Short trips bill against the minimums. Ski days and lake days are usually flat daily rates.
Quotes are all-in with driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls. Per-mile charges apply only beyond the included distance, and there is no separate gratuity line.
Winter conditions affect time, not the posted rate. Chain controls and storms can lengthen trips, so ski days are booked as full days.
