We are became big taxi lovers after moving to Chicago - and we love the ease of not being on a defininte schedule. We took a taxi to Universal from the Poly this past June. It was about $20 one way (depending on traffic). We found it much easier than Mears and that way we could return "at will" rather than scheduling a pick up. We tried mears the day before to Discovery Cove which was $16 one way for the two of us. The pick up was easy and on time- but our day got rained out. When we tried to call for an earlier pick up (our driver said we could call and someone would be sent out within an hour), we were told that it would be a 2-3 hour minimum wait -- so we had Discovery cove called a taxi and we were on our way within ten minutes.
