Terms good through 2025.

Please read these Terms & Conditions to understand how you will be billed. The passenger is responsible for all charges when completing a transfer. Any concerns relating to a ride must be called in to the base and addressed with a supervisor before or as soon as possible during the transfer. Note that if the passenger takes another mode of transportation other than the car that was booked without a prior cancellation, they will be charged as a ‘no-show’. These general terms and conditions apply to all transportation services provided by Coast To Coast Worldwide Limousine and its affiliated companies, with the exception of specific terms and conditions as stated within exclusive service agreements. See all other details below. Chauffeurs providing service for Coast To Coast clients are franchisees or independent contractors whose vehicles are independently owned and operated. They will be referred to as “drivers” in these Terms & Conditions.

Standard Rates

Accounts billing less than $500 per week will be required to open a credit card billable account and/or individual users will be required to provide a credit card at time of reservation. Customers are responsible for all tolls, taxes and fees. Tolls will be charged for both ways on any out-of-town trip. New York airport transfers will incur only one-way toll charges.
