Using Miscellaneous Fees to Boost Driver Earnings in Limo Anywhere

While miscellaneous fees in Limo Anywhere are often used for surcharges like parking or tolls, they can also be a powerful tool for rewarding your drivers. Whether you want to provide bonuses for late-night and early-morning pickups, holiday shifts, or other unique services you offer to clients, Limo Anywhere gives you the flexibility to create and apply these incentives directly within your system.                                                                                                                                

Setting Up Miscellaneous Fees

1. Navigate to “My Office” in the top menu
2. Click on the “Rate Management” tab.
3. Select “System Rate Manager” from the left-hand menu.
4. Click the “Add New Rate” button.
5. Under the “Fixed Rate” tab, set the Rate Group to Miscellaneous.
6. Give the rate a clear name, such as “Holiday Bonus”, “Early/Late Shift Fee”, or “Clean Up Fee.”
7. Leave the Default Amt blank, you’ll define the fee amount and rules in the next step.
8. Click “Save.”

Once the rate is saved, apply rules through the Miscellaneous Fees section:

1. Select “Miscellaneous Fees” in the left-hand menu.
2. Click “Add New Fee.”
3. Choose the rate you just created under “Associate with Rate.”
4. Set the Type to Mandatory.
5. Optionally, apply the fee to a specific Service Type, Vehicle Type, or Airport Code.
6. Enter a name in the Miscellaneous Fee Name field.
7. Set the amount in the Miscellaneous Fee Amount field.
8. Choose the relevant date and time conditions for when the fee should apply.

Configuring Fees in Driver Payroll

To ensure your drivers are paid for these fees:

1. Navigate to “My Office”
2. Select the “Company Resources” tab.
3. Select the appropriate name from the list and click “EDIT DRIVER”
4. Go to the “Payroll Setup” tab.
5. Create a new pay schedule or edit an existing stored schedule.
6. Locate the new miscellaneous fee in the pay schedule.
7. Check the box next to the fee name and enter the percentage you’d like to pay out to the driver. You can choose to pay 100% of the fee or only a portion, depending on your preference.

NOTE: Each Vehicle Type in your system can have one pay schedule per driver. This means Driver A and Driver B can have different pay rates for the same Vehicle Type (for example, sedans), but each driver can only have one active pay schedule per Vehicle Type. If your new fee doesn’t appear in a driver’s pay schedule, you may need to delete and recreate the schedule to refresh the available line items.

Driver incentives don’t have to be complicated. With the right setup, Limo Anywhere allows you to automate extra compensation for the times your drivers go the extra mile, both literally and figuratively.
