I would like to use my plane for some mid range adventure but getting from the airport to the final destination seems to be a problem sometimes.
I have made trips where I had relatives or friends pick me up. I have used the courtesy car. I have called a taxi. I have rented a car and had it waiting for me at the airport.
So, my question is really to find out if there are any tips ot tricks to inexpensively go the last mile ot two. In these cases I would not have friends or relatives in the area, and can't use the courtesy vehicle (either staying longer or not available).
The taxi's I have used in the rural towns don't seem that safe or take a long time to get there.
The one time I rented a car it cost way more than a full fill up in the RV. This was at a jet center here in Texas.
Say I want to fly the wife and kid to San Antoino to see the river walk. I could take a taxi, but I need a car seat for the 1yo son. I could rent a car, but after my last experience, I would rather drive my own car from Houston to San Antonio. Any tips on how to get less expensive rental cars not connected to a major airport?
Or alternatively, say I want to take the family to a camping spot for the weekend but there are no rental cars or taxi's. But this type of trip might not be safe incase someone gets injured or sick.
I heard that you can call the county sheriff for a ride, but this seems ridiculous to a city boy like me. Is it true? Any experience?
Maybe there is not a solution, but just checking.
