Once your promo is active, promote it across your website, social media, and marketing materials to maximize visibility.

Miscellaneous Fees

Miscellaneous Fees let you build small but impactful add-ons into your pricing. These might include Holiday Fees, or After-Hours Fees, each helping you reflect the true cost of service while maintaining profitability.

Example: Adding an Overnight Fee

1. Click the “My Office” icon in the Navigation Bar.
2. Select the “Rate Management” tab.
3. Click “System Rate Manager” in the left-hand menu.
4. Click the “Add New Rate” button.

8. Click “Save”.
9. Once you’ve setup the rate, select “Miscellaneous Fees” in the left-hand menu.
10. Click “Add New Fee”.

15. Click “Save” to finalize.

These small fees can add up quickly and are an easy, low-effort way to improve your bottom line.

Special Holiday Offers

Combine these tools for creative promotions. For example, you might offer a special rate on a Holiday Lights Tour or New Year’s Eve service.

3. Click “Special Promotion Set Up” in the left-hand menu.

Not using LQC yet? See how operators capture UTMs on every lead, connect offline conversions to Google Ads, map quote totals into Limo Anywhere reservations, and automate pricing logic to protect margins.

What you’ll achieve with Lead Quote Close

• Quote faster, book more: Auto-quote with guardrails, dynamic pricing, and availability-aware rules.
• Eliminate re-entry: Map quoted totals into fixed reservation fields in Limo Anywhere—no double work.
• Measure true ROI: Capture campaign UTMs on leads and connect offline conversions to Google Ads for optimization.
• Protect margins automatically: Time-of-day fees, zone surcharges, low-inventory uplift, and event/holiday rules.
• Stay in control: Block quotes you can’t (or don’t want to) fulfill and reflect maintenance downtime instantly.

automate critical sales tasks and efficiently convert leads into bookings.

The Five Deep Dives (start here)

1) Setting Up Rate Mapping Between Lead Quote Close and Limo Anywhere

Prevent downstream clean-up and billing errors by tying every quoted amount to the right LA fields.
Key takeaways

• Map only to fixed fields (base/flat, wait time, cleanup, discounts). Avoid percentage/multiplier fields (e.g., gratuity, per-hour).
• For hourly work, map hours to a base/fixed field.
• Treat discounts as negative-value items and map them to a discount field.
• Create any missing rates first in My Office → Rate Management, then refresh the mapping list.
• Make critical lines visible when zero so CSRs can edit post-trip.
• Save and test with a sample quote.
  Read: https://www.limoanywhere.com/2025/08/12/setting-up-rate-mapping-between-lead-quote-close-and-limo-anywhere/

2) Utilizing the Right Custom Lead Forms for Your Business Needs

Match the form to the service and placement (homepage banner, weddings, transfers, charter, etc.) to increase completion and data quality.
Highlights

• Form options include Short, Micro, Bootstrap, Party, Horizontal, Center, Transfer, Charter, Extras, Personal, Contact.
• Configure branding, CSS, min/max dates, price display, promo/agent attribution, and account routing.
• Use “Lead Form Configuration Used” in Selection Factors to tailor pricing or promos by form/campaign.
• Note: Excursion is intended for internal use only (not client-facing).

3) Managing Auto-Quote Blocking & Vehicle Availability in Lead Quote Close

Ensure the system only quotes what you can deliver—and when you want to deliver it.
Highlights

• Create blackout policies by zone, service type, vehicle category, lead time, request channel, and more.
• After creating a policy, mark it Active and click Save Changes for it to take effect.
• Mark specific vehicles unavailable (maintenance, detailing, warranty work) so quotes reflect current capacity.
  Read: https://www.limoanywhere.com/2025/07/30/managing-auto-quote-blocking-and-vehicle-availability-in-lead-quote-close/

4) Creating Dynamic Pricing with Selection Factors in Lead Quote Close

Automate margin protection and demand-based pricing—no more manual overrides.
Common plays

• Time of day: add an overnight/early-AM fee.
• Zone surcharges: apply when outside primary areas.
• Low inventory: e.g., fewer than two SUVs available → +15%.
• High-demand dates/events: holiday and concert rules.
• Booking source: online discount vs. manual booking fee; campaign-specific discounts via UTMs.
• Rate-sheet switching based on conditions.

