Our policy is to give a flat and fully inclusive prices without hidden charges. In some city in Italy it may be necessary to add ZTL fee, a tax imposed by local authorities, but normally only for vehicles capable to carry more than 8 passengers. Actual ZTL fee depends on hotel address, number of nights spent in the city and other parameters that cannot be determined in advance. If your transfer will require payment of a ZTL fee, you will be promptly informed before your reservation will be confirmed, letting you to decide if to keep or cancel the reservation.

Except that for transfers in the USA, tips are not expected. Anyway, if you are particularly happy about the service received, a tip to driver will be certainly welcome.
