Wait time:
There is no wait time for pick ups. We will arrive at a specified time. A member will be given five minutes. We must keep our vehicles moving. Once we exceed the five minutes we may leave to go to our next destination and return later. If this is at the end of the night and we will not be in your area you will have lost your ride. There may also be a standby charge of $35 after the first five minutes. A time has been arranged and we must keep to a schedule. It is the member’s responsibility to be out front for their pick up. All members are required to have a cell phone to make contact. A credit card will be kept on file and the $35 wait time will be charged to it.
Gratuity:
Gratuity is not included in your membership. Our drivers would appreciate any gratuity/tips you may wish to give them. During the course of the night you may have more than one driver so please tip accordingly. There is no set tip amount. However you should base your tip on how many people you have and how many places you go and then how long you are out. Example: There are only two of you and you only go to a restaurant and home. The average gratuity would be $20. If there are four people out the average gratuity is $40. An easy way to figure out the gratuity is $10 per person. Remember the more stops you make and the longer you are out the gratuity should increase. These are only guide lines and the actual gratuity is up to the member.
Rules and regulations may be changed at anytime. Notice to members will be given in writing within 10 business days either by E-mail or US postal services. We reserve the right to refuse service anytime for any reason.

Shared Membership:
For the initial pick up we must be notified 24 hours in advance. If 24 hr. notice is not given we will try to do our best to fit you in our schedule. However if we are not available at the time you have requested you may have to wait until we are available or it is possible we may not be able to accommodate you that night. We must have a cell phone number of someone in the party. We have to be able to contact you if there is a change in the schedule. We advise that you arrange a time for a pick up during the night so we may schedule our route. A 45 minute notice is still necessary if the time is not pre-arranged. Please remember this is not a private service, it is a shared ride service and we must accommodate many members throughout the night. Flexibility is the key to having a wonderful evening. Please do not arrange your pick up time close to a dinner reservation. We may have to pick up other members on the way to your restaurant. When you make a reservation to include other people we arrange to have a vehicle to accommodate that number. If your party does not show up you are still responsible for the charges and will be charged accordingly to your credit card on file. No pick up time is guaranteed. You may have to be flexible 15 minutes either way. We do our best to accommodate as many members as possible with one vehicle; this is how we keep our membership fees low. It is possible that even after you have made a reservation that your time may need to be adjusted.
