"Hi Malcolm
Whilst on the topic of taxi fares, the last time I asked for
a local taxi devis from Caylus to Blagnac it came to €130 (plus another €130
for a pick-up a week later). I imagine that would be over €150 now -
confirmed last year by Uber in Montauban/Toulouse, who quoted €145.
Best wishes
Chris "
Many rural taxi firms are bolstered by their contracts with the medical services; daily runs to hospitals and clinics on a "bon de transport" issued by GPs and specialists. That is their bread and butter, and the private hire is the jam, though they find it hard to fit in, which is why evening trips are most rewarding.
A car sharing system would be cheapest, but attempts to organise them via the internet seem to stumble over times (eg a trip to Blagnac to meet a flight will leave here 2/3 hours later than a trip to catch the same flight when it is leaving).
If readers plan their trips early enough an appeal via Taglines or one of the local FB groups could be fruitful.
Also it is worth considering the trains to Toulouse from Laguepie, Lexos or Vindrac.
