    The yellow cab taxi is a classic New York City experience, although not as popular with the surge of Uber and Lyft rides. The main benefit is their flat fare for airport destinations, more competitive rates compared to others during rush hours. Their cars are poorly maintained, air conditioning unit not functional and dirty inside the car, drivers tend to be driving more aggressively.

    I have taken the Yellow Cab a LOT of times and your experience is a matter of luck. I have been in disgusting cabs where I was reluctant to touch anything and it smelled revolting and I have been in great cabs with awesome drivers. The most recent one from JFK to midtown was thankfully the latter. Great driver, great conversation and a smooth ride.

    DO NOT get in cab 8M40

    Minus 5! The cab ride from LaGuardia to our hotel in Manhattan was beyond painful and disgusting. I wish I'd backed out of the cab before we left. This cab smelled SO bad I had to hold a napkin over my mouth and nose for the entire ride. And NO, it was not because someone else had just been smoking in it or even ten people for the entire week. This was YEARS of smoke and something else I can't even think about it. It was not a good start to our vacation, my eyes were burning and I could barely breath. We had to get to our room and take showers and brush our teeth, and still, we could smell it! Always take a whiff before you commit to a yellow cab ride. We used a private airlink car to go back to the airport for the same amount of money. It was clean, did not smell and the driver was very nice.

    Yes I must admit there was a time when I hated to take a Yellow Cab. They drove fast and reckless. I always rode with my daughter. Those days appear to be in the past. Covid-19 forced me to Google "Taxi Etiquette ". I took a crash course and hailed my first cab like a big girl, all by myself! It was a great experience and well worth the price. On a hot July day he told me how to use the A.C. I felt bad that I forgot to turn it off when I got out of the cab at the doctors office. I hate wasting gasoline! I'm sure now I will take advantage of Yellow Cab. I am worth the luxury. Its less expensive than Uber. I can pay cash. The cab was clean and new. I've had this magnet on my fridge for years. I'll post Cab photos later. Let's support this valuable NYC institution!

    I have the worst service ever while coming back from a 6 hours flight. We arrived in NYC on Christmas Day this means there was no one almost no one in the streets.zero traffic, this driver was going 25 miles per minutes on the highway where the speed limit was 55. You should know why, well let me explain they made money while the meter is running. The faster they go the slowest money they made. I understand this is how they made their living but come on I just wanted to get home and sleep and also not being robe. I am 15 minutes from the airport and this trip took us more than 30 minutes.. seriously I thought I was going to have a heart attack of anger..

    Pay attention, yellow taxista charge more than expected and ask for a mandatory tip which is not due. Much better is Uber

    We used Precision NY Chauffeur Service for our family vacation to NYC, and they were absolutely…read moreoutstanding from start to finish. They handled our pickup from LGA to our Midtown hotel and later our return trip back to the airport, and both rides were flawless. This was truly 5-star service and one part of the trip I didn't have to worry about at all. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, communication was clear, and everything ran exactly on time. It was worth every penny compared to mass transit or other ride services. What really set them apart was their customer service. When we were dropped off at the airport, my son accidentally left his phone in the car. Umar went out of his way to drive all the way back around and personally return the phone to us--no hesitation, no attitude, just genuine care and professionalism. I can't recommend Precision NY Chauffeur Service enough. If you want reliable, stress-free transportation in NYC, this is the company to use.

    I just wanted to respond to the comments made by the owner Muhammad W. First of all, I do…read moreappreciate his polite response. I just want to make sure that I'm clear about the failed "Lowest Price Guarantee". After making two separate efforts to clarify why Precision's price quote was so high and why the Lowest Price Guarantee wasn't being honored, I went with another company. And, I'm really happy that I did. The company that earned my business, was not only comparable, but, in my opinion even superior. Muhammad's response appears to indicate that the companies that gave me price quotes were somehow inferior. Precision has been in business 18 years, and the company I went with has been in business longer. Precision's price quote was much higher than the competition and was for a Cadillac or Volvo sedan, not the beautiful new black SUV that picked up my girlfriend. Lastly, the professional chauffer that was our driver, was impeccably dressed in a black suit and tie. Our driver had over 30 years experience as a licensed, professional chauffer. This gentleman even showed up 25 minutes early! What an incredible experience! Muhammad, I truly appreciate your response and your generous offer. The purpose of this updated review was to clarify that the company that we went with, was not inferior in any way. For some reason, you referenced Uber or a taxi service in your response. I hired a superior, licensed, insured and incredibly professional competitor. Price was certainly not the only deciding factor. I'm hopeful, that this could be a learning opportunity for you and you organization in regards to your " Lowest Price Guarantee". Thank you again.

