Our hotel recommended Bill's when their shuttle service was busy and we had a very nice experience. I misplaced my cell phone in the cab (it had fallen between the seats) and when I called to ask about it, they found it, called me back and delivered it directly to where I was at that time. We were unable to use them the next time we needed a cab as they were on other calls, but were very clear about that. I guess we had an atypical experience based on the other posts. We found them very friendly. read more

The cost of the ride was 2 1/2 times as much as the taxi I took the next day from another company for the same route. The driver was not a safe driver. He was taking phone calls and writing down information while he was driving, causing him to swerve a lot on the road. He would get too close to the cars ahead of us. He would also swerve while trying to look at a map on his phone. It was not a safe ride and they ripped me off on the fare. read more

Bill's Friendly Rides aren't always so friendly. We had a wheelchair bound patient that needed transport from clinic to his home. Due to circumstances beyond my control, the pick-up time from the clinic was delay by a couple of hours. In speaking with the patient about the transport, he was not happy. Driver was very rude and was of little help getting him situated in the van. There was an argument between the driver & the owner of the company that our patient could hear while in the vehicle about the delay. May use them in the future, but it's not how you build good service reviews read more

Call and scheduled a ride 2 days in advance. My plans changed last minute and needed a new pick up time. They didn't even hesitate and changed it. They arrived 10 minutes early and loaded all my luggage. Got me to airport early. Driver was nice and talkative. Professional. Once I paid he got out and unloaded all my stuff. Thank you read more

Bill's Friendly Rides - Best Taxi in Spokane - Airport Shuttles Near Me

Shows up on time and enjoyable company. Bill is a knowledgeable and professional! Made sure I made my flight on time!

Called to schedule an early morning transport (2:30 am) from Holiday Inn Express at the rock to the Amtrak station in downtown Spokane. The dude that answered the phone (aka motherfucker) laughed while saying none of his drivers will get out of bed at that time in the morning for a ten block fare. Since Bill's Friendly Rides advertise 24/7. That is bullshit. You should say 24/7 service as long as the ride is long enough so the fare and possible tip is worth their drivers time. I do not control the time Amtrak rolls through Spokane to Portland, Oregon (this only happens once a day). I would think if someone needs a ride to the Amtrak Station, Bill's Friendly Rides would be there. Bill's Friendly Rides came highly recommended and this is a disappointment their customer service is so poor. ok, I feel better now. read more

Booked a ride, for an 8 AM pick-up, and the cab never showed up. A really crap company. I guess 8AM was too early a wake up call for Bill's Friendly Rides. If Yelp offered 0 stars he would still owe at least five. read more

I 've used this service twice now. The second time I was quoted a price (already 25% more expensive than 4 months earlier) and confirmed the pickup. The day before the driver called me to confirm and then doubled the price of the airport shuttle leaving me no choice to accept. read more

Do not use this company! I stayed at a Hotel in Spokane and asked if they shuttle guests to the airport. Was told no but the company they suggest is Bill's Friendly Rides and their fees are cheaper than Uber and Lyft. The hotel told me $35 flat rate. Called the company and was told the exact same price. Got to the airport (all the while he was running the meter) and was told it would be $46. I said I was told by the hotel it was $35 and someone I spoke to, also said $35. His response: oh that has changed and we told the hotel the same thing. Told him, "not my problem" They are running a shady business with this Taxi service. Do not use them. read more

These guys were great. Had rides to and from the airport and enjoyed the experiences. Price was excellent compared to Uber, Lyft. Give them your business Spokane. read more

We had a very informative ride will Bill, the service was spot on, cab was clean. We called him for a return run to the airport when we were done, extremely prompt and great service. I have given his number out to others going out to the area for training, I would recommend read more

When we dropped our car back off at the rental company, they recommended Bill's Friendly Rides to take us back to the airport. We were told it was a flat $35 fee. The ride itself was a bit iffy, as the driver explained to us that he was also the dispatcher for that day. A swerve here, a yellow light there, but we made it to the airport in once piece and on time. If it weren't for the flat fee, we'd probably have gone with another company. The guy who drove us to the car rental company (from a different taxi service) was only about $10 more, but it was worth it with for our peace of mind in the snowy ground of February (2014). read more

***DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!***. I had scheduled a pickup for going to the airport a day and a half IN ADVANCE, for 4:15am for a 5:30 flight out (which leaves no room for error), and they never came. Didn't even have me on their books when i called!! Which left me stranded, to miss my flight. There should be recourse for such an egregious screw-up! UNBELIEVABLE.... read more

Will throw lit cigarettes out the window and will flip you off and throw up their hands if you honk at them for stopping in the middle of the road! read more

Love this company, friendly staff/drivers. Courteous and prompt when necessary. Safe and cautious. Thanks!

