Taxis seem over hyped. Why not just call a car service. Don't know if such things exist outside of NYC though. Basically you call them to pick you up and drop you off anywhere you want. They give you a fixed price depending on your destination rather than having a meter running. The only limitation they have is that you cannot wave them down. You have to call them. Overall I feel I get a better service from a car service than from a yellow cab. Also, as far as I'm aware there isn't a limitation on how many car service there can be (I have family members that work in such) which keeps competition high and prices low.
