Airport Taxis & Ground Transportation
Car Services & Taxis will both
provide door-to-door transportation. Car services are not supposed to pick up
Passengers unless they have been reserved in advance. If you would like to
reserve a car service or limo in advance, please click here. Taxis are not
reserved in advance but rather can be "hailed" from the street. Taxis
have base fares, and then $ per mile/time…and expect some form of gratuity.
Taxi Rates & Limo Prices: Always
get a confirmation of your rate in advance. Most taxi's and Limo services have
base fares and are not all inclusive. For example, NYC has a 2% tax on car
services, 8.625% NY State and local sales taxes, and tolls are almost never
included in your quoted price. You can often avoid additional toll charges by
asking the driver to take a specific route of your choice. Some taxis will try
to take advantage of you, even though their rates are standardized.
Airport Pickup: Limo Services and
Car Service offer indoor pickups, providing an extremely stress-free pickup at
any airport (your driver will meet you at baggage claim with a sign). Indoor
pickup usually costs extra, plus any applicable waiting time or parking fees.
With Outside pickup, the driver will meet you at curbside pickup.
Disadvantages

- Waiting time. After a long flight, waiting in line for a cab is not ideal
