Commercial Tour Fees
A commercial tour is defined as consisting of one or more persons traveling on an itinerary that has been packaged, priced, or sold for leisure or recreational purposes by an organization that realizes financial gain through the provision of the service. The entry fees of commercial tours are based upon the total capacity of vehicles that can carry seven or more passengers regardless of the actual number of passengers. Possession of an annual or lifetime pass or the ages of the passengers does not affect the price charged unless the vehicle's capacity is less than 7 passengers, excluding the driver.

Sedan - 1-6 passengers $25 + $5 per person to a maximum of $40
Van - 7-15 passengers: $40
Minibus - 16-25 passengers: $40
Motor coach - 26 or more passengers: $100
