Where are you staying? Some places like the Paramount and Holiday Inn have airport buses that will collect you for free if you have a reservation. You will need to call them when you arrive though.

Failing that, just look for other Fest goers and share a cab. Most people will be heading for roughly the same area I would have thought.

I don't remember from last year, but I think it's around $10 for a cab to downtown.

You should just walk. It's only a few miles.

The airport is pretty damn far from downtown. No way I'd walk it. The walk from the bus station is doable however.

I've never had to get a cab there so I've got no idea, but this one got really bad ratings:

Gainesville Cab Company (352) 371-1515

I did the walk of shame from the ACSO which is right near the airport in the rain. It's a haul that's not recommended.

my friend from cali said like five of them piled into a cab last year, and in addition to the normal cab fee, he tried to charge EACH person five bucks for having to many people...

I've done that walk too, but from even past the ACSO. And btw -- its not really near the airport, but yes a long haul, especially in heels.

Even on a Sunday morning, I was offered quite a few rides from friendly gentleman. *vomit*
