Booking a limo or party bus for the big day? This calculator totals the full cost including gratuity.
Base Cost = Hours Needed x Hourly Rate x Number of Vehicles
Total Cost = Base Cost + (Base Cost x Gratuity %)
Example
4 hours, $150/hour, 1 vehicle, 20% gratuity:
Base Cost = $600.00 → $720.00 total
Watch for Minimum Hour Requirements
Most limousine and party bus companies enforce a minimum hourly booking requirement, commonly 3-5 hours, even if actual usage needed is shorter - confirming this minimum with the vendor before finalizing your hours needed avoids an unexpected cost increase at booking time.
Gratuity Is Commonly Built Into the Quote
Many transportation companies automatically include a gratuity percentage in their standard quote rather than leaving it as a separate optional tip - confirming whether gratuity is already included in a quoted rate avoids accidentally double-tipping or under-budgeting for this cost.
