*   Estimated for purposes of calculating amount of filing fee only. This amount
    assumes the purchase of all outstanding shares of common stock (the
    "Shares") of Carey International, Inc. at the tender offer price of $18.25
    per Share. As of July 24, 2000, there were (1) 9,848,729 Shares issued and
    outstanding and (2) unexercised options and warrants to acquire 1,924,877
    Shares with an exercise price of less than $18.25 per Share. Based on the
    foregoing, the transaction value is equal to the product of (1) the sum of
    9,848,729 Shares outstanding and 1,924,877 Shares subject to options and
    warrants to purchase Shares with an exercise price of less than $18.25 per
    Share, and (2) $18.25 per Share. The amount of the filing fee, calculated in
