Change, Cancellation and No Show Policy
For transfer reservations in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, a change fee or late cancellation fee for sedans, SUV’s, limousines and vans of $125.00 USD will be charged to all transfer reservations changed or cancelled within the minimum stated time prior to the scheduled pick up time, unless the sum of all charges that would have been incurred for the reservation is less, in which case the lesser amount applies. For hourly reservations for sedans, SUV’s, limousines and vans, the change fee or late cancellation fee is equal to the base rate times the hourly minimum*.
For all countries not aforementioned and where a reservation is changed or cancelled within the minimum stated time prior to the scheduled pick up time, transfer reservations for sedans and MPVs will incur a fee equal to the applicable base transfer rate plus local VAT where applicable. For hourly reservations for sedans and MPV’s, the change fee or late cancellation fee is equal to the hourly minimum plus local VAT where applicable*.
A no show fee equal to the hourly minimum or base transfer rate, for the confirmed vehicle, plus airport fee, fuel surcharge, toll(s), and parking, if applicable, will apply should the passenger fail to cancel or meet the chauffeur at the designated pick up location for all reservations*.
To avoid a change fee, late cancellation fee, or no show fee, the reservation(s) must be changed or cancelled in accordance with the cancellation policy noted in your email confirmation. You may either call 800.336.4646 or cancel the reservation at www.carey.com. Outside the United States and Canada, call +1.301.624.5006.
If you experience difficulty locating your chauffeur, please call the Service Provider telephone number listed on the email confirmation. Leaving the pick-up location without notifying Carey will result in a no show fee.
* Applies to all reservations where the pickup location is within the local city metropolitan area. The local city metropolitan area is defined as within 75 miles of the city center. All services outside the local city metropolitan area may be assessed the actual drive time to and from the pick-up location.
NOTE: All Special Event Change and Cancellation Policies supersede standard Change and Cancellation Policies and are noted in the email confirmation.

Wait Time – Airport Transfer
Wait time is not charged for commercial flights unless customers choose to deviate from proceeding to the stated customer/chauffeur meeting location. In such instances, customers are permitted twenty (20) minutes of wait time after the scheduled pickup time. Wait time beyond twenty (20) minutes will result in charges equal to the transfer base rate plus the hourly rate prorated in fifteen (15) minute intervals.
Wait Time – Point-to-Point Transfer
Customers are permitted twenty (20) minutes of wait time after the scheduled pickup time. Wait time beyond the twenty (20) minutes will result in charges equal to the transfer base rate plus the hourly charge prorated in fifteen (15) minute intervals.
Extra Stops
For transfer reservations, customers are allowed to make one stop, along the route, which does not exceed fifteen (15) minutes. If the stop exceeds fifteen (15) minutes, the customer will be charged the transfer base rate plus the hourly rate for the vehicle in fifteen (15) minute increments up to forty-five (45) minutes (rounded up) for the time that the chauffeur waits. If there is more than one stop, or if the one stop lasts more than thirty (30) minutes, then the trip will convert to an hourly rate.
