Minimums & Billing
All reservations require a three-hour minimum, a five-hour minimum for reservations beginning at or after 6:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve. Billing is rounded forward to the nearest half hour, beginning when your driver arrives and concluding when your vehicle is returned and secured.
Payment Terms
First-Time Clients
On the day of your first service, we process a three-hour minimum charge, a five-hour minimum for reservations beginning at or after 6:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve, to verify your payment method before your driver is dispatched. This amount is applied directly toward your final invoice; it is not an additional charge. If the card on file is declined, we contact you immediately to arrange a valid payment method. We do not dispatch a driver until payment has been successfully confirmed.
Established Clients
For returning clients, your card is charged after service is complete.
Accepted Methods
Cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
Gratuity
A 20% gratuity is automatically included on every invoice, so there is no separate tip to add. Clients who wish to recognize their driver further may tip directly via cash, Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo at no additional charge. Extra gratuity can also be added to the invoice on request; because invoiced gratuity is taxable wages subject to payroll taxes and card processing, a 20% convenience fee applies to that additional amount.
Travel Time
In most cases, there is no additional charge for driver travel within our standard service area. For more remote or exclusive areas, such as Malibu, Hidden Hills, Calabasas, Westlake Village, or Chatsworth, a travel fee may apply depending on distance and driver availability. We will always let you know in advance if any additional charge applies, so there are never any surprises.
Expenses
All trip-related expenses, including fuel, parking, tolls, valet, car washes, and any other costs incurred during your service, are the client's responsibility. Out-of-pocket costs we pay on your behalf during service, such as parking or fueling or charging your vehicle, are added to the invoice with the same 20% convenience fee.
If your driver advances a cost
If you pay directly, there is no surcharge. If your driver advances an expense on your behalf at your request, a 20% convenience fee is added to the reimbursed amount. Since you are in your own vehicle, tolls simply post to your own FasTrak accounts.
Cancellations
We require 24 hours notice for all cancellations. This allows us to manage our drivers and scheduling responsibly and ensures your reservation is held for you. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are billed at the reservation's minimum (three hours, or five hours for reservations beginning at or after 6:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve) to the card on file to cover the driver's reserved time. For purposes of this policy, the scheduled starting time stated in the reservation confirmation determines whether the required notice was provided.
Holidays
New Year's Eve
A five-hour minimum applies to reservations beginning at or after 6:00 p.m.
Overnight & Long-Distance Service
Our primary service area is Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties. For clients with a special need such as a long trip or overnight stay, we are glad to accommodate destinations such as San Diego, Santa Barbara, Temecula, and Las Vegas.
Overnight assignments
Overnight assignments are billed at an eight-hour minimum per day, including travel days and any days where the driver is on standby without driving.
For longer trips your driver has two options:
Driver returns home
Your driver takes you and your vehicle to your destination and returns home. You cover the driver's return flight and travel time billed at the eight-hour minimum. No lodging or per diem required.
Driver stays with you
Your driver remains available for the duration of your trip, billed at the eight-hour minimum per day. The client is responsible for providing lodging and a $90 per day per diem for the driver.
In both cases, trip costs such as fuel, tolls, and parking remain the client's responsibility.
Private Hiring
Our drivers are W-2 employees of Your Car Our Driver and are not available for private hire outside of our service. Should a client choose to hire one of our drivers directly, a $15,000 finder's fee applies. Once privately hired, the driver is no longer affiliated with Your Car Our Driver, and we accept no liability for services rendered outside our company.
