# Should i book a Limo or Taxi ?

### Myth: Limousines are expensive.

### Fact: Taxis are more expensive

The common myth is that having a limousine is expensive and frivolous. When in reality is a far more inexpensive way to get anywhere. The price of a limousine, when divided by the number of passengers, could be as low as $10 a person. To go the same distance in a taxi could be upwards of $80!

The 10 passenger Lincoln Ultra Stretch Limousine starts at $99 for an hour of service! A huge savings when you have multiple people with you.

With a 14 passenger Ford Expedition stretch SUV starting at $125 for an hour of service, that is even less than $10 per person.

Within Calgary, there is often the complaint of taxis not being available when you need one. A limousine will arrive at the pre-planned time and there isn’t waiting in the cold for a taxi at the end of your great evening.
