They typically have quick service to and from the Metro North. But the other day, neither my coworker or I had cash, so we asked the reception desk to call us a cab that would take credit cards. They told us it would be a $15 minimum, so we said okay since we knew the ride would be ~$13. We pull into the station and the driver insists that the credit card minimum is $20. We tell him dispatch told us $15, and he just keeps saying it's $20, and we can go to the ATM inside if we want. We didn't want to miss our train, and didn't have time and just let him charge us $20 for a $14 ride. I ended up calling dispatch and he told us that we had a new driver who didn't know the rules. And that he would "have a talk" with him. Not really a resolution, but whatever. If it happens again, I'll call the DOT (photo attached). read more

Stamford Taxi - This might be helpful... - Taxis Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Cheaper than uber and more reliable. I usually call a half an hour ahead and they are usually there on time or early to pick me up. I always use cash because I use Stamford Taxi if I'm around town getting a car repaired or needing a ride from the train. But I believe they take credit card for over $20. read more

Good lord, the service is terrible and expensive. I sometimes need a ride from the Stamford train station and my last trip the car smelled bad, the driver would only take cash and Never again. And they wonder why Uber and Lyft is taking all their business. read more

This is the worst taxi service that I have ever used. Tried a few times from the line up at the Stanford station. Seat belts don't work, rude drivers, and they charged various prices for the same route. They need to be regulated or shut down. read more

"This is my f**king car, I do whatever I want to do". "Get out of my car f***ing bitch". "Don't take my picture f***ing bitch I will fucking hit you". Classy service From this Middle Eastern driver who refused to drive my wife about an $8 fare (apparently not far enough) at 2 AM from Stamford Station. Thank you hard-working stamford taxi drivers who let my wife walk home alone at 2 am! Moral: there are other cab companies (Evergreen, USA) available. read more

Stamford Taxi - "Fucking Bitch" is how this driver repeatedly addresses his fares when the distance isn't far enough from Stamford station, - Taxis Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Shady. Shady. Shady. If you ever need a taxi from Stamford to the Westchester/White Plains airport, you're better off ordering a round trip limo from the airport. It's cheaper, you travel more comfortably, and you don't have to deal with the a-hole drivers and staff at Stamford Taxi. My hotel called the taxi for me and I specifically asked for one that accepted credit cards. The taxi arrived on time but he had major issues with me using a credit card (note: accepts credit cards = "we take your information down on paper and charge you later") and would prefer it if I got cash at the ATM in the airport. Fine. Whatever. I vaguely remember the trip from the airport to be much quicker which makes me believe I was taken on the scenic route. Not good when you are rushing to catch a plane. When I got to the airport, I rushed to get cash from an ATM machine and when I got back, the shady driver told me it was a $65 flat fare. If that is the case why did you run your meter the entire way? I didn't argue since I had no time too. When I called the taxi company later, (I believed my driver picked up the phone), they told me the flat fare was $63. You guys can't get your scam straight? Save yourself the trouble and get an airport limo. My limo from the airport to hotel was just $50 flat without the BS. read more

Nice cab driver, on time, just wish they had a visa machine to use. He waited for me while it took me a while to get to the cab. I appreciate the service. He was polite, on time, and got me to my destination quickly. I asked him many times if they take visa. He said yes. Then when it was time to drop me off? he handed me a slip to fill out all my creditcard information. It kind of made me uncomfortable that I had to write it on a slip and my only proof of receipt was if I took a picture of the slip. So your warned, make sure you have cash ! read more

Just took a taxi from the Stamford Amtrak station to the Hyatt in Greenwich. Meter fare: $12.85 At the end, the driver said the credit card minimum was $30. I objected. He called "his company" and that person said the minimum was $25. What jerks. They can't get their story straight. Every were else in the world (Thailand, Australia, Western and Eastern Europe) they handle credit cards in taxis. Here in the US, you get BS from drivers. read more

