Vehicles

We provide a full fleet of late-model sedans, SUVs, Spriner vans, and coaches of varying passenger capacities.

Different vehicles have different capabilities and amenities. Some of our vehicles have screens, surroundsound systems, various outlets for charging your devices, and more. Your driver can provide a Wi-Fi hotspot, but be aware that if a lot of passengers try to connect to it at once, the connection speed will degrade.

Our fleet is comprised of all late-model executive and luxury vehicles.

In the event on an accident or breakdown, your chauffeur will first assess the situation for immediate danger or injuries and contact dispatch and emergency services as needed. Dispatch will work with you to secure replacement transportation in as timely a manner as the situation allows.

We do not have ADA-accessible vehicles in our fleet at this time, but we do work with partner companies that can provide them. If you need such a vehicle, please ask, and we’ll do what we can to accommodate you.

No, we do not rent out vehicles without chauffeurs.

Smoking is prohibited in our vehicles, and any clients doing so will be subject to an additional cleaning fee of no less than $250.

Chauffeur

All of our chauffeurs undergo thorough pre-employment background checks. All chauffeurs who drive vehicles requiring a Commercial chauffeur’s License are subject to pre-employment drug and alcohol screenings and random screenings over the duration of their employment with Diamond Transportation.

Our chauffeurs receive extensive instruction in and are held to high standard of excellence in a variety of areas including driver safety, customer care, local area knowledge, and client confidentiality.

Absolutely! Your chauffeur will assume you would like help with your luggage and will gladly assist you with it. You can request that they not do so, but please allow them to at least put your luggage into the vehicle and secure it before departing.

You will be provided your chauffeur’s name and cell phone number prior to your reservation.

All of our chauffeurs are employees of Diamond Transportation. On occassion, we have to subcontract out runs due to vehicle or driver availability. When such need arises, we only uses thoroughly vetted partners that we trust to take care of our clients.

If you have a multi-day charter or any reservation that requires a sleeping period for the chauffeur, you will be responsible for their hotel room. We recommend that you book a room in the same hotel you are staying in for your convenience. However, if this is not feasible, we require a minimum of 2-star accommodations for our chauffeurs.

A 10% gratuity is already included in the cost of your reservation. Any further gratuity is at your discretion

Our chauffeurs wear black three-piece suits with a white shirt, teal-blue tie, and black dress shoes.

Booking

In order to provide an accurate price estimate, we would need to know what sort of vehicle you need, your date and time of service, how long you need the vehicle for, and any special requests you may have.

We will do everything we can to make your changes work regardless of when you request them. We don’t disallow last-minute changes, but we can only fulfill them if the current schedule allows.

A specific itinerary is preferred and can be required for out-of-state travel, but it’s not an issue for local charters. Our chauffeurs have in-depth knowledge of the local areas and are more than happy to work “as-directed.”

We recommend at least 24-hour notice for any sedan or SUV reservation. Sprinters should be booked at least three days in advance, and coaches should be booked a week out or more. These preferred lead times increase during special events and the busy season from February through May. However, we will accept reservations up to and including the requested day of service as long as availability permits.

Billing

Sedan and SUV transfers can be cancelled 12 hours in advance of your scheduled reservation without penalty. Anything beyond that will be billed in full. For Sprinter reservations, it’s 72 hours, and for coaches we require 7 days notice to cancel.

We accept credit card and electronic funds transfers. If paying with an EFT, we still require a credit card on file.

Point-to-point transfers are charged a flat rate based upon the pickup and drop off locations. Hourly charters are billed from when our vehicle leaves our lot until it returns. Over-the-road trips are billed per mile.

Third-party fees are not covered in the cost of your reservation. This would be thing like venue entrance fees, tolls, wine-tastings, etc. We also charge a cleaning fee if your reservation requires travel down a dirt road or if there is an excessive mess beyond what is reasonable after your trip has concluded.

Payment is due prior to service and is generally required in full to confirm your booking. In the case of large group transportaiton with several reservations, we may allow for a deposit. This is done on a case-by-case basis.

While we endeavor to provide accurate estimates for your service prior to booking, extra stops, extended waits, and extended services not in the initial request can result in additional charges.

Airport Transfers

For commercial airports, you driver will either meet you in baggage claim with a name sign. This can change depending upon the airport, so ask your reservationist. At private airports, your driver will meet you on the tarmac. It is very important that you provide accurate flight info for commercial trips and tail numbers for private flgihts. These are required for us to meet you when your flight lands.

Our booking system constantly monitors commercial flights and will update the driver automatically. Your chauffeur will also monitor the flight manually and meet you when your flight lands. If your chauffeur is unable to meet you due to an extreme change in your scheduled arrival time, dispatch will work to reassign another driver and vehicle to cover your reservation. If this happens, new driver information will be texted to you. You may not see this until your flight lands. For private flights, we monitor them when possible. If your flight cannot be monitored, we will arrive when scheduled. Delays in this case can result in wait charges.

We recommend that you arrive two hours prior to flight departure for larger airport such as Phoenix Sky Harbor. Smaller airports, such at Tucson International, only require that you arrive one hour prior to departure and will schedule your pickup to ensure this unless you specify otherwise. If you have an express check-in pass, this time can be reduced to 30 minutes.
