NPR: Car/Vacation question..

So, we are leaving in a week to Captiva Island for Chris' family reunion (23 people in 1 house!). We are flying direct from Islip to Fort Myer's (the closest airport) and we thought we were going to have to rent a car, which with taxes and fees AND a coupon was going to run us $214! Not counting gas..

Soo...my parents bought a guidebook and we were pursing through it and it it says you can take a cab for $35 each way And DH and I were even saying, if it was $50 each way or even a bit more, we'd STILL be saving money...

So, would you do that? I am thinking I will keep the car ressie just in case (since they don't require a cc on it) and try the cab route, would you?

(DH's mom will be there with her car, as well as 6 other cars...MIL said we could come with them on our night out to dinner, etc.)

Re: NPR: Car/Vacation question..

When we went to captiva island..we took cabs from the airport in Ft.Myers to the ferry. I would definately do that, I dont remember how much but $50 or less sounds about right. I do remember having to make a reservation though for both ways in advance. Im sure if you do that..they will give you the exact price. I think we had to put it on a CC.

ETA: I love it there..one of the best vacations DH and I ever took. We rented a house with a lot of family too, but its beuatiful. Its paradise!
