A: Yes! We can request a Lyft driver to pick you up wherever you are at and add the ride amount to your reservation plus a $5.00 administration fee. The average ride from the airport to our location is $17 (Pricing varies). This is a super easy way to have everything on one receipt to submit to your employer or even just to make things a little less time consuming.
Q: Do you have a cancellation fee?
A: We only have a cancellation fee on our midsize and large van rentals. At the time of reservation we collect the reservation fee in full and will only return 50% of the reservation if no show or cancellation. We assign a specific vehicle to each and every one of our customers, so this ensures that the vehicle will be 100% ready for you at time of pickup. For other reservations please give us a 48hr cancellation notice.
Q: Do you offer direct bill for insurance companies?
A: No, all reservations need to be paid with a major credit card and have that credit on file for the reservation. We are currently in the process of researching more about this topic, but be sure to ask your insurance company if they will reimburse you for a rental car, most will say yes if you can submit the receipt!
