Why the hotel-to-hotel leg is the one people get wrong
Travelers plan the airport pickup months ahead and then improvise the middle of the trip, usually at the concierge desk on checkout morning. That is the worst moment to be shopping for a ride: you have a checkout time, a check-in time at the other end, and whatever the front desk can find in the next twenty minutes. The Hotel Zone alone stretches more than twenty kilometers with over thirty thousand rooms along one boulevard, so “just grab a taxi outside” means a car sized for three people and two bags, at a price nobody quoted you, for a route that can take an hour in traffic. Booking the leg in advance costs the same as booking it in a panic and removes the whole morning from your list of things to worry about.
