Taxis

[kraftml25]

We are considering the use of a taxi to go from the parks to our hotel when we visit in March. We will have a 2 year old and a 6 and 8 year old and if we want to leave for a break during the day we don't want to lose a lot of time with the bus services. How much does this usually cost? We are staying at PO French Quarter. How do the taxis work with toddlers and car seats? Will they transport our stroller? Thanks for the help. Transportation is my biggest worry with this vacation.

Figure on about $15+ for the majority of runs. I'm just not sure how they handle car seats though.
Using the buses during the day usually works fine. Yes, it can take a bit longer than using a cab, but it's not a huge deal.

You'll need to request a cab with a car seat, but keep in mind that there is no way to know if the car seat will be clean or safe.

Honestly the time it will take to get a cab with a car seat, install the car seat and get to POR will be about the same as (and possibly a bit longer than) just taking the bus.

Taxi fares tend to run between $15 and $20 (plus tip) for most locations. You can use the Mears Taxi Fare Estimator to see how much you trip might cost:
