01 How To Book
How Do You Book?
Phone, Online, Or Corporate Direct-Bill
Booking a Marquee chauffeur in Portland runs through three entry points. The phone line at (503) 706-8662 reaches a live dispatcher around the clock without a voicemail tree or phone menu. The online reservation form on the website handles non-urgent bookings 24 hours ahead with a dispatcher callback to verify details. Corporate accounts with approved credit book through a direct-bill portal tied to Net-30 terms and monthly consolidated invoices.
Each entry point lands in the same dispatch system, and every hourly rate is all-in with the 20 percent service fee included — gratuity stays optional and is never auto-added. Volvo S90 $110/hr · Cadillac Escalade ESV $135/hr · Mercedes-Benz Sprinter $165/hr · VIP Lounge Sprinter $190/hr. Hourly work carries a three-hour minimum, so an hourly booking starts at $330 in the S90, $405 in the Escalade ESV, $495 in the Sprinter, and $570 in the VIP Lounge Sprinter. Airport and city-to-city transfers are quoted point to point instead, and PDX to downtown Portland starts at $150 in the S90.
Phone booking with live dispatcher
Call (503) 706-8662 to reach a live Marquee dispatcher at any hour. The line has no phone menu, no voicemail routing, and no offshore call center. A local Portland dispatcher answers on the first or second ring and takes the pickup address, destination, date, time, passenger count, and vehicle preference on the initial exchange.
Same-day bookings, multi-stop itineraries, flight-delay adjustments, and medical discharge timing updates all move faster on the phone than the web form. The dispatcher knows the Portland routes and recommends the right vehicle when the booking details are open. Every other channel for reaching the desk is listed on the contact Marquee Chauffeur page.
Online reservation form
The online reservation form handles standard bookings at least 24 hours ahead of pickup. The Start your reservation button on this page opens that form, which asks for the trip details dispatch needs to confirm the booking. A dispatcher calls back within ten minutes during business hours and within one hour overnight to verify the booking, lock the hourly quote, and share the written confirmation by email. The online path works well for airport runs, corporate commutes, and advance wedding bookings where the itinerary is set. Complex or multi-day itineraries start faster through a custom chauffeur quote.
Corporate direct-bill setup
Companies with approved Net-30 credit run their reservations through the direct-bill portal. The portal collects the client's details and reservation type, returns an accurate rate, and on acceptance collects the details needed to execute the service. After activation, rides consolidate onto one monthly invoice with Concur-ready export and QuickBooks import files. Setup requires a short intake, a W-9 exchange, and a credit approval window of 3 to 5 business days. The Portland private-for-hire permit and a certificate of insurance naming the company as additional insured go out with the onboarding paperwork.
02 Confirmation Flow
What Happens After Booking?
Quote Lock, Card Auth, Day-Before SMS
Every Marquee reservation runs the same confirmation flow: the hourly quote locks at booking with no surge pricing, and the card-on-file authorization holds until the final charge processes at trip completion. A day-before SMS restates the details, and a morning-of SMS shares the chauffeur's name, vehicle, plate, and a direct contact number. The full pre-auth, SMS, and morning-of confirmation flow is detailed on the reservation page.
Quote lock with no surge pricing
The hourly quote on a Marquee booking locks at the time of reservation and holds through pickup without adjustment. Peak evenings, Friday rush, Saturday wedding blocks, and Portland convention weekends do not trigger surge multipliers. A Volvo S90 at $110 per hour booked two weeks out stays at $110 per hour on the day of the ride. The locked quote makes corporate budgeting straightforward because the rate is all-in — the travel manager knows the hourly total before the ride runs, with only tolls and any optional gratuity added on top. No rideshare-style surge calculation applies at any hour of the day.
Card-on-file authorization
The card-on-file authorization holds at booking for the estimated ride total plus a buffer of roughly 25 percent for tolls and any optional gratuity you choose to add. The authorization does not charge the card at reservation. The final charge processes within two hours of trip completion against the actual hourly total, adjusted for any extended wait time or route changes requested during the ride. Corporate Net-30 accounts skip the card authorization and charge to the monthly consolidated invoice instead. All card processing runs through PCI-compliant infrastructure with no stored CVV on the Marquee side.
Day-before confirmation SMS
A confirmation SMS lands on the passenger phone the day before the scheduled pickup. The message restates the pickup address, destination, date and time, vehicle class, and passenger count for a final review. The passenger can reply to confirm or flag a change, and the dispatcher reads the response within 30 minutes during business hours. The SMS includes a direct dispatch line for urgent modifications and a reminder of the cancellation window. Airport runs also receive a reminder of the terminal and airline for final verification before the flight day.
