    That quickly adds up and is a far cry from the identical rates people were saying private drivers charge when two or more people are considered.
    Blake,

    Your information is out of date. It is j$130 per leg now. So it would be j$1020 (if you have the correct change) or about us$11 vs. a us$20 point to point, door to door private ride with no changing of vehicles necessary and no additional risks involved. Since there would be 8 legs as you count them, that works out to be slightly more than about a us$1 more per leg. One dollar.... maybe you could consider it a tip...

    That's hardly a negligible difference over the course of a week.

    $11 VS $20 is almost a 100% increase assuming two people, or almost four times as expensive assuming one person.

    Let's say you take conservatively 2 trips a day(I know the last time I was there I was making 3-4 round trips a day to check out different places) that's an extra $126 over the course of a week.

    This is all assuming that every driver is going to charge $20, I had drivers quote me $15 one way before, the wild fluctuation in pricing means that you're eventually going to be paying more than $20 for round trips.

    Blake,

    How did you get that the price for 1 person is the same as the price for two? I did not read that anywhere in Steve's post. I think you are making a assumption that a simple email to Steve would answer for you. Try emailing him.
