Rip off!!! Charged $80 for a 17 min ride from Ohare. Was told it would be about $55 before we left.. Don't trust this company at all!!

Between a choice of two taxi companies that pick up and deliver to Fort Jackson on a flat rate, I chose this company primarily b/c their website indicated that they had been voted the best taxi company in 2014. I called the night before to schedule my pick up at 6 a.m. Operator was quick, friendly, patient, and responsive to questions. Easy scheduling. The next morning was just as the operator explained when my driver called promptly at 6 to let me know he was out front of my hotel. Taxi was clean, driver (Anthony) was friendly, trip to the airport was safe and quick. Credit Card service available. Would easily use this service again. read more

Worst taxi service ever. 1 late night coming home from an ER hospital visit I called them for a ride home. Driver was late and the car smelled heavily of illegal drugs. Driver routinely ignored the speed limits. Don't use this company. Scary drivers and dirty cabs. I will walk home 75 miles before I ever call them again. Also the driver was paranoid about the police scanner beeper he had in the being detected while going past a police station. Avoid this company. read more

Blue Ribbon saved my day. I had reservations for a pickup from another local cab company scheduled two days in advance. Long story short, that company cancelled the pick up without notice 20 minutes prior to when we needed them. I immediately called Blue Ribbon and said we needed a cab as soon as possible. They had one staged on Fort Jackson and were at my door in five minutes or less. My friends reported that the ride was smooth and safe and the driver very pleasant. The fare was also quite reasonable. If you need a cab to or from Fort Jackson I'd highly recommend Blue Ribbon. read more

The dispatch lady is borderline illiterate and could care less. This is why UBer is so successful. Their web ads look great. These ads are false and misleading. The is the last call for a taxi, every. From now on I'll use the Uber ap. Good bye taxi services, like dinosaurs, extinct. read more

I can't believe that i called blue ribbon taxi at 7:26pm. It's now 9:55pm and never seen or heard from a driver. I finally called yellow cab to get home. There's only one dispatcher that i can call and know that when she answers the phone i know i will get a cab quickly. I don't know her name but she always answers by calling my name. She's very polite and respectful. read more

I'm preface this by saying that this is my first post on yelp, the service was so horrible I need to express how terrible this company is. This is the worst cab company on the planet...better to walk where ever u need to go than deal with this company full of incompetent individuals. I schedule a pick time and they decide to pick me up an hour later??? Seriously walk to where ever u need to go you'll get there faster! read more

The amount of time you have to wait is lengthy, the dispatch doesn't give you all the information you need such as a cash deposit or a minimum amount. Then if you are lucky enough to get an English speaking driver they are rude, disrespectful and hateful not to mention they don't pay attention to what you say and end up having to repeat yourself at least 3 times. I will never recommend this service to anyone and that includes my worst enemy. read more

No. Been taking cabs for almost 2 weeks, it was fine, except these last 2 days. Called same time as always, but ended up having to call in late. I hate being late. Very upsetting. read more

Never fails Everytime I use blue ribbon taxi they are always late and the phone dispatchers need a lesson in phone etiquette. I always reserve my rides in advance so there would be no hassle. But the taxi was still late through reservation! That's why I love my Uber blue ribbon y'all need to step it up smh read more

What Taxi company doesnt give you an ETA of taxi driver just leaving the caller without any clue for over 45min? From the looks of previous review I am not the only one. Had to find alternate means of travel. Will not recommend this company. read more

We were visiting a friend on Ft. Jackson. While he recovers from surgery, he cannot drive, so we made a reservation with Checker-- two days prior-- to take us to the airport at 0515 Sun morning. We even confirmed the reservation Sat. evening to be sure. When checking the app at 0500, we noticed our reservation suddenly went from "scheduled" to "cancelled." When we called, they said "oh-- we don't have anyone who can drive on post." Even though we had made the reservation two days earlier. Desperate, we immediately called Blue Ribbon. They dispatched a cab immediately-- it was at the house within 10 minutes. The cab was clean, the driver was pleasant and helpful, and we arrived at the airport safely and without incident. I would definitely call them again. In fact, I'd call them first! read more

I called in the morning to ask for a 1:30 pickup. They were over 30 minutes late and now we've stopped for gas. Knowing that I'm going to the airport, the tank better be on empty because I'm in danger of missing my flight because of them. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. They don't care. read more

Waited 1.5 hours for a ride. I called after 45 mins. They didn't even know driver rejected the call, according to dispatch when I asked them. They sent another driver and told me he would be right over. Another 45 mins. the driver shows up as I'm starting to call the other unreliable services in the Columbia area. I told him I've been waiting 1.5 hours for a ride and explained to him what dispatch told me. He was visibly disgusted and let me know that dispatch has a screen in front of them that lets them KNOW they have a rejected or accepted driver for pick ups. Talk about lazy, careless and sloppy dispatch. If you have all day to hang around, I say, go for it. Otherwise, if your ride isn't there after 20 mins, get on the phone and play mommy and nag the grown ups who can't seem to read their screens. read more

Awful. Called them for a ride, they refused to give an estimate time. I waited 45 minutes before calling again. I called to say we had more people in our party and the lady hung up on me. We waiting a full hour before finding other means to get around. read more

Worst experience ever..dispatcher was rude, unprofessional, slow to get order, and disrespectful..Uber way better..dispatcher that answer call about 500am shouldn't be allowed too be in that position because he's not properly trained in Customer service..driver didn't get tip because of his rudeness read more

Blue Ribbon Taxi Cab made me Miss my flight by not correctly scheduling my cab. They showed up 35 minutes late and argued with me about it when I called multiple times to try and resolve the issue. I would not recommend using this taxi service unless you just can't walk. read more

Absolutely terrible! I waited over 30mins for the taxi to come and they still didnt. I called and canceled and had to walk for a whole hour to where I was going and back. I know it does take more then 30mins to get to where Im at to there main area because I drove through there with a 26ft Uhaul truck last week cause I recently moved here to Columbia. Also what the heck is that $15 charge just for coming to where I live? Not just the travel but simply for them to come to where I live. I live near the Columbia Mall thats near like every type of store. Sams Club, Walmart, and Best buy are all next to each other. read more

Cab drivers only take cash fairs that they do not report. My cell phone was stolen out of the back of one of the cabs and the driver claimed to have no knowledge of the phone. When I spoke with the office they told me that no additional fairs were issued by that driver. The driver and office team were very sketchy and uncooperative until I had to get the police involved. Once the police became involved another fair after our drop off was disclosed. Too little too late. Had the office been up front with me and assisted promptly, my phone could have been found. Avoid them at all costs. read more

Do not use this service! Unless you like them showing up 45 min late and taking the long scenic tour otw to the airport. They don't care if they make you miss ur flight as long as they rack up the meter. read more

Let's make this simple get a,rental . They never came to get me. Only when I first arrived the dispatch asked my son our location he gave the address the drive finally came next door to another l location because she stated that they both were in the same vicinity that was true however we had to cross the field to get to the other location the cab driver was sitting in front of another building not where we were at its only 2 that offer flat rates now I see why read more

If you want a painfully slow, unreliable cab call Blue Ribbon Cab Company in Columbia, SC. What should have taken the driver 15 minutes took 45 minutes. I stood outside in the cold and almost missed my flight. The driver's credit card machine was broken, so we had to wait for another cab to meet us at the airport. read more