If there was a zero star, I would give it. The phone is always answered by the rudest dispatchers , especially this guy with the thick NY accent. I get disappointed with their rude customer service every time I call them. I don't recommend stamford taxi read more

Their website says they "accept all major credit cards." Their driver refused to accept a credit card for the trip. When I called to complain, the dispatch said I "should have said I wanted to use credit card". No, not when your website says you accept them. Not, tell us first... if I could give them ZERO stars, I would. read more

Stamford Taxi - Here is a picture of their website clearly stating their credit card acceptance policy. JERKS! Don't use them! - Taxis Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

I can't speak for everyone else on yelp, (clearly people have had some baaad experiences)! I called this place mainly out of desperation the first time because I didn't have time to research. Honestly the experience was perfectly fine. I've used the service 4 times now and each time has been a positive experience. They almost always tell me 10 minutes and show up on time (usually a couple minutes early). I always make sure I have cash to pay the drivers and usually call 15 minutes before I need the service. They have always taken honest routes and have been polite. Sorry to everyone who hates this place for giving it 4 stars, but I'm just writing from my own experiences. read more

No stars. The driver was downright dangerous. I got out and walked home. I really wish these cabs weren't allowed to queue at the train station, as it left me no choice. I'm making a report to the station. read more

Called for a cab to the train station. Was told 5-10 minutes that turned out to be 25. When I called to see where the cab was I was told "there in a minute" which was another 5 to which the driver drove right past the house. Yes they showed up but their estimated time was far off the mark. It was also double the cost of Uber. read more

They are the most unprofessional, rude folks you could ever come across. They definitely do not even deserve one star. Call them up, they say that they will be there in 5 mins. 10 mins..15 mins...20 mins..and then you call them up again just to be told they are across the corner (and they are not). No apologies whatsoever for being so late either. Taking a hike to the train station would have taken lesser time!! And this wasn't the first time they were ridiculously late! I just did not know back then that I had other options. Moral of the story: Do not depend on them if you need to get somewhere on time. read more

Just saw one of Stamford Taxi's cars on the highway weaving as if the driver was drunk, or texting, or whatever... certainly not driving in a manner that would make me think it safe to be in the cab with this driver! Or driving on the highway next to this cab! The licence plate started with a T and ended with 7071 or 707T. Get this driver OFF the roads!!! read more

Wow! Taxi to train from North Stamford off Long Ridge Rd...I missed the bus which I found out now runs every two hours(?!)...fatal. I had to get to the city so I called Stamford Taxi. Surprised they showed up in 15 mins. But another surprise when we got to the train station $32!!!! The bus cost $1.50. After yelling at the taxi driver (not his fault) I call the taxi office that night. "Yes that was the appropriate fare...there are DOT rules ....something about the meter..." ARRGGHH!! We need to get 60 minutes on this. How do people afford the taxi? are there different rates??! read more

Too bad I can't leave no star. Do yourself a favor and use another source for your taxi needs. They are late half the time and when I call back the dispatcher man tells me "1minute". His attitude is through the roof. He is rude and fast dismissive! Note to the owner/dispatcher - you are not the customer and we are paying you money not vice versa. Learn customer service and politeness. Can not depend on these people to be on time! read more

Continues to be unreliable with pick up. Five minutes usually translates anywhere from two to 25 minutes. Very prominent service in Stamford but, that doesn't make them a reliable one. Call at your own will. It's truly hit or miss. read more

HORRIBLE!! They tell you you can get a cab in 5 min. Usually take 20 if they show up! I missed trains thanks to the awful service. Don't bother. I would give negative stars if I could. read more

Wish I came on yelp before contacting this company. I ordered a car for 8am the day before. At 8:11 when I had heard nothing I contacted dispatch and was told the driver was "1 minute away". At 8:20 I called again and the dispatcher actually checked with the driver (novel concept) and confirmed he was on my (very long) road. He arrived at 8:26 and I am now late for work. Driver was actually courteous but did not apologize for the tardiness. I see below I am not the only disappointed customer. read more

