Called for a cab this morning, and a gentleman named Charlie came to pick me up. He was super nice and funny too, and in no time, we were there. His driving was excellent, and he made the time pass fast. Will use this service again. read more

I will give one star because the driver was at the airport when we arrived, however, I made the reservation because there was a set one-way fee from LGA to the hotel we were staying at for $84, once picked up, the driver "missed" the Lincoln Tunnel and drove us all over town, instead of a 30 minute ride, it took an hour plus. Once we arrived at the hotel the driver told me the price was $150, I told him I was quoted $84 and he said no way. For reference I also checked Uber & Lyft prices for the same day/time and they were right around the $80 mark, so figured I would give the business to a local company, definitely wrong choice. read more

They are so on-time, on point, friendly, professional and most of all reliable! Great prices. Highly recommend!

Courteous service from my home to Newark Airport at 4:15 AM. Driver was on time and helpful with our luggage.His automobile was very clean and the ride went well. His trunk accommodated two large suitcases and two carry on's with no problem. June 2024 read more

Good service. Drivers are usually a bunch of characters. Solid prices. I always use them!

rude af the man that picked up was a mean a hole don't give him your money, does not care about customer service a shame!!

Called Scotty's at 9pm the night before for we needed a 7am pickup. The dispatcher gave us a quote, and was able to accommodate our request. Driver arrived on time, very courteous, knew the area well, and got us into the city without issue. Would use them again and highly recommend Scotty's Taxi! read more

Called Scotty's at 3:45am and it only took them 9 minutes to pick us up. Our driver Raymond was Polite and courteous. Cab was spotless. Definitely recommend taking them instead of an Uber. read more

I guess I'm the only one with bad luck when it comes to Scotty's, if I could give him a negative 1 star I gladly would. I called this guy today 12-28-13 at 16:00 or 4pm, I told him what I needed we even agreed to a price, then he asked me what time I needed a ride, I said 6:30pm then he says: let me have your number and if I have any problems I'll call you!! I was like wtf? What kind of taxi driver says that? Anyhow, at 5:28 he calls me and says hey it's Scotty my driver is outside waiting!! I was kinda not knowing what to say, he came by over an hour earlier, so of course the Scotty guy wasn't happy about me saying no, then he said, I'm not sure that I'm gonna have any other driver in your area to pick u up, without allowing me to say a word he hung up the phone. Then 6:30 came(as I expected) no one showed up no phone calls were given!! I'm glad I didn't use his lame ass service, and I never will, I would walk in the blizzard but not use this arrogant dude. I'm glad a found a company by the name of BBang BBang limo service he's out of palisades park, nice car(limo) super comfy and clean plus very affordable prices. I paid $10 bucks to go where I had asked Scotty previously when he said it would cost me 12.50. Anyway I had a bad experience with that company and wouldn't recommend him to anyone I know. read more

Scotty's Taxi Service - Awesome cab service with someone polite, punctual, friendly and above all honest. - Taxis Near Me - Cliffside Park, New Jersey

Best taxi service in the area. I prefer to call them instead of Uber. Every driver is nice. Highly recommend

I have been using them for over 10 years. They show up pretty quickly (sometimes you'll get a fool who gets lost) and are by far the cheapest in the area. However, there are quite a few sketch balls that drive for Scottys. You will either be laughing your ass off, or a little worried about if you will make it home or not. Eitherway, they're worth a shot to try...they've been around for about 90 yrs for a reason. They take cards now---$20 min. read more

I had the worst experience with this place. I literally cried. I called this service up because babes was busy I told the dispatcher the gps location of where I was heading. The driver arrived and didn't know where I was going. I told him the gps location he drove me to the wrong location and insisted it was the correct location that I told him even though my GPS notified me otherwise. I am not from the area and was stranded outside by a highway with no walkway, so I called the dispatcher again and explained what happened then he tells me that I'm annoying him because I was worried! They had no regard for me at all. I have heart issues and had to walk in a dangerous road under high heat. I would never use them again and hope that you guys do not either read more

Very prompt and courteous service. Have used them many times for local rides, or for airport drop offs and pickups. Fares are reasonable and the cars are kept clean and up to date. The drivers are very knowledgeable of the area, but also will listen to passengers who might know a shorter route to a destination. Would I recommend using them absolutely, will I use them again definitely! read more

This car service has been around a long time; however, they don't seem to care about the customers. The dispatchers are rude, the cars are dirty and smell of cigarettes, some have broken seat belts and they have a couple of careless drivers that are allowed to work for them. For all these reasons I don't use them anymore and don't recommend them. There are a few other cars services that are better, such as Lime Taxi, Fairview Taxi, Babe's and Rose Taxi just name a few. I rather pay a little more and get better service and be treated with dignity. Like Share read more

This is an ok taxi service, but there are better alternative local services. PROS: Reliable, local, quick to answer the phone and friendly. CONS: - Cars have seen better days, some are falling apart. - Its an expensive taxi service when compared to other local services - EG Cliffside to Port Imperial Ferry $14.50 + tip compared to Lime Taxi and GW taxi that are both $12.50+tip read more

