After searching for a cab company with excellent reviews, I found Yellow Checker Cab of Berkeley…read more Bob the driver/contact is highly regarded by people who use him regularly for airport and other trips. I needed a very reliable cab to take my son from Oakland to an early, critically important surgery appointment at Kaiser Medical Center in Richmond. I talked to Bob, discussed details and then confirmed them online. He is a pleasure to work with, helpful, friendly, professional, and I felt confident would get my son to his surgery appointment on time, which he did even arriving early. I plan to use Bob's service in the future and am most grateful to have found him.

She was having no luck finding anyone who would pick her up, so I searched for cabs nearby. They instantly answered and offered to provide service, which was greatly appreciated unfortunately, the lady I ordered the cab for got up and ran out of my store with no explanation. I went ahead and did the due diligence to contact "Bob" letting him know of what happened. He decided to call me at my phone number and proceed to say "Are you dumb? Gas is expensive" to which I tried to explain to him the situation, but he hung up on me. I called back to talk to a manager, and he said he was the manager and continued to be disrespectful. I do not recommend anyone use this service. They are extremely disrespectful and do not know how to conduct business.

It's so hard to get a taxi in the Bay Area - and it's so incredibly expensive! I have to say that…read moreI was perfectly delighted to have a taxi show up from this group after calling about 5 places on Yelp that went straight to voicemail. Fatwan had a taxi that said "Diamond" taxi on the outside - but he was fast and courteous, conversational and funny.

I've lived in the Bay Area for many decades, so was aware that our French-speaking driver chose a…read morelonger route than necessary rather than quickly getting us on the bridge at Bryant Street. I pointed this out to him and he angrily denied it. He seemed very impatient, driving jerkily and erratically, nearly colliding with a car pulling a trailer and angrily blaming it on the other driver while I held on with white knuckles. It took a long time for him to get us on the bridge using his bizarre, round-about route. In the end, we paid forty dollars more than we had the week before for the very same ride. Never again.

Our driver greeted us with a smile, and the car was spotless - no dirty seats or mysterious odors, just crisp cleanliness. Yes, fares lean toward the pricier side, but after a long flight, the stress-free experience (no Uber surge pricing drama, no circling for parking) felt worth every penny. For reliable service that makes you feel like a VIP without the pretension, Alameda Cab nails it.

On pickup, the driver was right on time (in fact a few minutes early and waiting). On pick up from the airport, they connected with us before the flight to confirm, monitored our flight, and were there to pick us up at the curb, - again RIGHT ON TIME. Cars are clean. Drivers are friendly. Highly recommend. Note: We used Alameda Cab years ago, for transport to both Oakland and San Francisco airport. We were very happy to still see them in business!

There were Green Taxi cards there, so I called, telling them that in 10 minutes the garage would close and I'd be out on the street in the dark in a dicey neighborhood. 15 to 20 minutes they said. At 25 minutes I called. They had to track the driver and call back. Finally, they called, the driver had gone to a parking lot someplace not far and would come soon. It was 30 minutes of standing alone in the dark and rain in a bad neighborhood. I got the Uber app next day.

More like a 3.5 star review for phone service…read more The Good: I called the the night before a big trip instead of a car service and they answered on second ring with a good greeting, friendly voice, and took my information down quickly and accurately. I was reassured that the car would be there on time, and that i would get a call from the car within 5 minutes. They even offered a wake-up call (not sure if standard with service, but whatever). Good. The Bad: I live near Lake Merritt, and YES I know the quickest route to the Oakland Airport. Oh, and so does the GPS the driver had programmed before we got in. Instead of listening to his GPS he turned it off and took us the long way. No flat rate, but took us the loooonnngg way. 580 to 980 to 880 to Hegenberger to the airport. This equaled to maybe 4-5 miles more in travel, though it felt like more while annoyed, and at least $12 bucks over what we were supposed to pay. I know this because when we took a cab back home, it was $12.57 cents less when the short route (880 to embarcadero to 5th to... etc) was taken back to my place. Ok Green Transportation, i'll hash it out to a fluke. But I hope your drivers don't have a habit of doing this. I didn't tell him where to go because, well, i gave him the benefit of the doubt AND figured he would give a flat rate. Nope. Not so. Too bad, because unless this is addressed i won't be calling again.

I never got a response and I should have taken that as a clue. I called them last night and booked the 6 a.m. pick up that way. I was directed to send my address via text, which I did, and I got a text back confirming the pick up. So then I purchased the Yelp deal online for the $75 airport ride for $67, And then 6 a.m. this morning, I'm sitting by the window, with my suitcase next to me, waiting, watching. Nothing. 6:05. Nothing. 6:10. Nothing. I call the number. No one picks up. I send a text message and I get back the response "Sending a car now." Then I get a phone call from some other guy saying that he's driving from Berkeley and will pick me up in 10 minutes. 6:30 am a car finally shows up. This is an entirely different guy (who actually frightened me a couple of times during the ride with his reckless driving). I made my flight but probably wouldn't have if I had to check in bags. And guess what? I find out only when I get to the airport that 510 Airport Taxi had called ANOTHER taxi service to pick me up. So when I go to pay with the Yelp voucher, the driver refuses to take it because he's not with 510 Airport Taxi. Now I'm just trying to get my Yelp voucher refunded. I had to pay that guy, essentially paying for this awful taxi ride twice and now I'm getting texts from 510 Airport Taxi asking if I want to use the voucher for a ride from airport on my return trip (NO!) and that I have to contact Yelp for the refund. This is not a taxi service with a dispatcher. This is a guy who owns a car and a cell phone. BAD NEWS all around!
