Why is there a 2% surcharge added to all rides?
On May 25th, 1999, Governor Pataki signed into law Chapter 49, establishing the New York Black Car Operators Injury Compensation Fund, Inc. Chapter 49 requires all black car and limousine dispatch bases providing service in New York State, to separately charge, collect and remit to the Fund, a 2% on the gross invoice total for the services provided. The proceeds of this surcharge is administered by the fund to secure the payment of workers compensation for claims made by black car and limousine operators who are injured while providing service. As a result, Stars Limousine is required to charge the afformentioned 2% surcharge.
