- Rogue Valley Medford MFR Airport Taxi & Limo Tips
For convenience sake, there is nothing better than arriving to Rogue Valley Medford Airport after a long flight, getting your bag at baggage claim, and walking outside to the MFR airport taxi stand. However, if you are new to the Medford area, make sure you inquire before hand with the cab driver to get an approximation of the fare. Finally, as about traffic at the time you get your taxi, and ask him if he/she knows the alternative routes. Carry a map to your destination - many taxi operators are not native to the Medford area (surprise!) and may not know all the short-cuts. You might also want to ask what the airport pick-up surcharge is. This way, your taxi ride to your destination will be stress free.
But believe it or not, often times a limo is cheaper than a cab! And unlike taxis, limo rates are fixed. Are you ready to indulge?
