There are many ways to get out to Narita. It's a hassle to get to the bus and/or train stations with bags.
I live within 10 km of Haneda. A taxi ride to Haneda (approx ¥4,500) then the "Limousine Bus" (¥3,100) is an option, total cost of less than ¥8,000.
Uber charges a flat rate of ¥27,000 from any of the 23 区 (wards) to Narita airport. For me in Ota-ku, that is more than the ¥21,000 (+ expressway tolls) charged by MK Tokyo.
Booking on the internet got me a ¥1,000 discount. The expressway tolls ended up being ¥2,800. The total cost was ¥22,800.
I have used MK Tokyo quite a few times to and from Narita. The fact that I could book a ride in advance and have them pick me up at a specific time is infinitely better than Uber. I like MK Tokyo because their drivers are great and the cars are luxurious. For this particular ride, I got to ride in a Mercedes S300h. Previously, I had ridden in Lexus, BMW 7-series cars.
My only complaint with MK Tokyo is their mandatory "greeting service" fee of ¥3,000. Their reasoning is that this fee would enable the driver to park the car in a car park then come and greet you in the greeting area. That's fine, except when they were late.
I once came back from LAX and the driver was late. Two of their non-drivers met me at the greeting area. and they said the driver was late due to whatever reason. I ended up greeting the driver curbside. Yet, they charged me the mandatory ¥3,000. I should have been paid the ¥3,000 since I was the greeter.
