So I'm taking the plunge in december and heading to Las Vegas, now with the people coming with us we are going to need to take 2 cars, mayby even 3 and taking into account the petrol to get from where I live to Gatwick, its a 150mile drive and about £30 in fuel per car, plus parking at £51 per car I reckon on £165/£250 for fuel and parking

The train isn't an option because of the departure time & it would cost too much to stay over the night before so has anyone on here got any recommendations for a taxi or transfer company?

If you live in Birmingham then National Express coaches. Run 24 hours to Gatwick Airport every 30 mins to an hour.

If you're parking then any half decent airport parking will have the transfer included.

I can't imagine a taxi/transfer company would be cheaper than driving and parking?

 

300 mile round trip for 10 (I'm guessing) people?

 

Reckon that would be comfortably more than the £150 ish you'd pay for 2 cars to park and fuel

Yeah my op was asking If anyone knew of any transfer or taxi companies would take us from him to Gatwick for less than the cost of us all making our way down in 2/3 cars and paying for fuel and parking but I'm yet to be quoted less than £250 each way.

Doubt anything else is worth the hassle, make life easy for a few extra quid and as a percentage of your holiday cost it's tiny.

 

Check out holidayextras and you'd probably find hotel night before your flight, with parking for whilst your away and transfers for less than you think. I've often found it's cheaper than parking alone... Well almost! It's a holiday, you don't want stress of public transport or loadsa changes for sake of a few quid per person.
