Transport from Sangster

The current going rate for one way airport transfer is $70 - $80 for a private ride.

If you are quoted less there is a good chance they are an illegal taxi.

And ask for JUTA credentials before you say yes. One year we needed a driver at the airport, the guy said he was a JUTA driver but after hauling our luggage over to the car park, he wasn't a red plate driver. It is a big deal BTW. Travel insurance won't cover medical expenses if you are in an accident in a private vehicle. You need to be in a licensed red plate vehicle for full coverage.

JUTA is just one of the unions that represent drivers. JCal, Maxi, even the Westmoreland Taxi Drivers Association are all legal licensed and insured drivers.

So DON'T ask for the driver's JUTA Certification but ask for their JTB Certification. JUTA is just one of many.

It looks like quite a few in the transportation section are up to $100 each way.
