I am sure there are conviniences and inconviniences of being a outsider. Sure you get priority over locals. The reason is that a girl will give you the tourist charge which is higher than the standard rate. So naturally is to her advantage to book you over a local.
It is quite hard to by pass this with a Texas accent. I always get the higher rate then most guys. Although my best bet would be to do business with an agency I really enjoy the service of an Iindy.
They are never rushed by a driver and they do not pick up after 45 minutes and hed to the washroom to get ready before he arrives.
