
concert or dining out, even though you are not physically
using the limousine. Although the limousine is
not in use, the limousine cannot be used elsewhere;
travel time, the inconvience of vacuuming the interior,
cleaning glassware, and restriction of time makes it
impractical to reserve the limousine to another party
during this down-time. In addition, when there
are 2 to 3 or more hours of down-time, there are still
expenses accumulating. Some companies may offer
a "split" - a limousine reserved with minimal
travel time, point-to-point and back transportation
without being charged for waiting time in between, however,
minimum hourly booking requirements still apply.
Chariot Limousine offers a "split" with two,
2 hour minimum booking charges. We will consider
offering a discounted hourly charge during down-time
to certain events depending on pickup/dropoff locations,
time of day/night, and day of week (excluding prom season).
How far in advance should
I book a limousine for our occasion?
If your event is during "Prime"
season (ie: prom, wedding, graduation or the Holiday
season), we suggest the sooner the better to ensure
a limousine is available for your special occasion.
What is required to reserve
and hold a date?
A minimum deposit of $100.00 or 25% of the quoted reservation
total, whichever is greater, reserves your date &
appointed limousine. The balance is due prior
to the event date. Deposit via Visa or Mastercard,
cash, personal or company check. If a personal
check is the method of payment, the entire balance is
due 10 business days prior to the booked event.
Limousine reservations that fall below $100.00 will
require payment in full in advance.

Again, Kevin
"I just wanted to Thank You for all that
you did to make last Saturday night so special for my
son and his friends. Pat, you were so easy to
work with (with all my changes and questions).
You were very professional and helpful and I really
appreciate that (especially since this was my first
experience booking a limo). Saturday turned out
great for the kids ( they noticed the napkin colors
and really thought that was a great touch). My
son said that "the driver was so nice to them and
made them feel important" (he especially liked
being called Mr. Coleman). My son and his girlfriend
said that the limo made the night for them."
"Our limousine experience was perfect!
Thank you for letting the bridal party decorate the
inside of the limo w/ balloons!"
