The Heathrow Ecs

Taxi transport enters the bargain market

We are used to get bargain prices in all sectors of our life. Walking the streets we can see big posters advertising sales in each shop, we can book last minute holidays for pennies and organize our own globetrotting travel hunting for cheap flies to any beauty spot in the world.

But I am sure, and perhaps everyone agrees with me, that the fly abroad costs nearly the same as taxi to the airport. Of course, we can always use reasonable priced public transport but if we do not want to spend all night at the airport waiting for our early morning flight, we cannot consider this option seriously. The solution came when I was browsing the internet for a taxi and found http://www.fairfare.co.uk website.

Now I can book a taxi and do not need to spend the same money or even more as for my plane ticket! And booking a taxi turned to be such an easy job to do. Just after booking my cheap fly, I go to http://www.fairfare.co.uk and place the request for my taxi to the airport. Obviously, I also request for a return taxi. I am not so tight fisted and I do not put minimum taxi fare of £15 for all the way from my sweet home in London to the Gatwick Airport, I am generous and offer …£25. Some taxi drivers send me price feedback to guide my price. Once it was booked by the taxi driver, who anyway drove my way with empty taxi.

And what a surprise! I also managed to travel by taxi for quite a decent price when I went to the Theatre Festival in Edinburgh. It is nice to pay for a taxi as cheap as local folks do. So now I get everything for bargain – my lovely brand clothes, my flies and now even taxis.
