How Chauffeur Service Pricing Works
Private chauffeur service is inquiry-based, not metered. There is no app that calculates a fare in real time, and there is no meter running during the trip. Instead, you describe the trip — pickup location, destination, date, time, vehicle preference — and receive a flat quote before the booking is confirmed. That quoted price is what you pay. It does not increase if traffic is slow. It does not surge if demand is high. The price is set at booking and confirmed in writing.
Distance and Route
Distance is the primary factor in a chauffeur service quote. A short airport transfer from Back Bay to Logan is a different scope than a Boston-to-New York run. Both are quoted flat, but the numbers reflect the distance and time involved. Multi-stop itineraries — for example, a roadshow with three meeting locations across Boston and Cambridge — are also quoted in advance for the full itinerary, not per leg.
Vehicle Choice
Vehicle selection affects pricing. The Executive SUV is the primary TiLimousine vehicle. The Premium Luxury SUV is available for clients who prefer it. The Executive Van is designed for groups of up to 12 passengers. Different vehicles reflect different rate structures, and the quote will specify which vehicle is being provided.
Time and Scheduling Factors
Timing affects pricing in several ways. Early morning and late-night runs — particularly before 5 AM or after midnight — may reflect the scheduling constraints involved. High-demand dates such as holiday weekends, major Boston events, and graduation season involve tighter availability and may reflect that in pricing. Waiting time during multi-stop itineraries or extended stays in a destination is factored into the quote rather than charged retroactively. Multi-leg and round-trip bookings are quoted as a package when possible.
What's Typically Included
A standard chauffeur service booking includes the professional driver, the vehicle, and the trip from pickup to destination. For airport pickups, flight tracking is included — the driver monitors your flight and adjusts arrival time accordingly, at no extra charge. Meet-and-greet for airport arrivals, including waiting inside the terminal, is available and typically included in airport transfer pricing. Gratuity practices vary — some clients include it in the booking, others handle it separately. Confirm at booking whether gratuity is included in the quoted rate.
