For customers booking a trip

Three ways to book.

Pick the path that fits the trip. The three are different trades — not tiers — and most operators support more than one.

  • Request Quote

    Works with every operator

    Send your trip details to a specific operator. They confirm availability, price the trip, and reply — usually within minutes to a few hours. Best when the trip has unusual requirements, you want to talk to the operator first, or you’re booking far enough out that wait time doesn’t matter.

    Trade‑off: broadest pool, most flexibility, slowest path. You see the operator before you book.

  • Book Now

    Instant confirmation

    Reserve at the operator’s listed rate without waiting for them to confirm. Available with operators who opted into instant booking and have complete pricing for the vehicle you need. Best for standard trips where speed beats negotiation.

    Trade‑off: instant + known price, narrower pool (only opted-in operators). You see the operator before you book.

  • Best Deal

    Lowest verified price

    Submit the trip; vetted operators bid; the lowest verified price wins. You accept the price up front and we reveal the specific operator at booking confirmation. Best when price beats brand preference and the trip is standard enough that any vetted operator can handle it.

    Trade‑off: lowest price, less choice. The operator is revealed at booking, not before.

The operator flow

Five steps, from lead to payout

No hidden auctions, no anonymous quotes, no surprise fees. Here’s what happens when a customer searches for group transport on LetzCharter.

  1. 1

    Organizer searches for group transport

    Customers enter pickup, destination, date, and passenger count. Our matching engine surfaces operators serving that route and vehicle type.
  2. 2

    You receive a lead — qualified and routed

    Matching requests hit your operator dashboard (and email/SMS if configured). You see the trip details, vehicle requested, and customer contact before you commit.
  3. 3

    Quote in minutes, not days

    Your configured pricing auto-generates a quote, or you adjust for the specific trip. The customer sees your quote side-by-side with others — no opaque auctions.
  4. 4

    Organizer books — you dispatch

    When the customer confirms, the booking lands in your calendar with dispatch-ready details. Use LetzCharter's back-office or push to your existing dispatch tool.
  5. 5

    Stripe payout on trip completion

    Payment is collected up front and held in escrow. Funds release to your connected Stripe account on the trip-complete date — typically 2 business days to your bank.

Questions & answers

Operator FAQs

  • What types of operators does LetzCharter work with?
    Group transportation across modalities — charter buses, party buses, limos, shuttles, tour fleets, and yachts. Air operators (helicopter, private jet) join as that modality opens on the platform. No fleet-size requirement; single-vehicle operators and large fleets both list under the same terms.
  • Do I have to be exclusive to LetzCharter?
    No. Use LetzCharter alongside Limo Anywhere, GroundWidgets, direct bookings, or any other channel. We earn your business by driving quality leads — not by contract lock-in.
  • What's the commission?
    Pilot partners lock in 3%–9% permanently depending on their tier and enrollment window — 3%–7% for early enrollment (through Oct 31, 2026), 5%–9% for late enrollment. Standard rates start at 15% marginal, not flat. See the Pricing page for full tier breakdown. All rates are transparent — no hidden fees, no payment processing markups.
  • How do payouts work?
    We use Stripe Connect. You verify your business once, connect your bank account, and funds release on the trip-complete date. Most operators see funds in their bank within 2 business days of trip completion.
  • What if a customer cancels?
    Cancellation terms follow your configured policy (e.g., full refund 30+ days out, 50% within 14 days, non-refundable within 72 hours). You keep the non-refunded portion; LetzCharter only takes commission on kept revenue.
  • What insurance and licensing is required?
    Active commercial auto insurance meeting or exceeding your state's minimums, a valid USDOT number where applicable, and any state/city operating authority your service requires. We verify before you go live — customers see a 'Verified Operator' badge on your listings.
  • Can I integrate with my existing dispatch software?
    Yes. Bookings export as ICS calendar feeds today, and we're building a public API (v1) for two-way sync with Limo Anywhere, Ground Transit, and custom back-office systems. Email pilot@letzcharter.com if a specific integration matters to you.
