My parents are both 51 years old, very healthy, don't even wear glasses, have an own and decent car and earn good money.
Of course I'm paying my own ticket and haven't asked them for money in many years.
I'm also a very considerate person always remember birthdays, buy gifts, call at least once a week, text with them on Facebook and haven't asked them for anything in years.
Both of them are familiar with the roads and the airport as they've gone there many times.
They live in Europe, the streets are good and the weather is good as well around this time. It's very safe as well.
I payed a lot for the flights to get there and visit them- Of course I can order a car service or stay in a hotel, but that means extra cost and I'm not rich. A car service to their house will cost me 150 US dollar (just checked it). I also asked my mom if it was different if I arrived at an earlier time and now she seemed to change her mind and says even then they woudn`t pick me up because it`s too expensive (Gas for that way will be around 40 Dollar, I even said I'll pay half of it. And as I said, my parents have good money, both work in well-paid full-time jobs, have an own house etc). Oh and I have no friend there who could pick me up.
Well then. The only possible explanation is that they don't like you. Maybe you should visit someone else's parents instead.

Solved! Use the car service and pay the $150. And skip next year's trip because you cannot afford taking the trip so often. Sounds like you are expecting your parents to be your taxi service and it's become a burden on them.
Going forward, don't ask them to pick you up/drop you off any longer. Arrange for the car service yourself and pay for it yourself or don't make the trip. Consider the car service as a standard cost of the trip for all future trips - along with the cost of airfare.
Why do you insist on visiting them if they clearly don't want to see you?
