Silver Service or a Standard Taxi?
A standard regular taxi is the best value for everyday trips. Silver service is worth the extra $11.00 when the arrival matters: collecting a client from the airport, getting to a wedding or a formal dinner, a race day, or simply wanting a quieter, more comfortable ride home after a long flight.
A silver service car takes up to 4 passengers and 2 large and 2 small bags. For more people or a lot of luggage, an SUV or a Maxi Taxi is the better choice, and you can book either on this page.
