Yes, that pretty well sums it up. I'm sure everyday is different. But, all bets on any fixed prices are off at night.

If you're staying at one of the hundreds of cheap guesthouses, I'm sure they can arrange a taxi for not much than a normal airport car. It can't be that hard to book a car. I never fly in without a prebooked ride.