Talk about "not so friendly". I had just pulled up to a loading zone in front of the Saranac building to drop off a load of food for a large non profit event. As I started to parallel park, Mr. Bill Friendly pulls straight in behind me into the spot. Wow, there is a great way to represent yourself to the community. Next time I need a ride, I'll make sure not to call Bill's unfriendly taxi service. read more

Literally only giving this one star because I can't go lower. Taxi driver was sitting outside of Borracho on Saturday at close, and we tried to help this lady get home by getting her a taxi. He refused to unlock the door for her and said he didn't want "to deal with the drama." Unfriendly, unprofessional. I work at a bar and I will never recommend them to ANYONE. Uber or a different taxi company, EVERY TIME!!!!! read more

We called your offices this morning and asked if it was possible to have someone give us a tour of Spokane for about an hour, then deliver us to the airport. We feel very fortunate that your dispatcher immediately understood the request and said "I have the perfect person for you, Brian will call you in a minute" Enough said, Brian called, totally understood the request and gave us the tour we had hoped for and delivered us on time for our flight. My sincere "thank you" for having such a service, and person, available with a 15 minute notice. Well done, we'll certainly call again as we expect a new student from our family to join the Gonzaga campus next year. Hopefully we'll find good reasons to come up prior to his starting classes. Best, and hugs to Brian from Kim, Justin and I. Clint read more

Drivers drive recklessly (i.e. No turn signals, cut off other drivers, speed limits etc) One of the most dangerous companies on the road. Many better options. read more

The driver told my mom his meter was broken and a ride from the airport to the south hill is $50 but he'd charge her $45. I called a few days later and asked for an estimate and was quoted $30-35. I told him what happened and he said that was just a quote and backpedaled. He asked me to look up the mileage and while I was doing that we got disconnected or he hung up and is now not answering the phone. read more

I called to schedule a "Friendly" ride to A doctors appointment to get told they wouldn't make any money on the ride and that I could take my business elsewhere. read more

Absolutely first-class service. I needed to make arrangements for my elderly father to get from the Spokane airport to his home near SCC the day after Christmas. He was in a wheelchair, and unfamiliar with using his cell phone...and to make matters worse, his flight from Portland was more than two hours late! Bill's kept in touch with me throughout, connected with him at the airport (even though Alaska hadn't updated its flight info), and got him safely home. All the time at a reasonable price and in an extremely professional and courteous manner. I highly recommend this service and would use it again without reservation. read more

Terrible service, overpriced and rude. Will never use again, wish I could give zero stars.

I called 4 days in advance to reserve a ride. I was told to call back and confirm 24 hours prior to my flight. I did so and was told I would be picked up. They no showed and totally left me hanging on a ride to the airport. This was not even terrible service, it was no service at all. read more

It's 45 minutes in (Saturday, but 9:30) and I have yet to see a cab. Called 4 x since then, got an answering machine. Worst cab co ever.

Took 30 minutes to pick us up initially, been waiting almost an hour for pickup to get back and no one is answering the phone. Won't be using them again. read more

Tyson was my driver during the business Christmas shopping season. He happily picked me & my doggy up and even loaded the bags into his van for me. (Yes the are pet friendly!) Tyson went above & beyond the duties of a cab driver. I will only be calling him from now on! read more

Awesome service! Very host and prompt. Used twice during our visit. Called for service from the Ruby Hotel to the airport. Very friendly driver. Same guy for both ttips. read more

Had the worst day of my life and their positivity helped me make it through the day. Felt terrible about not being able to leave a tip since he had more than earned it. Will be using this service again. Screw Uber. Call these guys! read more

I agree wholeheartedly with Lynn H.'s review. I too was lucky enough to talk with Robert on the phone and then to have the same gentleman (Robert) as my driver. Truly, I will remember Robert and be grateful to him for the rest of my life. I needed a taxi because I was breaking up with an emotionally abusive boyfriend, so I needed to have my ride there promptly in case the ex-boyfriend snapped and ran after me or got violent. Robert was very understanding, professional, and even compassionate in his handling of this rather delicate situation. He said he had done exactly that kind of pick-up before and he knew to arrive early and wait a few houses down the block for the customer's safety. He arrived about 5-10 minutes early and stayed down the block. Close enough to be accessible and far enough to not cause suspicion with the boyfriend if he saw it early. BETTER than prompt, courteous, and professional! If my situation had been worse (which, thankfully, it was not), Robert and Bill's Friendly Rides could have ended up being a true lifesaver! I would definitely recommend this taxi service! read more

