Can someone recommend a reliable taxi service in El Paso, Texas to ELP airport?

I will be in El Paso, TX next week for a day to take the MCAT. I'm not staying overnight to keep the cost down. I'm also not renting a car because my flight will be an hour after the test ended. I don't want the hassle of returning the rental car to delay my flight. The testing location is only 20 minutes from ELP airport.

What are some of the reliable taxi services I could use instead? What will be the anticipated cost? Is there any other transportation options I should also consider?

Thanks!

No personal experience but you might start with the ones listed at the El Paso International Airport site http://www.elpasointernationalairport.com/grnd_trans.html . Costs are also given as are group rates.

Best answer: The last taxi I took in El Paso was, according to this little receipt right here, United Independent Taxi, 590-8294.

Rates seemed normal: my short (10 minute?) ride was $12.90, which felt right to this frequent NYC taxi-er. I wasn't exactly counting blocks, of course.

It was, like, clean enough and fast and safe and completely not memorable, which is good I think.
