When it comes to airports, I prefer taxis. I once got a Lyft driver at the airport who did not have enough room for all our luggage. Taxis generally will, and even if they don't, there is no charge for "canceling".


I recently arrived at an airport intending to take a Lyft/Uber out of the vicinity. Tried for 10 to 15 minutes to get a ride on either platform and it would just time out. Eventually opted for a taxi, which were immediately and readily available. Surprisingly it was also 30% cheaper in the end including tip than the quoted price on Uber at the time with surge pricing without tip.

The same thing happened on my most recent arrival back home. I am probably going to simply return to taxis at my home airport for now on.
