You need to reserve in advance but the ride share is about 21 dollars one way or a private sedan is 35 dollars one way. As their name implies they will meet guests in the airport and will monitor flight status and will not leave without you. A standard cab ride goes for about 27-35 dollars.

This company is also working with us to see if we can get a reduced group rate, but only if we have enough riders arriving and leaving about at the same time. If we have 10 people on the van they indicated that the price would be about $45 per person (one way).
