- When it is 6 hours or less of booked time, you will pay for what you use. If you book more than 6 hours, you will pay for the full amount of time booked if you use less. Example: You book 6 hours and it takes you 3, you will pay for the 3 hours. If you were to book 8 hours and use 2 hours, we would have you pay for the 8 hours. After 6 hours it becomes difficult to book reservations as many people request 6 hour slots as they like to do a few jobs at one time. Therefore, when you book more than 6 hours and use less, we likely had to turn someone away to accommodate your reservation. If you need more than your 6 hour reservation, check with the service writer immediately to check for availability.
