Be careful with all the taxi companies - including Charlene’s - our experience has been that they overcharge Duke students. My D took Charlene’s from the airport to Duke after winter break. The ride was shared with another student who just happened to be there at the same time.

The taxi driver told them he would give them a special rate - only $30 each for a total of $60. My D who had looked at their pricing on line due to an 25% overcharge by another company for Thanksgiving break was able to say wasn’t it usually $25 and since they were sharing shouldn’t it even be less?

They ended up paying $20 each. So, be certain you have an idea of what the price is before you take a taxi. RDU has a form you can complete regarding your experience with taxi companies. We also filed a complaint with the BBB about the taxi company that overcharged by 25% and received a refund - three months later.