5) Configuring the Addons.LA Chrome Extension for Limo Anywhere

Give CSRs, dispatchers, and managers role-based access to critical Addons/LQC modules without leaving their screen.
Setup in Addons

• Addons → Resources → Employees → (gear) → Chrome Extension
• Generate/Copy token, select allowed features by role, then Update Chrome Extension Settings
  Install in Chrome
• Add from the Web Store → Extension options → enter Company Short Name (this may differ from your Limo Anywhere Company ID) and the token → Save
• Confirm status; new tabs appear in Quotes and Dispatch per your enabled features.

Must-have setup references (bookmark these)

• Add the Lead Form to Your Website
  How the embed works (script/iFrame expander), Inner Element ID (must be an ID), Outer Selector (must be an ancestor), CSS options, and troubleshooting.
  https://kb.limoanywhere.com/docs/adding-lead-form-to-website/
• Validate Domain DNS (Addons)
  Add CNAME records so follow-ups and notifications are authenticated and reduce the chance of spam filtering (delivery is never guaranteed).
  https://kb.limoanywhere.com/docs/validate-domain-dns-addons/
• Google Ads Offline Conversion Setup
  Schedule HTTPS imports so Google Ads can optimize to real outcomes from LQC. Use the exact Google Offline Conversion Name from Lead Quote Close → Marketing → Analytics, and schedule the import daily (example: 4:00 AM).
  https://kb.limoanywhere.com/docs/ad-conversion-setup-for-google-ads-with-lead-quote-close/
• Setup Guide: https://onboarding.limoanywhere.com/lqc-signup  You must be an existing customer with LQC added to your account to access.

Quick-start checklist

1. Embed a form on your site
   • Copy the script from Lead Forms and place it on the page.
   • Set Inner Element ID and Outer Selector (ancestor).
   • Whitelist domains in Lead Quote → Settings → System settings → Whitelisted Hosts.
   • Test submit; confirm expansion/resizing via expander.php (avoid hand-built iFrames).
2. Validate email domain
   • Addons → Settings → Domains → Add New Domain → add records → Validate Domain (DNS can take up to ~48 hours).
3. Configure Selection Factors
   • Start with Time of Day, Zone surcharge, Booking method, and inventory-based rules; add holiday/event logic.
4. Set Auto-Quote Blocking
   • Create policies for service area, lead time, vehicle category, and request channel; add a customer-facing “blocked reason,” mark Active, and Save Changes.
5. Map rates to LA
   • Create missing rates in My Office → Rate Management.
   • Map to fixed fields only; for hourly map to a base/fixed field; set important lines visible when zero; treat discounts as negative-value items mapped to a discount field.
   • Save and test with a sample quote.
6. Turn on attribution & offline conversions
   • Confirm UTMs are captured via the embed/expander.
   • Configure Lead Quote Close → Marketing → Analytics and set a daily Google Ads HTTPS import (e.g., 4:00 AM).

KPIs to monitor weekly

• Lead → Quote rate (form completion & auto-quote success)
• Quote → Reservation conversion rate
• Average quote turnaround time
• % reservations with complete rate mapping
• Revenue & margin by source/campaign
• Blocked-quote count & reasons (tune rules vs. availability)

Common misconfigurations (and fixes)

• Pricing looks off → Manually quote a test lead and click the (?) breakdown; verify rate sheets & Selection Factors.
• Form reloads and never advances → Outer Selector isn’t an ancestor of the Inner Element.
• Form doesn’t resize / UTMs missing → Ensure the embed loads addons.la/…/expander.php; a hand-built iFrame will not resize or pass UTMs.
• Fields missing in the reservation → Revisit Rate Mapping; confirm you mapped to fixed fields and created missing rates.
• Emails landing in spam → Complete DNS validation and re-test.

Pro tips from our implementation team

• Use purpose-built forms (Transfer, Charter, Party) and campaign-specific configurations for cleaner analytics and higher intent.
• Keep post-trip edits simple by making key lines visible when zero.
• Maintain vehicle schedules so quotes always reflect true availability.
• Pair Auto-Quote Blocking with clear customer messaging to reduce drop-offs and calls.

