greater than 2 hours round trip = you taking a livery service.
Well it's family, so I would go 1.5hrs if I had to, but not if there's known to be traffic. Recommend Uber for sure after telling them it will be a long trip for you. Last I checked, the trip to the airport from here is about 45 minutes if w/o traffic @ $45. Good deal.
In your case though, it's family, what are you gonna do.
Ns1 is probably right. It may be more advantageous for you to call and pay for an uber or SuperShuttle than it would be for you to waste your time and gas driving him to the airport. Plus you might score points with your wife."hey fam i'm callin you an uber. because you're fam, Uber Select and not Uber Pool"
It's about an hour and a half to the nearest airport from my house, more or less. I've gone to and from the airport many times - at least several dozen times, perhaps more - dropping off or fetching other people. As has my brother. And anyone else who has had an occasion to have someone else flying in or out. It's completely incomprehensible to me that we'd refuse. I'm not aware of even a single time when anyone's used public/hired transit to come this far from the airport.
Zero is my limit. I'll point out that we aren't broke students any more and that services like Uber are readily available.
Sheeeeiitt ... my wife is flying out at 8am next Friday to San Diego and the airport is like 35 minutes away and I'm making her take an Uber.Zero is my limit. I'll point out that we aren't broke students any more and that services like Uber are readily available.
Uber is not always available though. They are banned in Vancouver, BC. I went to order a cab in the area and it was 190 bucks for a 1 hour ride to the airport
That is weird that they would charge that much. When we were vacationing in NY City, even though we were flying into/out of JFK, it was a fixed rate cab ride to/from the airport.Uber is not always available though.

It all depends on how much of a sponge they are. My brother-in-law flies in every Christmas from Atlanta, he wants us to always pick him up and drop him back off, and he expects to use one of our vehicles for his personal transportation needs while he is in town (visiting his friends, going out to clubs, etc). He'd always run the tank dry and never fill it up. I would always hold my tong, but it was my wife who was the one that finally got ticked off and told him not to expect chauffeur service, not to expect use of one of our cars, and for him to pick up a rental at the airport.
Why do you need to go? My wife knows there's no way I'd drive her family member 1.5 hrs and I wouldn't ask that of her either.Wife and I was asked by a cousin of hers to drop him off and pick him back up from the airport. The thing is it's 1.5 hrs there and that's with minimal traffic. So we're looking at 6 hrs for the whole ordeal for us. Got no choice now since she agreed but is angry at me cause I'm making a big deal about it.
What transportation alternatives does the cousin have?
So are you driving him to the airport in his car or yours?He's driving to our place and leaving his car there. I think he'll be gone a week and a half or so. The burden is on us cause he doesn't want to pay for airport parking.
Oh screw that.He's driving to our place and leaving his car there. I think he'll be gone a week and a half or so. The burden is on us cause he doesn't want to pay for airport parking.
