21st birthday
21/f my boyfriend is turning 21 soon and I want to take him out to a bar, we don't live in a city like area and would only be able to be driven to the bar. I was planning on getting a car service to pick us up and bring us home (we are only about 20 minutes from the bar) but I don't know how expensive it will be! Does anyone have any idea or other suggestion? I read that I can call 1800-TAXICAB but that would most likely be more expensive. Thanks for the insight!

A car service would probably be more expensive than the taxi. Living in an urban area I can only tell you how the car services' here work.
Depending on the day of the week and the type of car you request, they can run anywhere from $75 to $150 per hour with a four hour minimum. Taxi's you pay by the mile anywhere from $1.50 to $3.50 a mile. A 20 min trip would be 10 to 15 miles. A the highest rate and at the higher mileage that would be $105.00 plus tip. A lot less expensive than the least expensive price of a car service car for a four hour minimum of $300.00.
There is another possibility which is; once you get to the bar and you are ready to go home. Ask the bartender if they subscribe to the sober ride program. This program provides free cab rides home to those people who have had too much to drink and should not be driving. It is part of the STOP program to stop drinking and driving. If the bar does provide this service to their customers then all you have to do is pay to get to the bar.
There is one other possibility you may not have thought of. You could drive to town and get rooms at a hotel or motel near the bar. Then just walk back to the hotel or motel and sleep of the night and drive home in the morning.
Happy Birthday to your boyfriend, hope he enjoys his evening with you and your gift to him.

You could call your local cab company in your town for information on how much they charge. Most Taxi's charge about 3 dollars per mile.
Figure, If the bar is about 20 minutes then round trip it may be anywhere from $25-$30.00
