Dreadful company. Let me share my past three Yellow Cab experiences. 1. Taxi booked online for a night out. After 20mins the taxi had not arrived. We called and were told that it was close. I assume by close they meant in relation to Canada. Another 20mins an no taxi. Finally, 45 mins after the time we booked the taxi for, one turned up. The driver told us that the original driver assigned to our pick up had decided that the journey was too short and not worth his while. 2. Taxi booked for 6 people for dinner. 20mins or so after the taxi was due I called and was told that they had not yet found a 6 seater taxi and were still looking. But I booked in advance?! Could have told me sooner. We took two cars to dinner instead. 3. Taxi booked to take visitors shopping while I was at work. (I had somehow forgotten the past two experiences having boycotted Yellow Cab for months. Short memory it seems). No taxi after 25 mins and when I called Yellow Cab and waited on hold for 5 mins, I was told the taxi was 3 miles out. Fifteen mins later, still no taxi so I called a disgruntled lady at Yellow Cab and cancelled. To top it all off, the staff are not especially polite or pleasant. When you call to check the progress of your late taxi they act as though they are doing you a favour coming to pick you up at all and do not seem to care when or if you get a taxi. Their annoying phone recording proclaims themselves "Houston's Premier Taxi Service". Last time I checked the dictionary "premier" did not mean "most appalling", "inept" or "joke of a". Avoid at all costs. ...read more

My general experience with Yellow cab has been terrible, but I got lucky once and found a guy who runs his business like a real business. He is a kind family man, courteous, helpful, clean cab and most importantly, ALWAYS ON TIME OR EARLY! Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. I cannot say enough good things about this guy, and when he went on vacation, and I called Yellow, they stood me up (4:30 in the morning) and I missed my flight. This year when he was on vacation, I tried to reserve with Yellow, and thought I would call them at 4:00am to make sure they came, but could not reach a live person. I chickened out and prevailed upon a friend instead. Call Terry Hawkins 281-250-7124 and tell him Teresa Cole recommended you. Good luck ...read more
