Chauffeur Quote
Locked Chauffeur Quotes, No Surge, All-In Pricing.
A chauffeur service quote from Marquee holds from the first call through trip completion. The rate confirmed at booking is the rate billed on the final invoice, with tolls, airport fees, and standard wait time rolled into the flat rate. Hourly bookings run the published Volvo S90, Cadillac Escalade ESV, and Sprinter rates with a two-hour minimum. Corporate accounts route through Net-30 billing with a monthly consolidated invoice, and retail riders confirm the quote by email within 15 minutes of the pickup details reaching dispatch at (503) 706-8662.
01How To Quote
Call, Email, Or Request,
Locked Written Confirmation.
Getting a chauffeur service quote from Marquee runs through two channels that return a written locked rate on the same business day. The 24/7 dispatch line at (503) 706-8662 reaches a live coordinator who builds the quote from the pickup address, destination, date, time, passenger count, and any intermediate stops. Retail riders who prefer written intake email dispatch@marqueechauffeur.com with the same itinerary details and receive a quote reply within 15 minutes during business hours.
Every quote arrives with the vehicle assigned, the driver shift window confirmed, and the all-in rate stated in writing before card-on-file authorization. Flat rates cover one-way transfers. Hourly rates cover multi-stop itineraries on the two-hour minimum. The quote holds through convention weekends, weather events, and holiday dates without a surge multiplier. A written hold on the rate replaces the rideshare model where the quote and the charge can diverge by the end of the ride.
Dispatch call line
Dispatch at (503) 706-8662 answers 24 hours a day with a live coordinator rather than an automated menu. The call runs 2 to 4 minutes for a standard PDX transfer quote and 6 to 10 minutes for a multi-stop wine tour or corporate block quote. The coordinator repeats the itinerary back, states the locked rate, and sends a written confirmation by email or text within 10 minutes of the call ending. Same-day quotes route through the same line.
Email quote intake
Email dispatch@marqueechauffeur.com with the pickup address, destination, date, time, passenger count, luggage count, and any stops. A written quote reply returns within 15 minutes during business hours and within 2 hours overnight. The email thread holds as the quote record for corporate travel managers routing approval through Concur and for wedding planners coordinating multiple vendor confirmations. Attach a run-of-show for convention blocks.
Written locked hold
Every Marquee quote holds in writing from the confirmation email through trip completion. The rate on the invoice matches the quoted rate to the dollar on flat routes. Hourly bookings bill to the nearest quarter hour after the two-hour minimum. Surge multipliers do not apply on New Year's Eve, Rose Festival, ice-storm days, or Oregon Convention Center peak blocks. A written quote replaces the surge-priced rideshare estimate that floats until the ride begins.
02Sample Flat Rates
PDX, Seattle, Bend,
Eugene, And Crater Lake.
Sample flat rate quotes published by Marquee cover the four long-distance routes that dominate the booking mix. Downtown Portland to PDX runs from $138 in the Volvo S90, from $150 in the Cadillac Escalade ESV, and from $280 in the Sprinter. Portland to Seattle one-way runs from $440 in the Volvo S90. Portland to Bend one-way runs from $550. Portland to Eugene one-way runs from $380. Portland to Crater Lake as a day trip runs from $1,100. Every flat rate includes tolls and standard airport fees.
Downtown Portland to PDX
Downtown Portland to Portland International Airport runs from $138 in the Volvo S90, from $150 in the Cadillac Escalade ESV, and from $280 in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The rate covers the direct transfer through the I-205 or I-84 routing depending on time of day and traffic. Tolls, airport fees, and 30 minutes of pickup wait time are included. Return pickups from PDX back to downtown hotels or residential addresses book at the same flat rate in reverse.
Portland to Seattle one-way
Portland to Seattle one-way runs from $440 in the Volvo S90 for the roughly 3-hour I-5 route through Vancouver, Longview, and Tacoma. The flat rate covers the direct transfer to a Seattle downtown hotel, Sea-Tac International Airport, or a residential drop in Bellevue and Mercer Island. Tolls on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge southbound return are included. Cross-border wedding parties and corporate travelers book the same rate in the Escalade ESV or Sprinter on request.
Portland to Bend and Eugene
Portland to Bend one-way runs from $550 in the Volvo S90 for the roughly 3.5-hour route over Mount Hood or through the Willamette Pass depending on winter road conditions. Portland to Eugene one-way runs from $380 for the I-5 route of roughly 2 hours to the University of Oregon campus, PDX Eugene Airport, or downtown Eugene hotels. Winter routings over the Cascades include chained tires on the vehicle and ODOT TripCheck monitoring by dispatch.
