Usually our cabs are specially prepared for each booking and we incur considerable costs which need to be covered to make the business viable. These costs include paying our quality drivers a set amount for each job, the time and money spent servicing and detailing the cars, fuel, tolls plus travel to and from each booking.
When does the hire time start and end?
The hire time starts at the first pickup time and will expire however many continuous hours past this you have booked for, i.e: A 2hr Hire would be 12pm until 2pm. Our travel time to and from your event is included in the quote.

Unless agreed with management, the cab(s) will depart at time stated on booking form as we may have other bookings/commitments following your event. If the cab and driver are available, we charge an overtime rate of $75 per half to be paid on the day.
If the hours we paid for are more than the hours taken on the day, can I get a refund for the extra hours not used?
