How Much is a cab ride?

[argh1]

We'll be staying with friends in Arnprior. Just wondering what a taxi fare would to Frank Clair. Or is there transit? Maybe renting a car would be the best option? I know Arnprior is outside the city a bit?

heh, I grew up there till I was 15, I'd say it's too far to taxi, it's about 45 minutes to an hour drive I think.

edit: maybe that's a little long, just remembered it took 15 minutes to drive to arnprior and we were on the north of it, still its for sure more then 30 minutes.

It would be about $80 from arnprior to frank clair.

Rent a car. Arnprior identifies itself with Ottawa but it is not a suburb in the sense that you can take public transportation or save money by taxi. You will spend far more by taxi than if you rent a car.

It would cost $20 to rent a car plus gas.Avis has one day rent fee of $20 all included.THat time of the summer it is going to be hard to get a taxi.

Definitely rent a car. It's just under 60 km away from downtown. However, they've extended the highway out there so the trip goes by pretty quickly (25 mins). Used to make the trip myself on a daily basis.

There's no buses in Ontario?

25 minute drive? That's about 20 miles?

Get a 10-speed.

There is a bus service from Arnprior to Ottawa but it is poor to say the least. One bus leaves Arnprior at around 6:30am and returns at 3:30pm. There is no real bus service (other then greyhound in some locations) in upper Ottawa valley or Eastern Ontario to Ottawa.

it would be way to much, as i live really close to the prior sports bar and they charged me 8 just to get there
