Instead of leaving a car at the airport or trying to mooch a ride off of a friend, I've lately been getting a town car to drive me to and from the airport.
It's way more comfortable than being stuffed in the back of a Prius taxi, and is cheaper (typically $50 each way—taxis are usually around $65).
Most importantly, you get to feel like a mafioso while riding around in the back of a big black sedan.

Harley Earl would be proud.
I said Town Car, not burgundy Oldsmobile 88 that blows blue smoke and smells like mothballs.
