It is typically $30.00 from Airport Heights to the airport and the same to return upon finishing the trip.  $60.00 round trip, and that includes about $3.00 to $4.00 in tips for the drivers each way, so around $26.00 to $27.00 each way to the taxi company.  There is some danger involved in driving hack, so I don't consider the tip to be excessive.  I've only recently started using taxi's to get back and forth to the airport, and I don't usually use taxis for transportation otherwise. When I do, the vehicle is typically quite worn out.  I certainly don't consider a taxi to be a comfortable ride.  So, is this excessive when it comes to cost?  if so, then maybe some changes are warranted.
