What are these guys on , just rang round for a return from wakefield to east midland airport!!
one firm quoted £130
What they running 600bhp scoobs i know petrol prices are up there but ffs.
for 3 people so no minibus !
dick turpin springs to mind!
anyone used anyone reasonable ?£90 cheapest so far

 

When I go to Heathrow/Gatwick from Southampton and round trip is usually £100. Not sure how the distance compares though?

£90 doesn't sound bad - say an hour each way, 2 trips. Total 4 hours + waiting time if plane delayed on way back etc. Plus running costs of the vehicle you don't just put petrol in 'em (although it might seem like it if you run a Scoob...)

 

If you think thats bad have you seen th ecost of parking at airports! its cheaper to fly to europe than park your car now!!!

 

Just booked flight from bristol to allicante. £60 return. Taxi from airport to resort. £120 return. Are they having a laugh or wot. So 5 hours flying is half the price of a 2 hour drive.

 

likewise!
£135 return flight to Prague.
£130 return taxi wakefield to east midlands

 

I've just been quoted £48 return from Gamston (4 miles outside of Nott'm city centre) to East Mids.. its only 15 minutes each way... looks like the scoob will be left in airport parking for the weekend

 

Going on your own?

 

i would do it for £30, that must be cheaper than parking!!

 

Parking was £19 plus petrol monies and worries of leaving the car there...

Ended up paying a tenner to TonyG for a lift there and about a tenner for the Skylink bus to Nottingham and the bus home.. turned out really well.. only waited 5 mins for busses in total.. public transport is great (when it works like on this occasion)

 

Pre-booking with a local firm may be cheaper, my one says they'll do LHR->Hertford for 50 quid if it's pre-booked. Last time I asked a cab driver outside LHR how much to Hertford, he said something like 150 quid, so I jumped on a tube.
