Red plate rates from "Best in the West" to downtown?

brian, if you ask for a round trip or multiple stop ride it is considered a chartered ride, the driver decides the price. If you stand on the street you can catch a redplate route taxi, the rate will be $150 ja per person from anywhere on the beach to the round a bout area, or anywhere else on the beach. then you can catch another route taxi for your return same price. from the round a bout to anywhere on the west end, same deal $150 ja per person ea way. if your going from the beach to the west end you can ask the driver if he would like to take you the distance for $300 ja per person. tipping is not expected in a route taxi, but it is a nice thing to do. if you do tip he may offer you his phone # for future outings. good luck have fun!

If you decide to use the route taxi, make sure you don't get a driver off his route. He will be looking for you to pay charter prices. Also, some route taxi drivers won't be pleased that you are wise to the system. I've had some not so pleasant rides. One ride, in particular, during my last visit was pretty hostile. Charter prices are going to change based on time of day, time of year, etc., but it's really up to you to negotiate. There's no set rate.