I just want to say that this company provided over the top service... I called at 10 at night to ask if anyone would be willing to go buy NyQuil and Mucinex for my college student who was sick and has no car. Travis, was amazing, saved the day... kept in total communication and went out of his way to shop and deliver medicine. Nothing but awesome service! Thank you!! read more

I have ridden with Bill friendly rides a few times now, always use them to go to airport and they've always been on time very friendly and courteous. I even scheduled them to pick me up from the airport and even though my plane was delayed, my taxi was there waiting for me. definitely would recommend bill friendly rides and I would also definitely recommend Butler on the weekends read more

Call (509) 951-5445 - Ask for Tim and they hang up on you. Tim is a scam artist. He doesn't pay his bills. I wouldn't ride with these guys if you paid ME. read more

I wish I could give this place NO stars at all!!! Really wish I would have read the reviews before choosing to call them...I called them because we needed a cab to get to a concert that was going on during hoopfest weekend. Now, knowing that it was hoopfest and knowing this concert was popular, I called them 3 hours in advance to see if they would have anyone available. They said they did, and we set a pick up time of 6:30. 6:30 rolled around and nothing. I called them numerous times and not once did they answer, nor did anyone call me to explain what was going on. Bottom line, do NOT use them if you need to be somewhere at a certain time or good customer service of any kind. They're horrible!! read more

As a college student, I'm always looking for the best deal when I need a cab. I started using Bill's Friendly Rides when I discovered that they had a $20 flat rate for college students getting rides to the airport. I loved that! But after my last ride with them, I don't think I'll be using them again. I had a 6:00 AM flight and my friend had a 6:10 AM flight, so I called the night ahead to schedule a cab to pick us up at 4:20 (this was following finals in December, so I knew that the airport would be busy). My friend and I waited at the specified location for 10 minutes and the cab was still nowhere in sight (this is Spokane in December, mind you; there was snow on the ground and it was well below freezing outside). I called the company to make sure that the cab was still coming, and the guy said yeah, he'd be there in a minute (very similarly to the dialogue experienced by the other reviewer). We waited 5 more minutes and then I got a call from the driver asking if he could pick us up at 4:45 instead of 4:20 -- a full 25 minutes after our scheduled time. It takes 20 minutes to get to the airport from campus and with our flights leaving around 6:00, that was really pushing it. But the only other option we had would be to call another cab company and who knows when they'd be able to pick us up, so we agreed to the later time. The cab FINALLY showed up and he got us to the airport shortly after 5:00, but instead of the advertised $20 flat rate, the driver charged us full fare! But at that point, I was so worried about catching my flight that I just gritted my teeth and paid it. The airport was PACKED and I BARELY caught my flight -- and when I say barely, I mean, thank God they opened up another check-in line because at 5:30 I was still in line to check my bag and I still needed to go through security and make it to my gate. So, to make my long story short: my two big problems with Bill's Friendly Rides are 1) They didn't come at their scheduled time (causing me to nearly miss my flight) and 2) they didn't hold up to their advertised flat-rate for university students. I will not be using Bill's Friendly Rides again. read more

Made reservation for ride to airport and then again for ride from airport home when I returned. Made initial reservation about 2 weeks in advance. No one showed up to pick me up. Called and they couldn't find the reservation, but did come and pick me up when I called. I arrived at the airport with just enough time to get through security and get to my gate. Fortunately it is a small airport or I would have missed my flight. Called them the day before my return flight to make sure they were going to pick me up at the airport. The guy took my flight number and said he was working the next day and he would definitely pick me up. Again, no pickup. Called them and they had no idea about my reservation. Will never use them again. read more

UNRELIABLE! I booked a 4:30 am pickup going to the airport five days in advance, and Bill confirmed the pickup via email. Just to be sure, I checked in again the day before, and Bill re-confirmed. The next morning, he never showed up! Eventually I had to take my own car and pay for airport parking for a week. I called Bill from my car at 4:55 to ask what the heck happened, and his reply was, "Oops, sorry about that!". Will not use again, ever. read more
