Explanation
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is about 50 miles from Port St. Lucie. Round trip, that's 100 miles. Assuming your vehicle gets 20 miles to the gallon, you would need 5 gallons of gas to get to the airport and back. The current national average for gasoline is $2.89 (05/13/10). Multiply that by 5 gallons and you get $14.45 for gas. Next, you add the price of parking for 7 days. How much is parking at PBI? $13.00 per day, so that's $91.00. Add that to your gas price and you get $105.45
Along with the cost savings of using our airport shuttle, you get the convenience of being picked up and dropped of at the curb near your airline's terminal. You are also free to focus on other things as your driver navigates the busy highway. You could talk with family, reply to emails or just relax and look out the window.
If everyone knew what I explained above, I think the parking garages at PBIA would have a lot less cars in them :)
