Okay I need to be talked down off the "private airport transfers" ledge
.
I love private transfers, as does my husband. I know it's more expensive often but there is something so comforting to see a person there with your name on a card to help with your luggage and get you where you need to go. It's just a really nice way to start off a visit to a new city
. I also hate lining up in those long long long taxi lines.
It only has 2 drawbacks -
The cost and if the driver isn't there and you have to chase them up.
For this upcoming trip we have the following, DME from Orlando airport to WDW and back so that's all sorted.
In NYC we definitely have a private transfer organised. With that traffic, we would never use a cab. We are using a different company this time and many of the reviews mentioned feeling like they almost got a guided tour included in the trip to their hotel so I'm hoping this is a transfer with a bit extra this time.
In Quebec there is a flat taxi rate of $30 CAD from the airport to downtown hotels so it seems crazy to get a private transfer for that one.
Have organised Toronto-Niagara Falls-Buffalo so that's done.
Now the problem is Boston and Washington. On Trip Advisor everyone says, yeah just cab it but I'm like, hmmmm really. I'm not sure how I feel and I wonder whether we should just go with what we like in terms of having someone there or just cab it??
I'm thinking cab it for both it but it really worries me we may hate all the cabs and I'm very concerned about luggage. My DH loves to shop and by the time we hit Boston and Washington are we going to wish we had an SUV picking us up hahaha.
Okay, thoughts everyone?????