Chauffeur and vehicle details morning of
The morning of the ride, a second SMS goes out with the assigned chauffeur's name, the vehicle make and model, the vehicle color, the license plate, and a direct phone number for the chauffeur. PDX return pickups include the island 3 meeting point outside baggage claim and the FlightAware tracking reference. Downtown Portland hotel pickups include the recommended curb position based on current traffic conditions. The morning-of message removes the guesswork at the curb and lets the passenger identify the right vehicle without a second phone call back to dispatch.
03 Dispatch Details
What Does Dispatch Need?
Addresses, Passengers, Flight Data
Dispatch needs four categories of information to confirm a Portland chauffeur booking. The pickup and drop-off addresses set the route and decide which pricing model applies: an hourly block, which runs a three-hour minimum and carries no per-stop fee, or a point-to-point transfer, which bills $25 for each additional stop. The passenger count and luggage count drive the vehicle class match from Volvo S90 to Escalade ESV to Sprinter. Flight number or tail number on airport runs feeds FlightAware tracking for live arrival adjustments. Special requests including car seats, wheelchair accessibility, and pet accommodations get loaded on the reservation for the assigned chauffeur. Everything dispatch collects is governed by the Privacy Policy.
Pickup and drop-off addresses
Dispatch captures the full street address for both pickup and drop-off including suite number, building entrance, and the gate or lobby instructions the chauffeur should follow on arrival. Hotel pickups specify the main entrance versus a side valet door. Residential pickups note driveway accessibility for the Escalade ESV or Sprinter wheelbase. Corporate pickups identify the specific lobby or loading dock when the building has multiple entrances. Multi-stop itineraries list each address in sequence with the approximate dwell time at each stop so the chauffeur plans the route and the hourly block lines up with the actual schedule.
Passenger count and luggage count
Passenger count sets the vehicle match at booking. One to three passengers with light luggage fit the Volvo S90. Four to six passengers with airport luggage fit the Cadillac Escalade ESV. Seven to fourteen passengers book the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Groups of up to ten who want the lounge configuration book the VIP Lounge Sprinter instead. Luggage count matters separately from passenger count: the Volvo S90 holds two large cases plus two carry-ons, the Escalade ESV holds six checked bags plus carry-ons, and a three-person PDX airport group travelling heavier than that moves up to the Sprinter, which carries full-group luggage for all fourteen seats. Ski equipment, golf bags, musical instruments, and oversized strollers all get flagged on the reservation so the trunk space holds before the chauffeur arrives at the curb.
Flight number or tail number
Airport runs to and from PDX require the airline and flight number so FlightAware tracking feeds live arrival data into dispatch. A two-hour weather delay shifts the chauffeur's arrival with no meter running on the wait. A 30-minute early landing stages the Volvo S90 at island 3 outside baggage claim before the passenger clears the carousel. Private aviation pickups at Hillsboro Airport, Aurora State Airport, or Portland-Troutdale Airport require the tail number on the reservation for the same live tracking benefit. International arrivals add 30 to 45 minutes of Customs and Immigration buffer into the return window automatically.
Special requests and accommodations
Special requests load on the reservation for the assigned chauffeur to prepare. Infant car seats, booster seats, and forward-facing child seats install before pickup with the parent specifying weight range and seat count. Wheelchair-accessible transport routes through the Sprinter with appropriate staging. Pet-friendly rides note the animal size and whether the carrier rides in the trunk or on the seat. Bottled water, phone chargers, and specific climate settings all get preset before the curb arrival. Medical transport from Providence Portland or OHSU flags mobility assistance and discharge paperwork wait time on the hourly block.
04 Change And Cancel
What About Changes?
Free Modifications, Cancellation, Weather Holds
Marquee reservations treat modifications and cancellations separately. Free modifications move through dispatch up to 24 hours before pickup with no rebooking fee. Cancellation turns on the vehicle: the Volvo S90 and the Cadillac Escalade ESV carry a 24-hour free window with the full fare due after it, while the two Sprinters cancel free only beyond 7 days and cannot be cancelled inside that. Safety holds called by dispatch sit outside both windows entirely.
Free modifications up to 24 hours
Any reservation modification made more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup moves through dispatch without a rebooking fee. Pickup address swaps from a hotel to a residential street, destination changes from PDX to Hillsboro Airport, passenger count adjustments that shift the vehicle class, and timing shifts inside a 4-hour window all process free in that outer window.
Multi-day itineraries get modified one leg at a time without affecting the rest of the schedule. The modification confirms by email within ten minutes of the dispatch conversation, and the locked quote recalculates if the change affects the hourly block.
Same-day change protocol
Same-day changes route through the (503) 706-8662 dispatch line because inventory moves hour by hour and the online system lags the live fleet position. A live dispatcher checks the current chauffeur assignment, the vehicle position, and the load on the rest of the day to adjust the booking. Pickup time pulls up to 30 minutes earlier or later usually hold without disruption. Vehicle class changes mid-day depend on whether an Escalade ESV or Sprinter is free at the requested hour. Route changes add to or reduce the hourly block based on the revised itinerary.
