How much does a Chicago corporate transportation program cost?

Pricing is per-ride at standard rates (sedan $130, SUV $165, etc.) minus your tier discount (5-20%). No setup fee, no monthly subscription. You only pay for rides used. The savings come from volume discounts plus eliminating per-ride credit card fees through monthly net-30 invoicing.

Can my company set up a corporate account with monthly billing?

Yes — net-30 corporate invoicing is included starting at 5 rides/month. We invoice on the 1st of each month for the prior month's rides, with detailed cost-center allocation. Common payment methods: ACH transfer, corporate check, or AmEx Plum (most popular for travel-coordinator workflows).

Do you integrate with TMCs like Egencia, Concur, or BCD Travel?

Enterprise tier (50+ rides/month) includes direct booking integrations or API access. Many firms route bookings through their TMC for compliance — Royal Carriage works with Egencia, Concur Travel, BCD, Carlson Wagonlit, and FROSCH. For Growth and Starter tiers, our online booking portal exports to most TMCs via CSV.

What's your SLA for last-minute corporate bookings?

Enterprise tier: 6-hour same-day dispatch guarantee. Growth tier: 12-hour SLA. Starter tier: 24-hour SLA. For genuine emergencies (executive flight delay, surprise airport pickup), call dispatch directly at (224) 801-3090 — we accommodate when fleet capacity allows, regardless of tier.

Do you handle compliance for executive transport (background checks, insurance)?

Yes. All Royal Carriage chauffeurs are TSA-cleared, drug-tested every 6 months, and MVR-screened annually. We carry $1.5M commercial auto liability. Documentation packages available for compliance teams (SOC2, GDPR, vendor risk assessments).

Can our company brand the inside of the vehicles?

Enterprise tier supports custom in-vehicle branding for major events (conferences, IPO roadshows, private equity due diligence weeks). Includes printed materials, name placards, branded water bottles, and Wi-Fi network names. Custom branding requires 30-day setup time.

What happens if a booked driver doesn't show up?

Backup vehicle dispatched within 30 minutes. Royal Carriage runs a dedicated reserve fleet specifically for no-show recovery. Enterprise tier customers receive automatic credit refunds for service failures. We've never lost a corporate account to no-show issues — it's the #1 thing operators get wrong, and we've engineered around it.

Recurring Routes

Setting Up an Employee Shuttle

Recurring employee transport — a late-night ride home, a campus-to- station loop, an off-site commute — runs best as a standing route rather than a stack of one-off bookings. Here is how the program structures it.

Define the window and the stops

Most employee shuttles are a fixed pickup window (for example 9pm-1am) with several drop-offs across Chicago neighborhoods. We map the route once, and it repeats on the days you set.

Match the vehicle to headcount

A handful of late-working employees fit a sedan or SUV. A larger commute or campus loop uses a Sprinter or party bus. Right-sizing keeps the per-head cost well below individual rideshare home.

Set the recurrence

Daily, weekday-only, or specific nights — the booking recurs automatically so a coordinator is not re-entering it each time. Changes go through one account manager.

Cap and code it

Approval rules and cost-center tags apply to the standing route just like one-off trips, so the recurring spend stays inside policy and lands on the right budget line.

The Business Case

Where a Program Saves Money

Volume discount on every ride

5% to 20% off published rates by tier, applied automatically. The more your firm travels, the deeper the discount — with no setup or subscription fee to earn it.

No per-ride card processing

Net-30 invoicing replaces dozens of individual card charges and the reconciliation that follows. Finance handles one statement, not a receipt pile.

Coordinator time back

A standing route and a single account manager remove the per-trip booking churn. The travel desk scopes routes once instead of re-quoting weekly.

Policy enforced before spend

Approval workflows and per-ride caps catch out-of-policy bookings at request time, not in an after-the-fact expense review.

Onboarding

From Call to First Ride

30-minute scoping call

We map your typical trips, monthly volume, and which tier fits. This is where standing routes and approval rules get defined.

Account and portal setup

Billing contact, authorized travelers, cost centers, and portal logins are provisioned. Standard accounts are live the same day.

Travel team walkthrough

Your coordinators learn the booking portal, the live dashboard, and the reporting exports. Enterprise tiers add TMC or API integration here.

First invoice and review

After the first month, your account manager reviews utilization, confirms cost-center coding, and adjusts tier or routes as your volume settles.
