Anyone up there that can tell me the best way to get from the airport over to Trenton to pick up my V70?

I'm trying to decide when to fly in but it'll be Friday afternoon or evening. Is there a train service or does anyone know the taxi fare? It's Mercerville that I'm headed to.

I am busy all day Friday or I would offer to give you a ride.

Although there is a train service at the airport, if you are strapped for time your best bet would probably be taxi. Its probably going to be expensive though.

Here is some more info:

Taxi services can be picked up at Zone 5 on the Commercial Transportation Roadway.

All Taxi rates are based per trip not per person. Most taxis can accommodate up to 3 passengers. In some cases certain vehicle types can accommodate 4 passengers.

$26.25 Flat Rate from the Airport to the Central Philadelphia Area. This area encompasses: Fairmount Ave (most Northern point), South Street (most Southern point) Delaware River (most eastern point) and University City/ 38th Street(most Western point) Any destination that falls within these boundaries are eligible for the Center City flat rate.

$10.00 minimum fare from the Airport to any destination.

Other fares based on the meter which based upon entry (flag drop) is $2.30 and $2.10 per mile or portion thereof. In addition you will be charged an additional $1.50 Airport fee.

Should you need to pay by credit card please advise the dispatcher upon your arrival to the Taxi area as all companies do not accept credit cards or vouchers as a form of payment.

I have a flight that day out of trenton mercer, i'm heading down to Maryland, and plan to be back by around 7pm i could pick you up... you arriving in PNE or PHL?

PHL. I am trying to decide if I want to just do a red-eye and get there Sat morning instead. I need to pick up the car and I already planned to go to Carlisle. I hate to cut it that close, especially if it rains all weekend. I may fly up tomorrow instead and get it Friday. I can still get in Friday at 1pm but does that give me enough time to get the car picked up? Hmm.

7 and a 1/4 bitch

Alas, I shall never know!

I thought you were a size queen anyway Grant, what the hell can you do with a little one like 7 1/4?

It's a done deal on my V70. I'm flying in at 10AM Friday and I guess I'll catch a car service for $110 to the dealer to pick it up and haul ass to Carlisle.

Thanks for the help. I'll be there Friday in case you're available after all.
