By accessing and browsing the Site, you accept, without limitation or qualification, the Terms and acknowledge that any other agreements between you and Opulent Transit are superseded and of no force or effect.

  1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE:

RATES

  • Reservation Confirmation: The rate presented on your reservation confirmation is intended to serve as a good faith estimate of the cost of service based on the information provided at the time of booking, and is not intended to represent the actual cost of the trip. Wait time, taxes, extra stops or additional services may change your rate.  Final charges will reflect actual usage.  Reservations in international markets may incur a mileage charge. Rates are subject to change without notice. Black Falcon Transportation is not responsible for services delayed or not rendered due to weather or other circumstances beyond its control.
  • Hourly billed reservations: Hourly billed reservations are calculated from the time the vehicle leaves the garage until it returns.  The standard hourly minimum is 2 hours, however certain markets or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hourly minimum.
  • Grace period: Delays are inevitable, which can sometimes keep customers from meeting their chauffeurs. Opulent Transit logistics team works hard to give chauffeurs enough time to be in position prior to reservation pick-up time. For each reservation, customers are granted a window of time to meet their chauffeurs at the requested pick-up time and location before incurring waiting time charges.
    • Airports pickups: Black Falcon Transportation monitors all commercial airline arrivals to ensure on-time airport pickups. A forty-five (45) minute grace period is allowed on all domestic arrivals and seventy-five (75) minutes on all international arrivals. Waiting time charges will apply after the grace period and are accrued in quarter-hour increments, based on the vehicle’s hourly rate.
    • Non-airport pickups: For all pickup locations other than airports, a fifteen (15) minute grace period is allowed. Waiting time charges will apply after the grace period and are accrued in quarter-hour increments, based on the vehicle’s hourly rate.
  • Base Rate: The base rate reflects the rate charged for transportation services, prior to gratuity, ADM, airport fees, fuel surcharge, and taxes
  • Gratuity: For convenience, a discretionary gratuity is added to each reservation (industry standard of 20% base rate of vehicle). The full gratuity amount is paid directly to the chauffeur. As gratuity is a reflection of service, this charge is wholly voluntary, and can be negotiated or waived at any time.
  • ADM: This charge refers to a very small fraction of varying operational costs of handling and monitoring the reservation, imposed by municipal, state and federal governments, agencies and commissions, including airport, regulatory, licensing and other fees.
  • Airport Fee:  Airport Parking and Fees are subject to change without notice, as Black Falcon Transportation has no control over if and when increases will be imposed by various governmental authorities.  Black Falcon Transportation charges an $18.00 Airport fee for all arrivals.
  • Taxes:  Taxes are subject to change without notification, as Black Falcon Transportation has no control over if or when a tax increase  may be imposed by various governmental agencies.  Taxes are charged as incurred.  TT/AA Tax /Port Authority, Local, State or Federal Government Implied Tax.
  • Tolls: This charge represents tolls that may be incurred by Black Falcon Transportation between the pickup and drop-off destinations, as well as for tolls during the chauffeur’s return trip. Tolls are calculated for all flat-rate transfers based upon the most expeditious route. Tolls are billed as incurred for hourly reservations.
  • Fuel Surcharge (FSC):  The fuel surcharge is based on the average cost of fuel at the time of the reservation, as reported weekly by the Energy Information Administration, a statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy. This charge will therefore increase or decrease with fuel price levels.
  • Extra Stops:  In-route Extra Stops in the same town are $20.00, Extra Stops in a different town (in-route) are $30.00.   Out-of-route extra stops are quoted on a case-by-case basis.

  • Meet and Greet: There is no Meet and Greet charge for the chauffeur to park the vehicle and meet arriving passengers in the airport terminal. Black Falcon Transportation also employs Airport Representatives who work at select airports and assist arriving and departing passengers in a variety of ways. The charge for Meet and Greet service by our Airport Representatives varies from market to market, based upon client needs.
  • Luggage limitations: two pieces of luggage and one carry-on item per person for private car service and CAR may fit 3 Passengers with 3 large luggage and SUV 6 large luggage with 6 adults seating capacity.
  • Child Safety Seats: Black Falcon Transportation can provide child safety seats upon request.  There is an additional charge of $25 per safety seat.
  • Cleaning Fee: A cleaning fee may be charged if a passenger smokes in the vehicle, or if any damage is done to the vehicle that will require cleaning/disinfecting services that go beyond our standard vehicle cleaning procedures.
  • Special Event Pricing: Reservations in markets experiencing high demand of service for traveling to or from a specific event (Special Event) are subject to vehicle rates (Pricing) and Policies that may supersede standard market Pricing and Policies, as set by Black Falcon Transportation, and may also affect reservations traveling within the market but not traveling to or from the Special Event. The Special Event terms and conditions will appear in the special instructions on this confirmation.
