Answer 2

keep in mind that San Antonio is not like New York City; the city isn't just swarming with cabs. You will find cabs at the airport to take you to the hotel (does the hotel offer an airport shuttle?), but for the others, you'll want to call the company ahead of time and reserve a cab to show up at the desired time.

Tax/tip for the airport to/from will probably be around $20 each way. Figure $10-15 each way for the rodeo.

So figure $60-70 cab fare all total.

Answer 3

Here is an excerpt from the San Antonio Yellow Cab web site:

All taxis charge $2.00 for the first one sixth of a mile and $2.15 for each mile thereafter (Plus gas surcharge, if applicable). Wait time and traffic delay is $24/hour. There is a $1 surcharge for all trips that originate between 9 PM and 5 am. The minimum downtown fare is $5. The minimum airport departure fare is $11.50. Many outlying communities have minimum fares.

They have a fare estimator on the web site if you know the addresses:
