[Taxi_Driver]

I live approx. 40 miles from Manchester airport. It's cheaper to get a cab to and from, rather than pay for parking. £35 each way, I think.

Remind me not to be a cab driver in Manchester then 
We think fares in Swindon are dirt cheap.....compared with Bristol/Bath/Oxford/Reading etc ....but blimey.....doing 40 miles.....and then probably 40 'dead' miles back for 35 squid 

That's a pre-booked price. We're about 25 miles away and would pay about £25/30 each way,  but ........ a few weeks ago my sister-in-law arrived back from holiday & there was initially a mix up with the pre booked taxi so she got in an ordinary cab. She asked first how much, he wanted around £90 ..... she declined the offer, even though it was the early hours 

I'm on about prebooked prices too 
1 mile = 1 pound + about a fiver....so STMO's trips are about a tenner short....for a car mind you....plus we charge an extra tenner for pickups from an airport...so in STMO's example would go to about 55 squid for a pickup at Manchester airport 

Crikey!  Glad nobody down here seems to do that.

Don't forget the driver has to pay the parking charge....£4.30 for less than 1hr at T4 last night.....plus it includes waiting time for 1/2hr which is £9.....so pretty good deal really.....btw i waited just under an hour for my customer last night....but didnt add any waiting time

I can't believe some of the horror stories that have been circulating in the media about valet parking at Luton Airport this month. A guy had his car rented out by Airparks when he was on holiday and only a couple of weeks earlier another chap returned to find his car written off!
