Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work outside of your normal availability window?

Yes, but there is an upcharge of +$10 for every hour outside of the window. For example, normally an airport ride is $50 when completed within my normal availability window of 8am-8pm, but if you need to be picked up at 4:30am for an early morning flight, it’s $90. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Do you require a deposit?

I require a 20% deposit for Tours and Long-Distance Rides which goes toward the total cost. No deposit required for all other rides.

Do you require that I book a reservation for a ride ahead of time?

While it is not a requirement, there is a $10 upcharge for less than 30 minutes notice. Please refer to the Rates section of the website for more information.

What type of vehicle do you drive and what is the maximum capacity?

I drive a 2018 Toyota Highlander (See pics here) and can seat up to 6 passengers. There is an upcharge of +$10 when transporting more than 4 passengers. Please contact me for more details.

Do you take credit cards?

I prefer cash, Venmo or Zelle but am more than happy to run a credit card if necessary (i.e. for business trips, etc.)

What are your credentials?

I have a City of Asheville For Hire Driver’s permit, Commercial Auto Insurance Policy, Asheville Airport Ground Transportation Permit, a North Carolina For Hire tag, plus 3 years of full-time commercial driving experience

Do you do more than just drive?

Absolutely! I offer recommendations for all the best restaurants, breweries, live music venues, outdoor activities and nightlife that this fine town has to offer! When hired for private driving, I can be as involved in the experience as you’d like. For example, I kept score for some folks for their axe throwing matchup.

If I need an airport pickup, what information do you require?

When booking an airport pickup, please provide your flight # and indicate whether you’re checking luggage or simply carrying on. I keep an eye on the flight status and do my best to time my arrival perfectly to minimize your wait time.

Do you make reservations at restaurants, etc.?

No, currently I am just a driver, I don’t plan vacation itineraries. However, I'm more than happy to provide as many recommendations as you'd like during your stay.

Can you bring my party onto the Biltmore Estate grounds?

Yes, however you and your party must purchase admission tickets either ahead of time or at the ticketing office. If you’ve purchased tickets ahead of time, they need to be ready when entering the property.

Can I bring alcoholic beverages along for the ride?

North Carolina is a zero tolerance state in regards to open containers in vehicles. You may bring non-alcoholic beverages and food on board upon request. Thank you for your understanding.
