ABOUT SAFETY IN ECUADOR: In Ecuador, having a current SOAT (Insurance for car accidents) is a must for all cars. Injuries or death due to car accidents have compensations up to $US 5000 for each affected passenger. Cars also have to pass an annual check before to obtain the record and permission of circulation. Additionally, I have contracted an assistance pack similar to AAA services. And finally, I also have deals with partners and friends running the same kind of services, in order to make sure that the passenger always get a safety destiny in case of damage of the car

 

 

 Do you want to travel to Otavalo?  You can also choose a city tour to the historical center of Quito, a tour to the Middle of the World  or a travel to Papallacta and much more. I'M JAMES... YOUR DRIVER and I will do my best for you to enjoy them   ...All the people I served before became my FRIENDS (rather than my clients) since the first minute. And they are still my FRIENDS.

TERMS APPLIED TO THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE:

Passengers transportation in Ecuador is a business allowed only for enterprises. However those enterprises called in Spanish cooperativas and compañias only provide a kind of mass transportation. They are not ready to meet the foreign tourist expectations. So far, almost nobody speaks other language than Spanish. As separate chapter, Travel agencies and tour operators usually provide transportation and bilingual guide as part of a scheduled pack of arrivals and departures, lodging, visits, time for meals and so on. If you prefer freedom to decide when to come and go, where to go or not, where to stop or not, extend or shorten a visit, and so on; you can find the choice of being served by people like me. Under certain terms and conditions.

  • You are agree to run a relationship proper for friends, between you and me. So, at the instance of questions from the police, transportation enterprises or Tour operators, you will keep active participation to set up that relationship. Of course, if your interests are affected because of me, you should feel free to ask the participation of the local authorities.

  • You are agree to pay after each services or after a set of rides, to meet what was spoken and decided between you and me before to be served. There will not be any written contract nor down payments.

  • My service is a registered business under the Ecuadorian taxes authority (RUC 1703694263001). However, my Guests decide if they need or not a written record of their payments. If you have your own forms to certify your spends, I will be agree to sign on them. I can also give you a simple receipt with my signature, or an official bill which does not include taxes because of this kind of service

  • In Ecuador, there is a wide discretionarily about when to tip and when not. I will guide you about tipping at the different circumstances. If you don't tip me, I will always be happy if you are happy about my service.

  • Local fare of yellow cabs is $US 10.00 per hour. My fares are the same, which is cheap considering I'll serve you with a more comfortable (SUV) car, my bilingual assistance, and a bit of experience guiding you in several places and attractions. Some specific rides have specific fares shown at this chart.