Portland to Crater Lake day trip
Portland to Crater Lake National Park as a day trip runs from $1,100 in the Volvo S90 for the full 10 to 12 hour itinerary covering the 250-mile one-way drive and the Rim Drive loop at the caldera. The flat rate covers the round-trip transit, the park entry fee, and the chauffeur's on-site wait at the Rim Village and the Sinnott Memorial Overlook. Overnight lodging in Bend or at Crater Lake Lodge quotes separately for two-day itineraries.
03What's Included
Tolls, Airport Fees, Wait Time,
Gratuity, And Extras.
Every Marquee chauffeur service quote breaks down what's included and what bills as an extra at the end of the trip. The flat rate or hourly rate covers the vehicle, the vetted chauffeur, tolls on the routed leg, standard airport fees at PDX, and 30 minutes of pickup wait time. Gratuity is added automatically at 20 percent on the invoice and is adjustable. Extras that bill outside the quote include child car seats, additional stops, a PDX meet-and-greet, and extended wait time past the 30-minute window. Weather and FlightAware delays do not trigger extra wait-time charges.
Tolls and airport fees
Every quoted rate includes the tolls on the routed leg and the standard PDX airport pickup and drop-off fees. The I-205 Abernethy Bridge toll southbound from Oregon City, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge toll on Portland-to-Seattle returns, and the PDX ground transportation fee are rolled into the flat rate rather than itemized after the trip. Out-of-state toll bills for cross-border runs into Washington or down through Northern California are included on the quoted route.
Wait time and flight delays
The first 30 minutes of wait time at the pickup is included in the quote. Extended wait past the window bills at the hourly rate of the booked vehicle in quarter-hour increments. FlightAware-tracked PDX flight delays do not count against the window and absorb into the flat rate. Weather-related holds at the PDX Cell Phone Lot do not run the meter. Wait time during Providence hospital discharge or a medical appointment holds on the hourly rate.
Gratuity on invoice
Gratuity for the chauffeur is added automatically to the final invoice at 20 percent of the quoted rate and is adjustable on request before the card-on-file is charged. The 20 percent line matches the standard expectation for Portland chauffeur service and removes the awkward cash exchange at the curb. Corporate accounts on Net-30 billing see the gratuity line itemized on the monthly consolidated invoice for cost-center coding. Retail bookings adjust at trip completion.
Extras and add-ons
Extras that bill outside the base quote include child car seats at $25 each for infant, convertible, or booster seats. A PDX meet-and-greet with the chauffeur inside the terminal holding a sign runs $75. Additional stops on hourly bookings add $5 each. Car detail after spills or stains runs $50 to $200 depending on severity. These extras are noted on the original quote when known in advance and settle on the final invoice when added day-of on the road.
04Corporate vs Retail
Net-30 Billing, Concur Export,
Or Card At Booking.
Marquee runs two quote paths depending on the account type. Retail riders confirm the quote with a card-on-file at booking and the card charges at trip completion for the quoted rate plus gratuity and any extras. Corporate accounts with credit approval route through Net-30 billing on a monthly consolidated invoice with cost-center coding and Concur export. Onboarding a new corporate account runs 3 to 5 business days and includes the W-9, the Oregon PUC certificate, and the $1 million commercial liability COI within one hour of the first quote request.
Corporate Net-30 path
Corporate accounts with credit approval receive Net-30 billing on a monthly consolidated invoice. Each ride lines up under the assigned cost center with the rider name, date, route, and quoted rate. The invoice exports to Concur for travel expense workflows and to QuickBooks in CSV format on request. Volume pricing is negotiable for accounts running 50 or more rides per month. Dispatch assigns a dedicated coordinator for recurring bookings to hold the same driver and vehicle across the engagement.
Onboarding documents
Onboarding a new corporate account delivers the W-9 form, the Oregon Public Utility Commission certificate with continuous licensing since 2018, and the $1 million commercial liability certificate of insurance within one hour of the first quote request. Travel managers forward the packet to AP, risk, and vendor-credentialing desks for approval. The full cycle from first quote to live Net-30 billing runs 3 to 5 business days depending on the speed of the internal approval chain on your side.
Retail card at booking
Retail riders confirm the quote with a card-on-file authorization at booking and the card charges at trip completion for the quoted rate plus gratuity and any day-of extras. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover all run. Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted on the invoice link. The authorization hold releases within 1 to 3 business days if the booking cancels more than 24 hours before pickup. PCI-DSS compliance covers the card handling with no stored CVV.
Wedding and event holds
Wedding parties and large event bookings secure the quote with a 25 percent deposit at booking and the balance at trip completion. Multi-vehicle blocks covering the Sprinter and multiple Escalade ESVs lock in a group quote with a single coordinator assigned to the run-of-show. ACH and wire transfer options cover the multi-vehicle payment path. The deposit releases on the original card within 1 to 3 business days if the booking cancels more than 24 hours before the event window.
