How much would a taxi ride be from the New Orleans airport to downtown hotel?

Booking a trip and want to know if we should go ahead and buy the $30 round trip ground transportation or would a taxi be cheaper?How much would a taxi ride be from the New Orleans airport to downtown hotel?
Taxi fares between the airport and the city center are regulated: The fare is $28 each way for 1 or 2 people.





The airport shuttle is $15 each way per person.

Do the taxi. The ground transportation might be a van with multiple stops. You will have no issues getting a taxi right outside baggage claim and wont have to wait or find your prearranged shuttle. :)





Airport rates are as follows: 1 or 2 passengers = $28.00 plus $2.00 Fuel Service Charge. Total $30.00. 3, 4 or 5 passengers= $12.00 per passenger plus a $2.00 Fuel Service Charge (Example 3 passengers = $36.00 + $2.00 Total $38.00
Hmmm?


When I flew in last year. I took the shuttle. It only cost me $13.00?


It may have gone a up a bit, but not 50%.


They pile a bunch of us on different buses and just toured around from hotel to hotel till they get to yours. Holiday Inn Express was mine on Loyola.





I had to ask to see if my hotel was on their approved list. That was all.
A taxi will run you about $30 just one way.





Go to www.flymsy.com for more options on ground transportation and pricing. I know they offer a round-trip shuttle service to and from your hotel. There is also an option of taking a bus from the airport to downtown.
It's about the same price and from my experience..the taxis at the airport are cleaner and the drivers are nicer. There is a taxi stand as soon as you go outside of the airport.
Buy the ground transportation (airport shuttle). The taxi will run about $28 plus tip, each way. (I just came home from NOLA yesterday!)
I'm going there next weekend. I don't know what this ground transportation you're talking about. Can you please tell me where you're looking?
