0% LetzCharter commission applies for the duration of the active 12-month subscription. The locked rate activates once the full 12-month subscription completes. If the subscription is canceled before month 12, the locked rate is forfeited. If the marketplace isn’t live by month 12, the pilot extends at no extra cost. Pay-in-Full has a 30-day full refund window from prepaid checkout; non-refundable thereafter. Choose monthly or annual at checkout.

Questions & answers
Common questions
Do I have to use the back-office tools?
No. The marketplace is the core product. Back-office tools are included for all operators as a native platform feature — you can use any system you prefer.Can customers see my phone number or contact me directly?
Customers see your company name, fleet, reviews, and service areas. Communication happens through the platform. After booking, day-of contact details (driver phone, pickup instructions) are shared.What if the marketplace doesn't get enough customers?
LetzCharter drives customer traffic via SEO, content marketing, directory pages, and paid advertising post-launch. We share quarterly marketing updates with all partners. And during your subscription, you pay 0% commission on all bookings.What happens if the marketplace isn't ready by month 12?
Your pilot extends at no additional cost until the marketplace launches. No extra fees. Your permanently locked rates are guaranteed.Can I transfer my benefits if I sell my company?
Yes. Rates are entity-transferable. Benefits transfer to the new owner with 30 days notice to us, subject to the terms.What's the minimum commitment?
3 months (non-cancellable). Stay the full 12 months to earn permanently locked rates. After month 3, you can exit with 30 days notice — but you forfeit the permanent lock.How do you handle disputes with customers?
Customers contact our support team first. We mediate between customer and operator, verify cancellation terms, and process refunds per your configured policy. You set your own cancellation terms and they're displayed to customers before booking.What are the insurance and vetting requirements?
You must be a legally registered business with all required licenses for your vehicle type (FMCSA/DOT for buses, USCG for boats, etc.) and maintain adequate insurance. We verify credentials during onboarding. DOT and MC numbers are collected to help establish trust with customers.What markets are you focusing on first?
We're starting nationwide. Operators set their own service areas and radius. The marketplace matches customers to operators based on location, vehicle type, and capacity. We're not geo-restricting the pilot.What types of operators can join?
Any company that provides group transportation: charter bus, party bus, limousine, yacht/boat charter, shuttle, tour operator, or specialty vehicles. No fleet size requirement.I'm too small. I only have 2 buses.
The Starter tier is $250/month with 0% commission during your 12-month subscription. After your subscription, your rate locks permanently — at 7% if you enroll by October 31, 2026 (early window), or 10% if you enroll in the late window. Both beat the standard 15% rate. Small operators often benefit most because visibility is their biggest challenge.I'm too big. I have 100+ vehicles and my own sales team.
The Founding tier locks at 3% commission (early enrollment, through Oct 31, 2026) or 5% (late enrollment) — either is a fraction of the standard 15%. During your 12-month subscription, commission is 0%. Your sales team keeps doing what they do; the marketplace sends additional bookings at minimal cost.What if you go out of business?
LetzCharter, LLC is our legal entity. Your data is yours — you can export everything at any time. The commission rate lock is contractual, so even if ownership changes, the terms survive.What about Stripe processing fees?
Standard Stripe rates (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) are passed through to operators. The platform does not absorb them.
