Your Questions, Answered
Booking & Reservations
Can I book at the last minute?
Yes, we accept last-minute bookings subject to vehicle and chauffeur availability. For pickups within the next few hours, please call us directly rather than using the online form, so dispatch can confirm immediately.
How do I book a ride with Mary Luxury Transport?
You can book directly through our website using our online booking form, by phone, or by email. For best availability, we recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance. However, we can often accommodate last-minute bookings based on vehicle availability. Booking directly with us ensures your preferences are on file and your service isn’t filtered through a third-party aggregator .
How far in advance should I book?
For standard trips (airport transfers, point-to-point), we recommend booking 24 to 48 hours ahead . For special events (weddings, corporate events, prom), book 2-4 weeks in advance. During peak Bay Area events or conference season, availability can tighten significantly — book 1-2 weeks ahead for standard trips .
Can I make changes to my booking?
Yes. You can modify pickup time, location, or vehicle type by contacting us directly. Changes are subject to availability and may incur additional charges depending on notice period . For changes made more than 2 hours before pickup, we typically accommodate at no extra charge beyond any price adjustment .
Airport Transfers (SFO, OAK, SJC)
Do you track flights?
Yes. Our dispatch team monitors your flight in real-time using official airport data . If your flight is delayed or arrives early, your chauffeur’s pickup time adjusts automatically, no calls required from you. This is standard for all airport transfer bookings .
How long will the chauffeur wait if my flight is delayed?
We provide 45-60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from your flight’s landing for airport pickups . This covers most customs and baggage delays. For wait times beyond the grace period, additional waiting is billed at the hourly rate of your vehicle category in 15-minute increments .
Where does the chauffeur meet me at the airport?
Your chauffeur will be waiting inside the terminal at the baggage claim exit with a personalized name sign . For private aviation/FBO arrivals, pickup is coordinated directly with your handler .
Do I need to provide my flight number?
Yes. For airport pickups, providing your flight number is essential for real-time flight tracking . We also need your airline and terminal information.
What if my flight is diverted or rescheduled?
If your flight is diverted or rescheduled, please contact us as soon as possible with the new flight information . While we monitor flights in real-time, communication about major schedule changes helps us ensure a smooth pickup.
