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." Entrance fees are based upon the total capacity of the vehicles that can carry seven or more passengers. Possession of a national park passport or the age of the passengers does not affect the price charged. Entrance fees are valid for the day of purchase and the next six days for a vehicle carrying the same group of passengers. For sedans that hold six or fewer passengers, the fee is $25 plus $8 for each passenger, excluding the driver March through November and $5 for each passenger December through February.
