This is alarmingly inaccurate. Says it'd take $71 to take a taxi from Alexandria, VA to NE Washington, D.C.
If you live in the area, you'd know that's a bold-faced lie. It'd probably cost $25-$30 bucks, the same price being quoted for Lyft and Uber.
- jeremymcanally 12y agoI don't know the addresses you're looking at, but it's about $20 from Mill Rd in Alexandria to DCA (I've taken the route a ton of times), which is a much shorter distance than to NE D.C. I don't know if $71 is entirely accurate, but it's definitely more than you're quoting. EDIT: Just quoted it. It's about $42 in light traffic, about $69 in heavy traffic (from the hotel I stay in Alexandria to an address on Oglethorpe St in NE D.C.). So they're providing the worst possible fare, whereas they should probably provide the median.
- diminoten 12y agoThere is no universe in which $42-$69 is remotely possible, unless there's something along the order of $20 surcharge for airport dropoff. I do this bimonthly, and it's ~$25, with tip. I hate to think of the nefarious reasons for overquoting taxis like this...