• In the Online Reservation System (ORES): Rates will appear if the client books trips directly.
• In the Limo Anywhere Core System: Rates are displayed when you click the Apply Rate button in a reservation—provided the trip matches the parameters of the Rate Matrix.

Note: This differs from manually entered Account Rates, which only appear in the Account Rates tab.

Promo Codes

If you want to attract more business during local events or holidays, Promo Codes are an excellent tool. Whether it’s a concert, wine tour, prom, holiday, or sporting event, you can create a custom Promo Code to incentivize bookings. Offer discounts, like 5% or 10%, to drive sales, or set up limited-time promotions to boost demand during peak periods.

Once your Promo Code is set up in Limo Anywhere, promote it across your website, marketing materials, and social media to maximize visibility and engagement.

Example: $30 Discount on Airport Transfers during Christmas and New Year’s Week

1. Click the My Office button in the Navigation Bar.
2. Select the Rate Management tab and click the Special Promotions Set Up button in the left-hand menu.
3. Click Add Promo Code.
4. Enter a name in the Promo Code field.
5. Ensure the Is Discount option is checked.
6. Select the service types, such as “To Airport” and “From Airport.”
7. Set the date range for your promotion and provide a description.

8. Navigate to the Promo Discounts tab and enter the discount amount (flat rate or percentage).

9. Click Add Rates to save the information.

Miscellaneous Fees

Miscellaneous Fees are an easy way to boost your bottom line by incorporating additional fees into your regular pricing structure. Popular fees include Car Seat Fees, Holiday Fees, and Off-Peak Fees. These fees are simple to set up and can quickly enhance your revenue without increasing overhead.

For instance, car seat fees may range from $10 to $25, and holiday upcharges might vary from $15 to $50, depending on the occasion. Similarly, Off-Peak Fees typically range around $25, but some companies charge up to $50. By incorporating these fees, you can align your pricing with service demands and market conditions.

Example: Setting a Car Seat Fee

1. Click the My Office button in the Navigation Bar.
2. Select the Rate Management tab and click System Rate Manager in the left-hand menu.
3. Click Add New Rate and select the Fixed Rate tab.
4. From the Rate Group dropdown, choose Miscellaneous.
5. Enter a name in the Rate Name field (e.g., Car Seat Fee) and click Save.
6. Go to the Miscellaneous Fees section and click Add New Fee.
7. Associate the fee with the rate you created and enter the amount.
8. Save the fee to include it in your standard pricing.

Peak Pricing

During high-demand periods like the holidays, Peak Pricing helps cover the additional costs of operating while allowing you to maintain profitability. You can implement a flat-rate fee, or if you prefer, apply a percentage-based increase for specific days or services.

Example: Holiday Peak Pricing

1. Click the My Office button in the Navigation Bar.
2. Select the Rate Management tab and click System Rate Manager.
3. Click Add New Rate and select either the Fixed Rate or Percentage Rate tab.
4. Choose Miscellaneous from the Rate Group dropdown.
5. Enter a name in the Rate Name field (e.g., Holiday Fee or Peak Fee) and click Save.
6. Set the pricing rules in the Miscellaneous Fees section, and specify the dates for the fee to apply.

Holiday Promo Codes and Special Offers

To further drive bookings during the holiday season, Promo Codes can be used in creative ways. For example, you can create a discounted rate for airport transfers or promote special services like a Holiday Lights Tour.

Example: Special Promotional Rate for a Holiday Lights Tour

1. Follow the same steps for creating a new Promo Code but leave the Is Discount box unchecked.
2. Specify the parameters for service type, vehicle type, and dates.
3. Navigate to the Promo Rates tab to enter the desired pricing breakdown.

By incorporating these strategies, you can effectively increase revenue and optimize your pricing structure using Limo Anywhere. Whether through Promo Codes, Miscellaneous Fees, or Peak Pricing, these tools give you the flexibility to adapt to market conditions and enhance your business’s profitability.

The post Boost Your Revenue with Promo Codes, Miscellaneous Fees, and Holiday Pricing appeared first on Limo Anywhere.

During the holiday season or other peak times, you might have ‘premium’ dates that you want to charge an additional fee for services. Maybe you pay your chauffeurs and office staff premium wages for working those dates and you need to cover the expense.

