Used to identify an individual taxi, a taxi medallion is a series of letters and numbers that is unique to each cab. It is usually located on the hood, license plate, or roof of the taxi, and it may also be listed on your receipt. Getting this information is essential if you want to follow up with the taxi service about a driver's performance or if you leave something in the cab.

How many passengers can ride in a taxi?

The number of passengers that can ride in a sedan taxi is four or five, including the driver. Minivan and van taxis have more capacity. In many states, children are required to be in a car seat in a taxi, so check with the taxi company beforehand if traveling with a child.

Do taxi cabs accept credit cards?

Taxi cabs usually accept credit cards, and in larger cities like Boston, New York, and San Francisco, they are required by law to do so. Taxi drivers have to pay a small processing fee on credit-card fares, and in some cases, they may seek to avoid this fee by telling you they'll only accept a cash payment. In situations like this, take note of the driver's medallion number and file a report to the agency that regulates taxis in your city.

What are some tips for taking a taxi?

To take a taxi, start by either hailing the cab on the street or booking one online or via phone. It's a good idea to do some online research beforehand to get a sense of how much the fare should cost for your trip, as this may help you avoid being taken advantage of by a dishonest cab driver. Also: It's safest to enter and exit the cab on the same side as the sidewalk.

Is it customary to tip a taxi driver?

Yes, it is customary to tip a taxi driver. The tip amount usually ranges from 15-20 percent of the total fare. When deciding how much to tip, give some thought to the quality of service provided by the taxi driver. A good taxi driver is friendly and helpful, and knows the area well enough to get you to your destination without asking for directions.

Did just what they claimed, and showed up quickly. My driver was polite and knew exactly where to go. He never looked at a map.

Worst cab service in town!!! Avoid at all cost!! Told me 20 minutes. An hour later still nothing. Call back and they still have not assigned a driver for me. I asked them why they told me 20 minutes in the first place and they hung up on me. Please use another taxi service. If I could leave a negative rating I would.

Called an hr ago and was told that a driver would be at Walmart in 15 minutes. I stood outside for 30 minutes waiting. Called another company and made it home before they showed up. They called so I told em turn the meter on and wait that I'd be right out. Let em know how it feels for someone to jack their time off too

Horrible, horrible service. Taxi arrived two hours late for a medical appointment. Asked to talk to a supervisor, spoke to a lady Maryjane (or some name similar). She told me booking through their website is problematic, that the taxi will arrive one hour later than scheduled. That accounts for one hour late, she basically blew off the second hour late. Then she rudely told me we can just find someone who can do it better. Well, we will. I my advice is that you should too.

I had an excellent experience with this company. I called at 10:30 at night, and they had someone there within 20 minutes. My cab driver was very friendly and professional. He did an awesome job. I will definitely use this company again.

The dispatcher was very rude and unprofessional. Being that I was from out of town I had to get addresses to certain establishments. Numerous times she would put me on hold, then when she would get back on the phone she would huff and puff like the big bad wolf. I have zero tolerance for rudeness. If you do not like your job quit its that simple. If I could give this establishment a zero I would definitely do it.