Scottie's is by far the best cab service in the area. I have been using it for as long as can remember. They usually arrive to where you are relatively quick and the prices are cheap and fare. The drivers in general are also very nice, I never had a problem with any of them. They know the whole area very well so you can get to your destination quickly! The best part? they have an easy phone number to remember! I highly suggest this cab company! read more

I had a business trip to New Jersey and New York in December 2019, and called my hotel ahead of time to ask about driving services. They recommended Scotty's. I emailed them a list of 8 separate rides I needed, and they took VERY good care of me. The day I had to go into Manhattan (Times Square), they sent the same driver who had dropped me off to pick me up later in the day, since he knew where in the chaotic area I was. All of the drivers were very professional and punctual. I appreciated their precision--it took a big load off my mind while I was juggling clients that week. read more

The guy who answers the phone is EXTREMELY RUDE!!! I'm assuming this is the owner because all of his taxi drivers are very nice and he is a jerk off. Continuously has attitude on phone, cuts you off before you can finish, and hangs up on people. He needs to learn customer service. Will no longer be using this company. read more

I wish I can give this cab service NEGATIVE 1 star. Second time in a row, they prove to be absolute disgrace! Few months ago, I ordered a cab to have my mother driven to Queens. Operator told me two minutes, my mother waited outside for 30 minutes, no one arrived. Meanwhile, when I was calling them, I was being told "two seconds the driver is around the corner". Last night, my husband ordered a cab for my father in law. They called us and said to come out that the driver is two minutes away. THE CAB NEVER ARRIVED!!!!! I will make sure to call BBB and file a complaint. This cab service should not be in business!!! Unprofessional, disgusting business. read more

I would've gave zero star if they have it. Very very bad service, unrespectful customers. Didn't listen to customers at all, didn't let the customers finish what they're saying and just cut off in the middle. Will never use their services. read more

picked me up within 5 minutes of me calling...driver knew the back roads....from Ft lee to Teaneck road trip cost $24 plus tip. driver courteous. I would use Scotty's again read more

Just got a ride to LA Guardia Airport by Tony. Great driver, courteous and enjoyed some good conversation. Definitely my first choice for airport transportation in the future. read more

Scottie's is probably the best cab service in the area. Their prices and fare is pretty reasonable and the drivers are nice as well.

Ran into Scotty on the New Jersey Turnpike. Cut in front of a horse trailer and proceeded to slow down. Driver seemed distracted and was severing out of his lane. Poor website server connection. read more

On time. Reliable. If you're looking for good, basic service, these are your folks.

The drivers are punctual & polite, but as for the dispatcher,, I called several times on a pleasant day,( not on a Stormy or rainy day) and after 2-3 rings they pick up the phone and rudely hang it up without explanation or excuse, I was hung up on several times, call another taxi service if you want to be treated humanly, 110 percent unprofessional, childlike behavior is what you'll receive from there dispatcher he should be sweeping the parking lot IF that, which in my opinion is to good for that attitude, he should be let go, because he's already made them loose one if not more lifelong customers. read more

Been using Scotty's for about three years on airport runs. Always on time. Drivers know routes well, including alternate routes. Like anywhere else you'll have your slow drivers and your better ones. I always make sure and tell them to send a speedy one this way I'm never late. Drivers know the area well, are friendly, and cars are clean. Cars could be a little newer but are still way better than other local company's in the area. Maybe I'm spoiled, however they do use a lot of Buicks which is a nice change. I like the flat rates on local runs as well. Airport rates have dropped recently as well. PS: to David who posted earlier. I don't know what happened in your case, but any time I reserve a car for an airport run or to go into Manhattan they do take my number and call me when they pull up. If you called for a local run they won't. I don't know any NJ cab that would. Black car services definitely do, but they charge a higher minimum. Believe me I know. They are nearby so you I know they'll get to me in about ten minutes from when I place the call. read more

Called them today (2-3-2014, snow day) to get from Palisades Park (right on the border with Fort Lee) to Fort Lee. I told them the address, they said 15-20 minutes (ok for snow day). After 20 minutes I called them and asked them if the taxi was close; the operator replied that the driver couldn't find the address (while they advertise their great knowledge of the area). I repeated the address and told him it's easy to find on Google Maps, his response was - I don't know and I don't care, call some local company. Didn't call me back to let me know about the problem, nothing. Horrible customer service. read more

Took a cab to JFK. Smooth ride, courteous driver and good price. Will continue to use Scottys.

