On the flip side, a Friday to Sunday rental from Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport will only cost $64, all told. Looking to get active? Uber can take you to the base of Camelback Mountain for a hike ($8 each way) and over to the Phoenician for a round of golf ($5 each way), bringing your total to $96. Maybe you’ll plan one outing to Phoenix ($14 each way) and one to Scottsdale ($7 each way). Uber estimates it can get you to the airport for $14 tops each way. Let’s map out another long weekend, at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa outside of Phoenix.
Filling up that compact will run you $30 or so, bringing your rental to $132. For the self-park option, using our itinerary above, you’ll fork over $35 at the garage, bringing your total, before gas, to $102. But factor in parking: At 21c, the valet costs $27 a day (though you can come and go as much as you please), or there’s a self-park garage that’s $7 each time you pull in. Splurge on an UberXL (an SUV or other kind of larger vehicle) to and from Churchill Downs ($15 each way), and you’re looking at a total Uber tab of $122.Ĭonsidering you can snag a compact car from the Louisville airport for $26 a day, or $69 for the entire weekend, a rental car seems the obvious choice-at first. The results might surprise you.įor a three-night stay at downtown Louisville’s 21c Museum Hotel, within walking distance of the waterfront, the Louisville Slugger Factory, the Muhammad Ali Center, and plenty of restaurants, you’ll ride to and from the airport ($16 each way with Uber), and perhaps further afield to a few restaurants or bars (we’ll estimate three outings at $10 per trip, or $60 total). We used the most affordable option available on Uber’s fare estimator tool and the lowest car rental prices from Expedia. To get the most accurate estimates, we set up three sample trips and priced them using each transportation option.
Wondering whether to rent a car or rely on Uber on your next vacation? It's not easy to compare them, given Uber's unpredictable "surge" pricing and the ping-ponging nature of rental car fees.