You can create a flat amount or percentage increase by adding a Miscellaneous Fee to your Rate Breakdown.

Start in Rate Management and choose System Rate Manger and click Add New Rate. For a flat rate, add the fee under “Fixed Rate” and select “Miscellaneous” from the drop down. It’s important to note you should leave the “default amount” blank – this will allow you to apply rules (in this case dates) to this fee, rather than having this fee appear by default on every trip.

Now that you’ve added this fee to your rate breakdown, you’ll go to “Miscellaneous Fees” and enter the rules and the amount of the fee. Some things to note here: you will need to associate this miscellaneous fee with the rate item you just added to your breakdown – this should appear in the dropdown menu. Next to that, the option for Optional or Mandatory indicates if this fee is applied automatically in ORES (yes for holiday or peak fees) or if your client must select it (useful for car seats, and the like). You can create multiple date ranges by entering one range, hitting “add,” and then entering another range and repeating.

If you’d rather do a percentage increase on these dates, the process is the same, but in the System Rate Manger you’ll enter the rate under “percentage rate” and when you set up the miscellaneous fee, the “amount” field will indicate a percentage rather than a flat fee.

Feature 2: Holiday Promo Codes

At the same time, you may be interested in creating holiday promo/discount pricing, perhaps to encourage booking during the season, but not on the holiday itself.

Did you know that Limo Anywhere gives you the ability to create promotional pricing, by setting up promo codes that will either populate a promotional rate, or apply a discount (percentage OR flat amount)?

Let’s look at a couple examples to help you think about ways to use this feature for your business:

Scenario A. You offer a $25 discount on all airport transfers during the week between Christmas and New Years.

Under your Rate Management tab, select Special Promotions Set Up and then Add New Promo Code. Enter a code, and define the desired rules. In this case, I checked “is discount” (leaving this unchecked would indicate a promotional rate, versus a discount). Then I selected the service types “To Airport” and “From Airport” so the discount applies to my airport transfers, and finally I selected a date range – December 26  – December 29, 2020. There is also a free-form text field for you to write a description of the promotion. When you’re ready, click on Add Promo Code.

Now we’re not quite done yet – you’ll notice when you first add a promo code, it will appear in red text on your list, indicating it is not yet complete. So next we move to the Promo Discounts tab to complete the discount info. Here I entered $25.00 in the Promo Discount line (this area will show any items in your Rate Breakdown that are defined as discounts). The line item where you choose to enter the discount amount associated with this promo code will determine if it is $25 or 25%. Once you’ve entered the discount value, and you click Add Rates, the discount code will appear in black text.

Scenario B. You are offering a Holiday Lights Tour service in your Sprinter during the season. You have a package price for this service, but you offer a special promotional rate of $200 from January 2 – January 8.

Again, you will add a new Promo Code, but this time, leave the “discount” box unchecked, and set any desired parameters regarding Service Type, Vehicle Type, Zip Codes, Airports, and Dates.

In this case, in taking the next step to add the pricing information, we’ll use the Promo Rates tab, and enter any info that applies in the rate breakdown.

Note that you can adjust any items in the rate breakdown, to make the total come out as desired. So if you wanted to make $200 the all-in rate, you could adjust the flat rate and the gratuity until the grand total displays the desired rate.

There you go – two great features for this season that we find are often under-utilized!

The post Holiday Pricing: A Favorite Things Special Double Feature appeared first on Limo Anywhere.

The key to making any of these line items work for you in Limo Anywhere is Criteria Based Fees. You’ll notice when setting up your itemized rate breakdown, there is an opportunity to enter a default amount. This is great when the item is universally applied, like a standard gratuity. However, many items are dependent on certain reservation details. When this is the case, Criteria Based Fees are the way to go.

In the rate breakdown, you identified if the fee is a multiplier, a percentage, or a flat amount. In the Miscellaneous Fees sections, you’ll create logical rules to tell LA when the fee might apply and the dollar amount or percentage associated with each rule. Let’s take a look at an example.

