Wait Time for Point-to-Point and Airport Transfers
For point-to-point transfers, Empire Limousine provides a grace period of up to 15 minutes at pick-up before waiting time charges apply at the hourly rate of the vehicle, billed in 15-minute increments once the minimum time limit is passed.
For airport arrival transfers, Empire Limousine provides up to 30 minutes of free waiting time for domestic arrivals and up to 45 minutes for international arrivals requiring customs clearance. If you do not meet your chauffeur or call Empire Limousine within this time frame, you will be considered a “No-Show,” and you will be charged in full for the reservation.

The minimum posted number of hours is only the minimum number of hours Empire Limousine will accept an order for, not what the client will be billed for. Reductions in the amount of time ordered are not permitted once an order is confirmed.
