Beaferd Posted January 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We will be arriving in Anchorage late afternoon and have booked a room at the Howard Johnson Plaza. Can anyone help with suggestions for transfers from the airport to our hotel? The hotel does not offer that service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr12345 Posted January 17, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just take a taxi. The fare should be under $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaferd Posted January 17, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted January 17, 2012 There will be 8 of us so that might run into some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted January 17, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2012 http://www.dot.state.ak.us/anc/travelerInfo/taxiSrvcs.shtml Call the taxi companies to find out if they have a vehicle for small groups ..... If you're heading to a ship the next day, check the cost of renting 2 cars at the airport then drive yourselves to the ship. 2 cars might be cheaper than 8 transfers.

Actually since taxis are based more on mileage than the number of passengers, it might be the cheapest option. Two taxis with 4 each is only +-$50. Probably the cheapest option besides public transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaferd Posted January 18, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Will check with the taxi company. Wasn't sure we could all fit into 2 taxis with all the luggage we will have. All of us will each have an extra large suitcase along with all of our carry on things. Thanks for all the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr12345 Posted January 18, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The taxis up here are an assortment of vehicles, including SUVs, station wagons, and mini vans. Chances are you'll find one or two able to take your expedition's supplies to the HoJo base camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
