You’ve found the perfect escort. You know the date and time; roughly how long you want her company for. And then the questions start.
When exactly does the clock start? Do you need to pay a deposit? What happens if you’re running late — or she is? What about outcall fees, extensions, or travelling together?
These aren’t awkward questions. They’re sensible ones. And at City Butterflies — London’s elite escort agency, established in 2001 — we believe the booking process should be as polished as the experience itself.
No guesswork, no surprises, no vague policies buried in small print.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When Does the Clock Actually Start?
Simply put: when you meet.
The time begins the moment you and your companion are face to face — whether that’s at her incall address, your hotel suite, or your private residence. Not when she leaves to travel to you. Not when she messages to say she’s on her way.
This matters more than it sounds. It means that if traffic delays her, or if you’re held up by a work call, neither of you loses time from the agreed duration. The clock honours the meeting, not its logistics.
That said, if a delay is significant and your companion has a confirmed booking with another client afterwards, the session may need to be adjusted accordingly. It’s a rare situation — but it’s worth being aware of.
Our Lateness Policy
Life doesn’t always cooperate. We understand that.
If you’re running behind, the time simply won’t start until you arrive. We don’t penalise you for London traffic or a meeting that ran long.
The same applies in reverse. If your companion is delayed through no fault of her own and you’re unable to wait, we cancel without issue — and we cover any taxi fare she may have already incurred. That’s our commitment to fairness on both sides.
What we ask in return is straightforward: communicate early. A quick message goes a long way in keeping everything smooth.
Incall vs Outcall: Understanding the Fee Structure
Most of our services are available as either incall or outcall, and the fee structure differs slightly between the two.
Incall appointments are hosted at your companion’s own address. These are typically simpler arrangements with no additional travel fees.
Outcall bookings — where your companion travels to your hotel or home — carry a small additional charge. Standard outcall bookings include an extra £50 on top of the incall rate, plus the cost of her return taxi fare. This covers the practical logistics of travel and ensures her time in transit is properly accounted for.
For bookings at the premium end of our portfolio — companions whose rate exceeds £750 per hour — the £50 outcall supplement may be waived at her discretion. For locations further afield, we’ll typically ask you to arrange an Uber directly to avoid a wasted journey.
Deposits, Pre-Payments, and What to Expect
The deposit question often comes up, particularly for first-time clients. The honest answer is: it depends on the booking type.
For most standard incall appointments, no deposit is required. You simply confirm the details, receive written confirmation, and pay your companion directly at the start of the meeting.
For outcall bookings in central London, the most common arrangement is practical rather than formal — clients are typically asked to book an Uber for the escort (both ways). For longer bookings, a small deposit of around 10% may be agreed in advance. Any amount paid is credited towards the total fee.
A small number of our companions — particularly those in high demand — may request a modest deposit to secure their time. This is communicated clearly upfront and simply reduces the balance payable on arrival.
For a full breakdown of how deposits and pre-payments work across all booking types, our dedicated guide on how deposits and pre-payments work when booking an elite London escort covers everything in detail.
Payment Methods
For standard bookings, cash paid directly to your companion at the start of the appointment is preferred. It’s clean, immediate, and keeps the meeting itself completely uninterrupted.
Bank transfer is available for advance bookings and travel arrangements. We accept both UK and international transfers, and once payment is received and matched to your booking, we will issue written confirmation.
Card payments are available by prior arrangement for existing regular clients, with a 15% surcharge to cover processing costs. Valid photo ID is required.
There are no hidden booking fees, no agency commissions on additional services agreed privately between you and your companion, and no surprises on arrival.
Cancellations and Refunds
Plans change. We don’t hold that against you.
For standard London bookings, genuine cancellations are generally refunded in full. If real costs — such as a taxi already dispatched — have been incurred, those may be deducted, but we don’t impose cancellation penalties as a matter of policy.
If you’d prefer to rebook rather than cancel, deposits are typically carried over to a new date without issue.
Our approach here is common sense combined with courtesy. We’ve been doing this since 2001, and we know that treating clients fairly is what keeps them coming back.
Extending Your Time
Sometimes the connection is simply too good to end on schedule.
If you’d like to extend, just let your companion know during the appointment. She’ll confirm whether her schedule allows it and what the additional fee will be, as published on her personal profile page. If she has a confirmed booking to follow, an extension may not be possible, but we’ll always be transparent about that from the outset.
Multi-hour and overnight bookings are absolutely available and are discussed and agreed directly with your companion, ensuring complete clarity for both of you before the evening unfolds.
Travelling With Your Companion
Geography is no barrier. We regularly arrange international travel bookings, and the process is designed to be straightforward.
We agree on a total daily fee plus all travel costs — flights, accommodation, and agreed arrangements — prepaid by you in advance. A 30% deposit of the escort fee is required to confirm the booking, with the remaining 70% paid on her arrival. Flights are always booked and confirmed once the deposit and travel costs are received.
The daily fee is exclusive of personal expenses such as meals, drinks, and local travel, which are handled separately during the trip. Everything is agreed and confirmed in writing before any arrangements are made.

What Confirmation Looks Like
Once your booking is confirmed — whether via deposit, pre-payment, or agreed Uber — you’ll receive written confirmation via WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.
That confirmation will include your companion’s name, the date and time, duration, incall or outcall details, the address or hotel, the agreed fee, and any special arrangements. Nothing is left to assumption.
If you’re still navigating the initial booking process, our step-by-step guide to booking a City Butterflies escort walks you through the full sequence from first message to final confirmation. And if you have questions about which details to share during booking, our guide to screening basics explains exactly what’s normal to share and why.
A Final Word on How We Handle Time
Every policy here comes back to the same principle: your time is valuable, and so is hers.
We don’t build in hidden charges. We don’t start the clock early. We don’t penalise you for genuine delays or life getting in the way. What we do is communicate clearly, confirm everything in writing, and ensure that by the time you meet, the only thing left to think about is the experience itself.
That’s been our standard for over 25 years. It doesn’t change.
