West of the interstate: reserve airport car service from West Valley City to SLC

Where 3500 South crosses 3200 West

The intersection people name for this part of West Valley City is 3500 South and 3200 West. The grid point the office measures from sits just past it, at 3500 South and 3240 West, in ZIP 84119. Both numbers count from one starting corner downtown at Main Street, where the base line and the meridian meet: 3500 numbers to the south and 3240 to the west.

An address near here reads as a coordinate in the same order, house number first and street second. So 3240 W 3500 S means house 3240 West on the 3500 South street, and every city in the county counts this way. Those numbers tell the office where you are. They are not miles, and the band of your fare comes from the road instead.

Out along 3500 South to Bangerter Highway

For a departure the car leaves the corner on 3500 South, turns onto Bangerter Highway and follows it north, with Terminal Drive as the last mile. That comes to 7.1 road miles and about 13 minutes at a quiet hour, with no interstate on the way. Coming home is the same 7.1 miles, measured at about 11 minutes.

Minutes at busy hours were not measured, so choose a pickup time that leaves room for traffic instead of counting on the quiet 13. Put the flight number in the request as well; on the way back the company plans the pickup around it, and the written fare says how an early or late landing is handled. At the terminal the car sets you down on the commercial lane on the ground level, where the airport signs direct it.

Starting fares inside the first road band

From this corner a sedan starts from $90 and an SUV from $120, per car, each way. A sedan carries three riders at most and an SUV six, which also suits a household with a lot of luggage. Both figures sit in the first band, up to 8 road miles, because the road to the terminal measures 7.1 miles and the road back measures 7.1 too.

Once you say yes and the company confirms the ride in writing, its written fare becomes a fixed rate for that ride. Nothing is held for you before that confirmation, and asking costs nothing: the quote is free, with no obligation. The company sets the final price, and its written fare may add:

• waiting past the time the fare names
• garage parking when the driver meets you inside
• extra stops along the road
• a gratuity the fare does not already include
