I don't think they are willing to go that far. I am not sure on that one. Why do you want to take a taxi down to High River?

That would probably cost you an arm assuming they even drive that far. I've taken a taxi from Shanks South home in Coventry Hills (at the expense of work) and that cost about $55.

You probably could take a car service. It will be pricey because they will take the drive back into consideration as they wont be picking up any fares in High River. Consider renting a car.

All depends where in Calgary, and they will do it for sure because cabbies go as far as Edmonton to Calgary.

Google maps says that's about 70 kms. Taxis costs $3.00 plus $0.20 per 150 m.
Sounds like a hundred bucks to me.

OMG. $100 is more expensive than renting.

Last time I rented a car for 3 days for $120.

its north of Okotoks, according to google maps I would have paid for roughly 50kms of travel.

I paid $100 for a tow from Rivers Edge Golf Course to Hyatt MB downtown. Looking back I guess it was a decent deal!

You'll be minimum $100-150. It costs $55 to get from the airport to my house on the west end, that's probably half the distance at least.

Long distances it's sometimes cheaper to get a limo rather then a cab..

:werd: ...last time I checked there was a company with Lincoln town cars for hire...1hr minimum, and like ~$70/hour or close to that rate! :dunno:
