    One star is way too generous, but Yelp compels it if I insist on posting…read more My daughter and I were picked up by cab 104 driven by driver 0097. This guy was unbelievable. First he brokers a deal with an innocent third party woman whose hotel is nowhere near the motel my daughter and I are staying at. While I'm grateful for the immediate cab, this guy is ensuring the trip is worth his while. The driver agrees to $20 cash - he emphasises the word CASH - I agree on the condition that I get a receipt. He agrees - and then he begins to drive with my left foot still on the ground and my passenger door wide open! I haven't managed to completely get into the cab - most of my body was still outside. My daughter calls his attention to the fact that I'm still outside and he so he stops. No acknowledgement whatsoever. (As I write this, I now see Leanna M's Yelp - I feel you, girlfriend!) Next the driver takes us down the highway, barreling towards Summerland and soon passes the turn-off to Skaha Lake Road and the Flamingo motel. I say 'you need to turn here', loudly. He doesn't stop, or slow down - he doesn't even move into the right hand turning lane, rather continues barreling towards Summerland in the fast lane, as if I've not said anything, so I repeat myself even louder still. I argue that we needed to turn off the highway, I'm pointing and held hostage. He's making eye-contact in his rearview mirror; I'm seated right behind him. I haven't had a chance to put on my seatbelt. The driver finally reacts and turns off highway 97 at the entrance to Penticton; Westminster Ave, and now he has to backtrack south to Main st and all the way west along Main back to Skaha Lake Road. We've basically doubled-back. I'm in the backseat watching the guy's meter. His $20.00 quote would have sufficed to our motel, but now we arrive at my motel and the meter reads $32.00 He's a huge, non-English speaking brown guy with a high level of entitlement, zero accountability and he's not leaving. My daughter paid the $12 over-my-dead-body so we could get our gear and end this sad saga. I called this ecotaxi company and didn't spare anyone's feelings. Righteously, they made him return the $12 he didn't earn honestly. He can keep the bad attitude and greed that he tried to share. Dealing with this cost me some presence and distraction - And, yes, It was my choice to pursue this injustice: I just couldn't let this guy get away with it. As an aside, the innocent third-party woman needed to be deposited to LakeSide Resort - I dare say she was closer to where the driver finally turned off the highway. I wonder what he charged her for the ride?

    We spend 3 days in Penticton. We used Raj who was great a couple times and another guy for early…read moremorning airport trip on Ironman weekend. Our experience was very positive with the service.
