Thoughts on sedan from the airport vs a rental car.

8:38pm
For some people including myself until recently cab/sedan from the airport vs a rental car would not even be a decision rental car all the way. I have started to think about this more lately.

With my current customer I can walk from the hotel to the office. And now that I have my own driver in seattle who I actually like, it seems so much eaiser and even plesent to have someone waiting for me when I get there. No rental car crap to deal with no driving to worry about.

I think I understand how people can be shofered around now. its just one more thing to not have to worry about. I am home for a while after this but I think that I will look into this on a more regular basis. Will have to find a driver in phx since that is where will use them the most.
