Example #1: A biotech firm in Kendall Square needs to send 40 employees to a two-day training seminar at their New York City office.

Example #2: A Cambridge high school books a 25-passenger minibus to take students to a robotics competition at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. This is a single-day, round-trip booking with no overnight required. Their total price comes to $1,950, and they add a 10% tip for the driver. Final cost: $2,145.

Example #3: A Harvard student organization hires a 20-seat minibus for a weekend retreat in the Berkshires. The bus will remain with the group for two days and return them to campus afterward. Their quote is $2,800, and they budget an additional 15% for gratuity. Final cost: $3,220.
