Affordable Limo FAQ
Is Royal Carriage actually affordable compared to Uber?
For standard rides during off-peak hours, Uber may cost less. But during surge pricing (rush hour, weekends, rain, holidays, concerts), our flat rate frequently beats Uber Black by $30-80+. You also get a guaranteed luxury vehicle, flight tracking, free wait time, and included gratuity — none of which Uber offers.
Are there any hidden fees or charges?
None. Our quoted price includes gratuity (15%), Illinois Tollway charges, flight tracking, and up to 60 minutes of free wait time at airports. The only potential extra is venue parking if your driver needs to park at an event (rare). No booking fees, no fuel surcharges, no cancellation fees with 24-hour notice.
How do flat rates work?
When you enter your pickup and drop-off addresses on our booking platform, you receive an exact price. That price is final — it does not change regardless of traffic, weather, or route taken. For hourly charters, you pay the agreed hourly rate times the number of hours booked.
Can I get a discount for booking multiple rides?
Yes. Round-trip bookings receive a 10% discount. Corporate accounts with regular bookings get volume pricing. Call (224) 801-3090 to set up a corporate account or discuss recurring ride needs.
What makes a limo more affordable than it looks?
When you factor in gratuity (included), tolls (included), free wait time (30-60 min at airports), and the fact that our price never surges, a limo frequently costs the same or less than Uber Black during real-world conditions. Split a party bus among 15 people and it costs $10/person/hour.
Affordable Does Not Mean Cutting Corners.
Same luxury vehicles. Same professional chauffeurs. Same white-glove service. Just honest, flat-rate pricing without the markup.
