1. If you arrive at the airport, walk outside and take a taxi from the taxi stand to Palo Alto you will have to pay ~80 to 100$. This is because there is a 15 mile limit on travel from the airport. After you pass this 15 mile limit, the fare = what shows on the meter + 50%. ...
I live at the very north edge of Berkeley, so I just barely avoid that 50% surcharge. Thus, I can take a taxi from SFO for a mere $80 with tip.
