Question Taxi service

I will be heading to calgary airport on thursday june 27. I would like to know if anyone recommends a taxi or some type of service to drop off. I have my own vehicle but looking to find a different way as ill be gone long time and parking at yyc very expensive. I have money for fuel no worries. I dont smoke either.

Don't know about Calgary, but Edmonton Parknfly has good discounts on long term stays. I think I paid around $80 for a month.

X2, usually cheaper than 2 taxis rides. Unless you live close to the airport

I think he is looking for an AO member to act as his park n ride.

TreeGuy? Diver? Care to offer your services?

Park n Jet is the most economical, I believe. $60/wk, $150/month, online booking prices. Prompt shuttles to and from, text to prep your vehicle upon return.

Park n Fly is closed in Calgary.

I would, but am flying out Wednesday morning myself.

As for 'Diver, last I heard was that he was hosting a bunch of 'at risk' teenage boys displaced from the flood in a quickly erected sweat lodge in his back yard.........

A few handy links for the OP:

Find how much a cab will cost you: http://www.taxime.ca/

http://www.park2go.ca/ These guys are the "deluxe" parking lot, but if it's a 30 day stay, they're the cheapest. Reservations.

Park'n'Jet Rates These are the cheapest for short term. $8.95/day $45/week.
