I don't live in an area where taxi or uber is a big thing so I don't really know much about them. We will be traveling to Anaheim in July and I'm trying to figure out what is going to be more cost effective. Should we take a taxi, or Uber/Lyft from the airport to our hotel? There will be 4 of us plus our luggage. Thank you

Try our Fare Comparison Calculator
First, look up the different rideshare services to see which would best accomodate you and your luggage. This article outlines the different Uber and Lyft car types and how many passengers/pieces of luggage you can fit in each car. Once you have determined what type of car (standard, XL, etc) would be best for your group head to our Fare Comparison Calculator and enter in your starting and ending locations to compare all the different available services. As Chawes mentioned, Van Taxis are usually charged at normal taxi rates (sometimes with a slight surcharge), keep this in mind when seeing whether a traditional taxi or a larger Uber (ie: Uber XL) would be more cost effective.

Uber or Lyft will be the cheapest rates, but you would probably need 2 cars to get four of you plus your luggage. In that case, you might find that a van taxi that could hold all of you would be cheaper than two ubers, since they are charged at normal taxi rates. Usually you can request one at the airport.
