Your credit card will be charged a deposit of $100 to $200 based on the job and vehicle. The balance will be charged in advance upon request, or on the day of the service.
Charges are accrued beginning at the pick-up and ending at the final drop-off. If prior credit card arrangements have been made to “pre-pay” for a fixed time, but the final balance exceeds this amount (due to extended hours, damages, theft, etc), then the new charge balance will be charged to the credit card on file, or paid to the driver in cash, unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