    I was in Brooklyn NY on Friday, October 20th and Dekalb Car Service was highly recommended to me…read more I called and reserved their service to take me from Medgar Evers College to Penn Station. I was told that the fare was $40 to which i agreed to pay. The driver arrived on time and took me to Penn Station where I quickly produced my credit card to pay him. The driver flew into rage mode and demanded cash as this company does not deal in credit cards. No one advised me that it was cash only and while I tried to explain this the driver was Hispanic and seemingly spoke very very limited english. all that I could discern was that i rode knowingly that it was cash, and I did not have the money. there were no signs in his car announcing that this was cash only. he attempted to seize my laptop to get his money...the ride was $40 and I had $30 but his rage grew, and he parked his car and kept saying ATM. He talked to the local field NYPD who also spoke Spanish and left his car unattended to insist that i walk until i found an atm. the first one i found was broken; i kept walking with him on my heels speaking in Spanish and i growing more fearful because he was behind me. I finally found an atm, got $20 and asked for my $10 back in exchange for the $20 but he refused and got a 22% tip for horrific and terrifying service. I have no receipt for my $50 and cannot file a claim to be reimbursed. Grateful to have my life so the loss of $50 is really a small price to pay. I would never ever use this service again. Furthermore, I strongly have recommended that the elected official who recommended this company never use them again for any reason not even a dire emergency. I recognize that a few companies may deal in cash only but how unsafe is it to transport people and have cash on them jeopardizing lives and creating the likelihood that these employees will be robbed! Perhaps this company should reevaluate their procedures as trips can be in excess of $100 and who travels with that much cash on hand? My yellow cab trip to the college was $91 and the driver gladly accepted my credit card.

    I have a picture of the license plate, but I decided against it…read more Today around 5pm my grandmother, brother and myself took a cab home from church--a trip that's been done hundreds of times-- and our driver had over charged us, not caring about what little money we had on us. On top of that, he did not show up at the address we provided, which resulted in us going down the street in order to meet our ride. He tried defending himself saying that it's "not his fault", despite pointing at his monitor and telling us out loud that he read it improperly. Apparently dispatch gave him the wrong address.. and yet it was correct at the monitor he pointed at. Interesting. I spoke out, and so did my grandmother, and he laughed as we tried to explain that we were being cheated. Even said to me, "You talk a lot, huh?" Which I found ironic, since I don't usually speak during car rides. Most likely because they all go well. He was so busy talking that he also went down the wrong street, making the ride a lot longer than it needed to be. As we spoke he turned the volume up on his Christian radio station several different times, I think trying to offend me (since I dress in a rather alternative/goth manner) and get us to stop talking. Since my brother decided to stay silent, the driver chose to say that he would pray for my brother and bless him for being so respectful and quiet. Again. We are leaving from church. Because we are ALSO Christian. I don't need to be preached to by a scammer. But I don't think he realized, considering he surely didn't stop in front of the church as stated. Once we got out, he sped off. I almost didn't get the picture of his license plate. I do have it if need be, but for privacy's sake it won't be posted. But my tip for you is watch out for people who drive white cabs. This is a car service that my family has used for years, and to have a driver like this treat you in such a manner is really incredibly disheartening. Can't give anymore stars in good faith. TDLR; driver showed up at the wrong address, overcharged us, went the wrong way, tried to use my own religion against my family, overall it was a really aggravating and frustrating ride home for all three passengers.

They take credit card on a phone (great as I use corporate AMEX for my business travel) and accept CC tips. Booking in advance - car always shows up on time and I get a phone-call when car is outside). Drivers are good as well - aggressive driving style common to all NYC drivers, but can slow it down when needed (took a car to hospital w a kid and they drove very safely). Drivers can converse or stay quiet - playing off customer preference. Cars are clean and in good mechanical shape. Really no complaints. And with reliability and timeliness being top concern - they deliver on expectations.
