I think you'll find a taxi is even more expensive.


If you're travelling alone. If you share the taxi - and the cost- with
other people, the cost per person is quite reasonable for the
door-to-door convenience.


A taxi can also be cheaper than a week's parking at many airports.


You usually have to be living fairly close to the airport (and certainly

around its nominal names town or city) for that to be the case. I live
over 70m from Heathrow. There is no way that a taxi (both ways) can
compete with parking at the airport. At least, not just in cost.


Perhaps we need a optimiser ?

Cheap parking at the airport often needs an extra car to shuttle bus
interchange.

So near-to-airport parking plus taxi is worth pricing as is long-term hotel
parking included in the overnight rate.

And does anyone offer a valet to drive your car from hotel to airport when
you leave and park it afterwards ?