Miscellaneous Fee: There is a $4 Airport Fee for pick-ups only at a specific airport

In your rate breakdown, you included a fixed amount line item called Airport Fee. Now in the Miscellaneous Fees area, you’ll click Add New Fee, and enter the details and criteria in the box. First, select the rate item associated with the fee. In this case, I selected Airport Fee, and I made the fee Mandatory, which means that a Quote or an ORES booking will automatically include the fee on any trip that meets the criteria. And then I selected my criteria – this fee applies only to Service Type “From Airport” and only to a specific airport. I gave it a name and filled in the amount that should apply. You can see here that you can also include routing based rules, which are particularly useful in applying taxes and known tolls. Do take note that all criteria are positive/inclusive, so you cannot create a rule that would exempt certain trips from the fee.

If you aren\’t using Miscellaneous Fees, check them out–they can simplify your business and increase your revenue.

• $2.50 per trip in yellow taxis
• $2.75 per trip in For-Hire Vehicles
• $0.75 per passenger for shared rides

The surcharge does not apply if the trip does not start and end in New York State, or if the trip is provided by or on behalf of the MTA.

State Law requires that that the Congestion Surcharge must be passed on to the passenger and may not be deducted from the driver’s pay. Additionally, State Law further requires that Medallion Owners and FHV Bases remit the surcharge to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

For full details and more info, click here.

What does this mean for some Limo Anywhere users?

If you have any trips beginning, ending or passing through Manhattan below 96th St, you will need to charge your passenger the Congestion Surcharge and remit the surcharge to the New York Department of Taxation and Finance.

How do I create the Congestion Surcharge?

You can create the Congestion Surcharge in Limo Anywhere under My Office>Rate Management tab>System Rate Manager.

More than likely you will add a new Fixed Rate in Rate Group: Miscellaneous with the name “Congestion Surcharge” and a default amount of 0.00.

You could also edit an existing Miscellaneous Fixed Rate in System Rate Manager if you choose to do so.

This will create a rate line item on your reservation so you can enter in the Congestion Surcharge. Many lending companies such as shinycash.com offer financial assistance and parking bills.

How do I run a report on the Congestion Surcharge so I know the total amount I collected?

There are a couple of different reports you can generate to get this Congestion Surcharge total. The easiest way, if you created the surcharge like above, is to run a Sales Revenue Report with Report Type: Misc Charges.

This report will total the Miscellaneous Charges at the bottom of the generated report.

If I use DriverAnywhere, can my driver add the Congestion Surcharge in the app?

Yes, if you map the Congestion Surcharge for use in DriverAnywhere and your driver is allowed to Edit Rate Data.

To map the Congestion Surcharge for use in DriverAnywhere, go to My Office>Company Preferences>DriverAnywhere and our suggestion would be to map either Miscellaneous 1 or 2 to Congestion Surcharge.

If you want to allow your driver to Edit Rate Data, then you can go to My Office>Company Resources>Drivers and edit the driver’s profile and go to DriverAnywhere settings. Checkmark “See Rate Data” and Edit Rate Data”. Note: this only allows them to see or edit Tolls, Parking, Miscellaneous1 and Miscellaneous 2 mapped fields above.

Now that Driver can add the Congestion Surcharge in Driver Anywhere under the “Update” screen.

The post Congestion Tax Pricing in New York City appeared first on Limo Anywhere.

In October, the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) implemented new regulations to medallion owners and for-hire bases to collect the congestion surcharge, as required by State Law. The amount of the surcharge depends on the type of vehicle that provides the transportation in or through the congestion zone, as follows:

• $2.75 per trip provided by a for-hire vehicle that is not a taxi or a pool vehicle
• $2.50 per trip provided by a medallion (yellow) taxicab vehicle
• $0.75 per passenger for a trip provided by a pool vehicle.

State Law requires that the Congestion Surcharge must be passed on to the passenger and may not be deducted from the driver’s pay. Additionally, State Law further requires that Medallion Owners and FHV Bases remit the surcharge to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

What Does This Mean for GroundLink Travelers?

Beginning January 1, 2019, all GroundLink rides, whose routes are scheduled to start, pass through or end in New York State and begin, end, or pass through Manhattan below 96th St, will require a surcharge of $2.75 to be added to their final receipt.

Our goal is to continue providing premier black car service for our customers and we apologize for any inconvenience this congestion tax may cause. For full details and more info, click here.
