Re: taxi firms
they have to make a living from this.....do you live in burnley? if you dont then obviously they have to get to accrington as well which makes it more expensive..

Re: taxi firms
Distance from Burnley to Man. Airport, without any pick-ups like Ossie is 42 Miles. On an average that is costed on 50p per mile, this becomes £42 ... cost. Petrol is increasing too, so probably my estimate is low. The taxi firm has got to make a profit, so if I were you I would snatch your friend's hand off whilst he is offering (he will lose out without a doubt)..

Re: taxi firms
I live 12 miles from the airport. Last time I had to use a taxi to get there, 2 or 3 years ago, it cost me £16. I have no doubt the tariff has gone up a fair bit since then.

Re: taxi firms
Direct Destinations advertise that they do Airport Transports from eighty pounds return. 01254 233111 / 396565
I know nothing about them just seen the ad. It at times like these that you find out who your frineds are and which of your family are thinking of going away themselves! |
