PaySec + Limo Anywhere: Zero Processing Fees for Limousine and Car Services
How limo companies and black car services using Limo Anywhere are eliminating credit card processing fees with PaySec.
The luxury ground transportation business operates in a unique financial environment. Ride values are high -- airport transfers at $85 to $150, hourly charters at $100 to $300 per hour, and event packages that routinely exceed $1,000 to $2,000 per booking. Virtually every customer pays by credit card. Corporate accounts bill monthly and pay by card as well. This combination of high transaction values and near-universal card payment means transportation companies pay some of the highest processing fees of any service industry.
Limo Anywhere is the dispatch and reservation management platform that thousands of limousine, black car, and chauffeured transportation companies rely on to manage their operations. It handles reservations, dispatching, driver assignments, fleet tracking, customer management, and billing. It is the operational backbone for everything from single-vehicle owner-operators to large multi-city fleets.
What Limo Anywhere cannot control is the 2.5 to 2.9 percent that your payment processor takes from every ride. For a mid-size fleet processing $90,000 per month, that is over $29,000 per year. For a large operation at $250,000 per month, annual processing fees surpass $81,000. PaySec eliminates those fees through Network Offset Pricing, connecting directly to your Limo Anywhere workflow.
What Is the PaySec + Limo Anywhere Integration?
PaySec integrates with Limo Anywhere's payment collection process to add Network Offset Pricing (NOP) at every payment touchpoint. NOP is a dual pricing model that presents the customer or corporate account with two payment options: the base ride or invoice amount if paying by ACH, check, or cash, and a slightly higher amount if paying by credit card. The customer chooses, and the transportation company receives the full booking amount regardless of payment method.
NOP is legal in all 50 states and fully compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and all other major card network rules. It is a transparent pricing model that gives your customers a choice rather than embedding processing costs invisibly in your rates.
The Real Cost of Processing Fees for Transportation Companies
Transportation companies process significant monthly card volume because of their high per-ride values and card-dominant payment mix:
| Company Size | Monthly Revenue | Processing Rate | Annual Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small fleet (5 vehicles) | $30,000 | 2.7% | $9,720 |
| Mid fleet (15 vehicles) | $90,000 | 2.7% | $29,160 |
| Large fleet (40+ vehicles) | $250,000 | 2.7% | $81,000 |
| Multi-city operator | $500,000 | 2.5% | $150,000 |
For a 15-vehicle fleet, $29,160 in annual processing fees is the cost of leasing another vehicle, hiring a dispatcher, or funding a year of marketing. For a large fleet, $81,000 annually is a staggering amount to pay simply for the privilege of accepting credit cards.
How Network Offset Pricing Works with Limo Anywhere
Here is how dual pricing applies across common transportation bookings:
| Booking Type | Cash/ACH Price | Card Price |
|---|---|---|
| Airport transfer | $85.00 | $88.40 |
| Hourly charter (3 hours) | $300.00 | $312.00 |
| Wedding package (full day) | $2,000.00 | $2,080.00 |
| Concert/event round trip | $250.00 | $260.00 |
| Corporate airport run | $120.00 | $124.80 |
| Point-to-point executive sedan | $65.00 | $67.60 |
On a single wedding package, the company saves $50 in processing fees. Across a busy wedding season with 15 to 20 packages per month, that is $750 to $1,000 per month in savings from wedding bookings alone.
Corporate Account Billing
Corporate accounts represent a significant revenue stream for many transportation companies. These accounts are billed monthly and often process $5,000 to $50,000 or more per month per account. With PaySec:
- Monthly corporate invoices include a PaySec payment link with dual pricing
- Corporate clients see the ACH option at the invoice amount and the card option at a slightly higher amount
- The ACH option incentivizes faster, lower-cost payment
- Every dollar of corporate volume processes at zero cost to the transportation company
A single corporate account paying $20,000 per month by card generates $6,480 in annual processing fees under traditional pricing. PaySec eliminates that entirely.

The PaySec + Limo Anywhere integration delivers value to any chauffeured transportation company that processes card payments. It is especially impactful for:
- Small fleet operators (3-10 vehicles) where processing fees represent a disproportionate share of net profit
- Mid-size fleets (10-25 vehicles) processing enough volume that annual fees reach five figures
- Large and multi-city operators where combined fleet volume generates six-figure annual processing costs
- Companies with heavy corporate accounts billing large monthly invoices that generate substantial per-account fees
- Wedding and event specialists processing high-value packages during peak seasons
- Airport transfer specialists with high ride volume and consistent per-ride values that accumulate fees quickly
