Finnair "All-Inclusive" Taxi Options from HEL to near DT

I clicked on the options from my Finnair reminder e-mail out of curiosity.. Kind of surprised about the quoted prices (all in euros) to the Tilkan Sairaala area:

Cabforce: 58.20
Executive (a Merc ): 81.89
Minibus (VM Transporter): 84.70
Minibus (MB Sprinter): 104.91

IIRC correctively, it has always been under 50 euros, with tip. I wonder if AY gets a nice commission for advertising these services?

A taxi ride from HEL to Tilkka area should be less than 40€

Quite some prices, though well in line with Finnair's pricing of flights. Seems that HEL airport is an expensive departure point be it by air or by cab.

Knowing HEL, I don't think there is any need to prebook a simple taxi ride. Only time I did it was with a group doing a sightseeing before moving on to the Tallinn ferry.

This could make sense, if you have a larger group. But otherwise.. No.

Teemu,

Why don't you be the first person in Finland to try out UberBlack?

I'm not Teemu, but "because there are no cars available" - what a great service launch!
