Drivers will be paid double time for trips that run into the hours between 12 am-4 am. For trips requiring a Class A license with trailers over 10K, the drivers pay is $27 per hour.
  • The per-day rental is a 24-hour period starting at the time you pick up the vehicle. Please note that a timely drop off is required. *If a vehicle is kept past its specifed drop off time, without notifing our department, the reservation will automatically be charged our long-distance rate for each additional day kept.
  • Please Note: A cleaning fee will be charged if trash is not picked up in vehicles and buses. In addition, the bus has a trashcan that should be emptied at the end of your trip.
