Now I have to see it every time I grab a Swedish fish. Glad I work with someone that lives down there after seeing the "discounted" shuttle bus is $40/person roundtrip and this year I am bringing my wife. Last year was $24/roundtrip and I think it was further from the airport. 1 Quote Link to comment

Some cities charge extra fees for airport pickups, but drop-off doesn't have that. Either way, it's gotta be way less than $40/person! 1 Quote Link to comment

We used a lot of Lyft last year, drivers work for both. Reason was they gave $5 off each ride for like up to 10 rides for new users. Some of our trips were paying tip only. Look into that if you're a new user on their app. No idea if they still offer that deal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sancho Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 #### it im renting a car. Looks like the airport is 23 miles from the Hotel......I have 16 days worth of free rentals may as well take advantage of them. God knows I dont want to be stuck in an UBER for 23 miles.........Im not very social and dont feel like chatting with an UBER/LYFT driver for 30-45 minutes. Upside I can explore this 3 Quote Link to comment

It's a bit cheaper than Uber or Lyft. Quote Link to comment
blkhwkz Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm out of free rental car days and parking alone adds up to more than the cost of Uber or Lyft. Using my corporate contract a rental car for Thursday through Sunday is $230 before parking. The few time I have used Uber, the drivers didn't talk to me and I didn't talk to them, just the way I like it Not sure if person I work with can get us back to the airport on Sunday, but she can get us to the hotel Thursday. Since she reports to me, I gave her permission to leave work early to come get us. Quote Link to comment
