If we have 4 guys and maybe a suitcase or 2, do they have minivans? Is the rate the same?

Does anybody know what the rate would be to Amistad for a minivan?

They have minivans. Rate use to be $2.00 more than a sedan but that was before they started raising their prices so may be more than a 2 dollar differential now.

I have met friends at the airport, gone to the window to pay, have never paid more than the normal $25 for up to 3 people with 3 hotel stops..

Yes we took a little extra care of the driver, but no extra charge at the window.

This thread reminds me:

Be careful when taking a taxi from the window. Last time I was there I could have sworn she said it was $35 but thought I was not hearing her properly (it was loud). Then she handed me change on $40 that amounted to about $5.

I stood there, looked her in the eye with incredulity and said "It's $25, not $35!" She could tell I was a little pissed. I wasn't making an effort to hide it. She said something about an overcharge and gave me $10 more bucks lol. I couldn't believe it. Man, you have to watch them like a hawk. :roll:

I think that has a little to do with that HUGE "SUCKER" stamp that's on your forehead....