Cancellation by vehicle class
Two windows govern every booking, and neither carries a partial charge. Sedan and SUV reservations end at no cost with a day or more of notice, and the complete fare applies once the pickup sits under 24 hours away. Sprinter reservations release with a full refund more than 7 days out and cannot be cancelled after that. Both windows read the same for individual bookings, wedding multi-vehicle blocks, and corporate recurring reservations.
Weather-related holds
Weather-related holds initiated by Marquee dispatch for safety reasons sit outside the cancellation window and carry no charge to the passenger. Ice storms on the West Hills, snow events through the Columbia River Gorge, and flooding on I-5 or I-205 all trigger a dispatcher review of pending runs. The dispatcher calls the passenger to propose a delay, reroute, or rebooking at no penalty. Passenger-initiated cancellations during a weather event still fall under the standard cancellation window for the booked vehicle unless dispatch has already flagged the route for safety. FlightAware-tracked flight cancellations trigger automatic airport-run holds without charge.

Frequently Asked
Questions, Answered.
How far ahead should I book a Portland chauffeur?
Standard booking lead time runs two to three weeks, and four to six weeks through peak season. The VIP Lounge Sprinter on a contested wedding Saturday or New Year's Eve books 60 to 90 days out. Short-notice PDX transfers, downtown Portland corporate runs, and evening dinner pickups often still lock 24 to 48 hours before pickup. Same-day requests route through the (503) 706-8662 dispatch line based on fleet availability.
Do you offer same-day availability?
Yes. The (503) 706-8662 dispatch line stays open around the clock with a live operator rather than a voicemail tree, and same-day bookings route through based on current fleet position. A Volvo S90 can stage to a downtown Portland pickup within 45 to 60 minutes when inventory holds. Last-minute PDX runs during the 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. peak and Friday evening corporate-event pickups book up first, so early dispatch contact on same-day requests improves the match rate.
Can I modify a reservation after booking?
Free modifications run up to 24 hours before pickup on standard reservations. Pickup address changes, destination adjustments, passenger count updates, and vehicle class swaps move through dispatch without rebooking fees inside that window. Same-day modifications go through a live dispatcher at (503) 706-8662 and adjust based on fleet availability rather than app logic. Recurring weekly medical and corporate accounts adjust the schedule through the account coordinator on a rolling basis.
What cancellation terms apply once I book?
Cancellation depends on the vehicle booked. A Volvo S90 or Cadillac Escalade ESV cancels free of charge when dispatch hears 24 hours or more before pickup, and the entire fare is charged once the booking sits inside that day. The Passenger Sprinter and the VIP Lounge Sprinter refund in full when cancelled more than 7 days ahead of the pickup date, and inside those 7 days the reservation cannot be cancelled. Weather-related holds initiated by dispatch rather than the passenger do not count against the cancellation window.
What payment methods do you accept?
Marquee accepts all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. The card-on-file authorization holds at booking and runs at trip completion. Corporate accounts with approved credit set up Net-30 direct billing with monthly consolidated invoices. ACH and wire transfer work for large convention blocks and multi-vehicle wedding bookings. Apple Pay and Google Pay process through the same card-on-file workflow when added to the passenger profile.
How do I get an invoice or receipt?
Receipts email automatically within 15 minutes of trip completion to the address on the reservation profile. Each receipt includes the chauffeur name, vehicle class, pickup and drop-off addresses, start and end times, hourly total, tolls, and gratuity if added. Corporate accounts on Net-30 billing receive a consolidated monthly invoice with cost-center coding, Concur-ready export, and line-item detail per ride. Retroactive receipt reissues for expense reports process through the (503) 706-8662 dispatch line.
How do corporate accounts get set up?
Corporate account setup runs through a short intake with the travel manager or AP contact. Marquee sends the W-9, $1 million commercial liability certificate, and Portland private-for-hire permit for vendor onboarding within an hour of the request. Credit approval for Net-30 terms processes in 3 to 5 business days. Once active, the account books recurring weekly routes, consolidates charges on one monthly invoice, and exports ride data to Concur or QuickBooks with cost-center coding split across departments.
Can one invoice cover multi-party bookings?
Yes. A single corporate account can book multiple passenger pickups across different dates, vehicles, and routes onto one consolidated monthly invoice. Wedding planners and convention coordinators also book multi-vehicle groups under one billing contact with passenger manifests tied to each ride. Cost-center coding tags rides to the right department or event budget on the Concur-ready export, and the monthly statement lists each ride with pickup details for straightforward expense reconciliation.
