has anyone taken a cab from Albany airport to saratoga?
If so how much did it set you back?

I'm trying to decided on whether to take Amtrak or fly into Albany, its about $50 cheaper to fly but i figured i would just eat that in cab fair anyways. Also does anyone have a general idea of how far the Amktrak is away from the race track/downtown?

thanks for all your help

Call a couple cab companies ahead of time to get a rate. If you get in the cab and ask if it is the quoted amount to Saratoga then they'll probably give you the quoted rate or you can go to another cab. If you just go there with no clue they'll probably overcharge you. I cabbed from Saratoga back to Albany a couple years ago and I think it was about $45 for 2 people so you should be able to find a cab company in Albany that will give you a similar rate.

The train station in Saratoga is about 3 to 4 miles to the track. closer to 4.
