Doing a fly and drive this Thursday. Would you recommend a taxi or Uber for this going from Richmond VA International Airport to Midlothian VA? 21 miles from airport to dealership. Never used Uber and it has been several years since I was in a taxi.

Ask the dealership if someone can pick you up?

They said no due to COVID 19

My suggestion would be Uber over a taxi.  There is a another option, James River Transportation shuttle service.  Its been many years since I used them, but my experiences in the past were good.  Probably have to call to make a reservation.  The last time I used them, prices were similar to taxi but better service.  Not sure how they compare now though.

I have friends/family that use uber quite a bit in that area. If the dealer will not transport, that'd be my suggestion. From the airport, a shuttle should be a doable option, as well... Popular path!

I use Uber on the reg. Download the app and try it around your house to get used to it. That will save you anxiety when you fly into a strange city. It will only cost you a few bucks for a short trial ride.

Uber should get the job done, i think it was ~$25 from the airport to my house on the north side of richmond, midlothian is slightly farther, but not much.  Richmond airport is pretty painless to get through.  
 

I'm local and working from home today with tomorrow off, send me a PM if you run into any trouble and need local help.  Safe travels.

Also local, Uber or Lyft will be less expensive by probably half.
