Should I rent a car or take a cab??

let's face it, most of the time I will be way too drunk to drive anyways. And as far as I know I'm staying within walking distance of all the action( I'm staying at 10701 FBR). A car will be around $200 for the week and I think I can go a long way with a taxi for that. What do you think??

Only 9 days 'til I'll party my butt off!!! Coming all the way from Germany just for Spring Break!

have a good one guys!

I say walk if you're within walking distance. You'll have way more fun. Why?

Traffic on Front Beach Rd will probably be sitting still, and a taxi fare isn't worth the wait in traffic.
There will also be tons of Spring Breakers walking it too, so you won't look like a fool on the side of the road. The side of the road is the place to see and be seen, so there will be many hot people walking with you.

If you HAVE to take a vehicle, its fairly easy to get a ride with a passing carload/truckload of sexy people of the opposite sex. Car hopping isn't a rare site during spring break.

Chances are someone will offer you a ride, but if they don't it's not that bad to walk.

yeah, I heard traffic was pretty bad on Front Beach Rd. the only time I really need a ride is to get to my hotel from the airport and back. Any idea on how much that will cost?

I sure as hell don't mind hopping into a car full of beautiful women so I probably would walk most of the time even if I had a car down there....on the other hand...if I had a car the women could just jump into my car...

damn, I can't decide what to do!

hmm.. from the airport to the beach? I'm not sure, but I doubt it would be more than $20 dollars each way.

AND... It's rumored that there are $10 dollar (per person?)Limosines going each way on Front Beach on the beach, if you want to ride in style with the girl(s) you just met... :D

So if you want a ride from the airport, let me know and Ill see what we can do to. That way you can save your money for the booze.:-) & chicks. Let me know if I can help out.

springbreak 411, are you serious??
I can't believe you're offering a stranger from another country a ride from the airport to his hotel! How nice is that?!?!
Well, the flight is scheduled to arrive in PC at 6.35 pm on March 9th, but considering getting out of the plane and baggage claim it can easily be around 7.30 pm when we leave the airport. I guess at that time you'll already be out there and party like a madman.
If there's any way you can make this work out it would be awesome. But even if it doesn't, thanks for the offer! I really appreciate it!
I'm sure my twin brother and I are gonna have a great time. it's all just 8 days away!

cab?

Um. Traveling is no problem there. If you are withing a mile or 2 of the clubs a cab will run ya like $10. Limo's are actually as low as $5 a person and they are ALL over. I can tell you last year was my first trip and it involved car hopping, truck hopping, cab + limo haha!!

Hey Beach Kid...

You will be ehre in just a few days. Bad news dude. I will not be able to pick you up at the airport on the day you get in. I will be at my security post at Sharky's every night starting at 6 pm til when ever. They just offered thsi to me this last weekend. Im sorry dude. I would have done so with out hesitation. Im sure you will get to the beach in fine fashion, and once you get there, you will have the time of your life.

Again Im sorry Beach Kid.

Party On!
