<p>elizabeth2005 - I know other students have had good luck with On Time Taxi, but my D was charged more than the $25 advertised price as it took longer than expected to travel from the campus to the airport. She was charged $32 instead. On Time Taxi did refund the difference - but it took about three months and a complaint to the Better Business Bureau to get the $7 refunded. By that time it was the principal of the thing!</p>
<p>Most taxi companies charge $30 to and from the airport. Tip can be anywhere from $4 to $6.</p>
<p>Check to see if your hotel has a shuttle to and from the airport.</p>
<p>This thread has more airport discussion - the 4th post has information about taking public transit from RDU to Duke and the earlier posts have other airport info:</p>

<p>On its transportation page Duke University advertises Charlene’s Safe Ride, but you have to be on this special page to request the $25 rate:</p>

<p>If you share a taxi the fare is less expensive. You could post on this forum and ask if anyone wants to share a taxi.</p>