I would never recommend this taxi company to anyone. I needed a taxi from Dumont to LGA. I called them a day in advance to book and informed them that we were traveling with two young children. The dispatcher said the driver would be on time (5:30 am). Next morning the taxi arrived 30 minutes late, when I asked the driver why he was late, he replied impolitely that he was not even supposed to be here, they called him last minute while he was in Secaucus. The car was dirty, the front seat messy, no way one could sit there. The driver started arguing and refused to take me with my family to the airport!!! When I called the dispatcher telling them we will miss our flight because of their driver, the guy did not even apologize or offer another car to take us to the airport. I still cannot believe they put me through this. Terrible service! read more

Moved into the Cliffside Park/Fairview area about 3 years ago... Tried several cab/taxi services in the area to find the best and that can accommodate all my travel needs at home and to NYC. BABE'S TAXI was a HORRIBLE BUST. The drivers are terrible and most behave like they're on drugs or alcohol. The dispatchers at BABE'S are rude, give you no help and are quick to tell you they have no cars as they are all on bigger, MORE IMPORTANT calls. JOHNNIE'S TAXI, based in Fairview, left my bowels in a knot as the drivers all think they're trying out for the Indianapolis 500. They speed and recklessly navigate the roads without a care for my safety or the pedestrians that they whizz by. JOHNNIE'S PRICES are also ridiculous as they are not monitored by the dispatchers or bosses of the company and I know I have had local trips from my town to the Edgewater shopping areas range anywhere from 7 dollars (the fair price) to 15 dollars (are they kidding?). SCOTTY'S IS THE ONLY TRULY GREAT TAXI SERVICE IN THE AREA!!!!!! Sure, Scotty's cars can, at times, look a little worn... However, that is a small complaint when, in fact, most of the cars are in excellent shape, consistently rotated. PROS FOR SCOTTY'S 1. 99% of the drivers are completely professional, know the roads and all the best routes. They help with luggage when I go to the airports or the city and are always insistent to help with bags when coming back from grocery shopping. The drivers are always willing to give you advice for when to place an appointment, when the best times are to travel, and spots of recommendation when it comes to good restaurants, places to shop and decent bars and clubs when out with friends. Most of drivers know the local prices for the rides and are quick to refer to the dispatcher for a price whenever a trip is complicated or dotted with stops. I do a lot of night traveling and I have come to know several of the drivers. GREG is particularly good, quick without being dangerous and always helpful. GLEN is a sweet guy who is always willing to help and give sound advice. WILL is exceedingly professional, knows the long distance areas, and always courteous and thoughtful when it comes to my questions and needs. My girlfriend also uses this service and says that she ONLY feels safe with the drivers from SCOTTY'S. 2. PRICING: Very fair, very consistent. The prices are flat-rate and there is no use of a meter in the cars. This keeps prices pretty regular and the differences from one driver to another never exceeds a dollar (whereas BABES and JOHNNIES have NO consistency with their rates AT ALL!). The only time I have seen a hike in the fares is when the economy fluctuates and the boss of the company makes sure the drivers are quick to point out the new rates when they occur and the reasons why (most times the reasons are preceded with an apology because SCOTTY'S hates to raise the rates unless absolutely necessary-something I find very sincere and refreshing in a business-basically, they are not looking to rob you). 3. THE BOSS: Think his name is Joe (maybe John?). Have spoken to "Joe" a few times when making an appointment or have a question about a rate and the man is always happy to answer any questions I have. He's polite on the phone and always apologizes if he has to put me on hold. He's a bit of a stickler for detail and I have heard him get stern with a driver if he thinks my car is running later than it should. 9 times out of 10 he labors to keep the calls quick, friendly and informative. Seems like a nice guy and is always thankful for my business. 4. THE DISPATCHERS: Here's the thing that separates SCOTTY'S from all the other cab company's in the area. Always honest about how long a cab will take to reach me, the dispatchers bend over backwards to give you the info I need in a quick and timely manner. While I have had a few incidents on the weekends (mostly mid-afternoon) where the dispatcher seemed too frazzled to get to every point I need clarification on, and I attribute this to them being really busy, they are, generally on point and friendly all the time. SCOTTY'S night-time dispatchers are the BEST! Quick to answer the phone, polite and always willing to tell the truth when they are running a little slower because of their mass volume of rides, they have never let me down when coming to get me in the city late in the mid-nite hours. Dennis is a great guy, knows NYC better than any dispatcher in the area and always answers the phone with a pleasant "good evening". Love that he always takes my phone number to call me when my cab is outside. SCOTTY'S IS JUST GREAT!!!!!!! read more

Called for a pickup at JFK for my 78 year-old mother-in-law, and 3 other travelers. Asked for a van (lots of luggage) and a "meet and greet" pickup. Agreed on a price and thought it was done. When they cleared customs and had their baggage, there was no car or driver waiting. Called Scotty's and was told "he was parking..." 10 minutes later, still no driver. Another call to Scotty's... "He's on his way, where are your travelers?" "They are in baggage claim waiting," I said. 10 minutes later - same discussion, no driver. Finally, after 40 minutes, 4 calls to Scotty's, the driver found them. As they are driving out of the airport, the dispatcher says over the radio, "Did you pick up those F##### people yet?" The driver switched off the radio, and they eventually arrived. The dispatcher has some personal issues and should get a job that doesn't require customer contact. Never will use them again. Recently tried GW Taxi, and the slight extra cost is worth the service. read more
