A couple years ago after not visiting for a loooong time, I stayed at a hotel. They set me up with their "van'' for a ride. All I wanted to do was get dropped off at Ricks for awhile, then a pick up when
I was done.
They charged me 25 bucks for round trip. All I had was two twenties. I gave the driver the two twenties, and he said to me he did not have any change...... Fool me once, shame on you......
After that, I bring PLENTY of ones,and fives, and definitely take me some route taxis...
So takinitslow, my answer to your question is if you have a certain place to go, negociate whats fair for both of you, and understand you will be paying more than a local would pay........fair enough.
See ya on the beach !!!!
