I booked with Urbana, but why does the vehicle have another company’s name?

In the rare event that we are booked solid or have a mechanical issue with our vehicles, we have a network of carefully vetted affiliates who we outsource trips to. Rest assured that you will receive the same excellent service you have come to expect from Urbana. Even if we use one of our affiliates, your point of contact is still with Urbana, and we will manage all the details of your trip to ensure a seamless experience. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach us at (240) 776 5466 and we will be happy to assist you.

Will I be charged a fee if I am not able to make my trip?

If a customer does not show up at the designated pick-up location or fails to cancel the reservation prior to a chauffeur being dispatched, a “No Show” fee for the entire amount of the trip will be charged to the credit card on file. Although unlikely, if for any reason, you cannot locate your chauffeur, please contact us on our 24/7 phone line at 240-776-5466 to avoid a “No Show” charge.


Payment

Do you accept debit cards?

Yes, we accept debit cards. However, please note that for debit cards, the issuing bank treats the pre-authorization as a pending charge and withholds the amount from your account until the charge is processed.

Which credit cards do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards including American Express, Discover, Visa and Mastercard. We charge a 4% convenience fee for using a credit or debit card. Alternately, payment cad be made via check or direct deposit to avoid a credit card convenience fee.

Will you charge my card upon making the reservation?

A 50% deposit is required to confirm reservations. Your credit card is pre-authorized for the estimated charges for your trip.  For debit cards, the issuing bank treats the pre-authorization as a pending charge and withholds the amount from your account until the charge is processed.  After the trip has been completed, our service team will audit for any additional charges/time and process the card on file (unless other accepted payment arrangements have been made in advance). We cannot send a vehicle without a valid credit card pre-authorization.  Due to the risk of credit card fraud, we require the card holder’s name, billing address and zip code.

How do I get a copy of my receipt?

At the completion of your trip, a copy of the final receipt will be sent to the email we have on file.  If you did not receive a receipt or need another copy, please contact us.