Was picked up by a Stamford "Taxi" at the train station. It's a line, so there really isn't much choice, but I really should have gone to the next car in line anyway. The car was disgusting-- dirty, ripped seats, nasty towel lining the filthy trunk. The car smelled, and the driving quality highly questionable. Also, the route taken was not necessarily the most direct. I had used a cc coming from the train station before, but the driver was livid about having to accept my credit card. However, he had the capacity-- by way of little sheets of paper. Talk about lack of security! It took him eons to write the information out, and I realized he still had the meter running. When I told him to turn it off, he said, "Yes, but..," and got even more rude. When I realized he was going to physically write all of my personal information down on a little slip of paper, and TAKE A PICTURE of my card on his iPhone, I made him use a card with more security, just in the (somewhat reasonable) case that he didn't keep the information secure. That made him actually yell at me, but I could hardly care. I have absolutely no idea who has vetted these drivers (much less their CARS), but there needs to be a baseline of quality and safety. read more

Worst customer service. Just rude. No interest in helping anyone out but themselves.

I called Stamford taxi to pick me up in westover to take me to train station. They never showed up. I called again, they said one minute more. Ten minutes later I recalled and was told that the original taxi broke down, and it would be ten minutes for new one. I canceled and got a ride from neighbors. Never again will I call you, Stamford taxi. If you didn't want my business you should have said so up front! I don't even deserve the one star, you only got that because this won't post unless you click on a star. read more

NEVER USE THIS CAB COMPANY!!!! Terrible service. I called the company in advance to ensure that they accepted credit cards. When I arrived at the destination, the driver informed me that he would not be accepting a credit card. After debating with the cab driver, I called the office and explained the situation. I asked the office worker to explain why he assured me that a credit card would be accepted when the driver refused to accept one. He states, and I quote, "Well, I guess you will have to come up with some cash then." CLICK. Hung up. I repeat, NEVER EVER USE THIS CAB COMPANY. They are unprofessional, inconsiderate, and unreliable. read more

I wish there would be no Stars option. Awful service , terrible timing. Was told 15 minutes. Was picked up after 45!!!! Could you imagine 45 minutes wait for the 15 minutes ride. Not reliable!!! Also driver ripped us off on fares. Don't use them if you don't want your day be ruined! read more

The don't even deserve one star! They complain about driving short distances...one literally told us to walk instead, and got out of his car refusing to drive leaving us stranded! What good is a taxi service if they don't SERVE their customers?! The drivers are rude and verbally abusive. I'm surprised the Stamford government hasn't shut them down yet Also, the fact that all cabs aren't equipped with credit card machines in 2015 is beyond me. They're aren't many options in Stamford, but I'd much rather pay the extra few bucks for a safe, reliable and friendly Uber. read more

I was driving behind one of their taxis and watched the driver throw wrappers out his window. When I beeped he gave me the finger. When I called and spoke to a manager I was told to 'blow it out my ass'. USE EVER READY TAXI 203-967-3633 read more

Let me first say that this car service deserves zero stars but I am forced by Yelp to give them 1 star!!!! This company is a disgrace to the city of Stamford. No one must be regulating them because they're unprofessional and very ill-mannered. For the last 8 yrs of living here they have always been this way. Even the taxis in the Bronx, NY offer better service than they do. I much prefer the city bus or a horse with a saddle would provide better car service than them. They act as if they're doing you a favor when they come to pick you up. It kills me to pay them anything because they are quite undeserving. They're unreliable and seem to have no real concept of time. The dispatcher is very smug and disgruntled. He doesn't know when a cab will arrive to your location. But gives random times leaving you standing in the frigid cold 30 mins at a time and then has an attitude on top of it!!! It's simply disgusting. If possible I would have this company shut down immediately. Idk how many complaints are needed before someone takes action and does something about them. Don't ever use them. Call a different car service, take the bus or even the trolley! read more

Plate number 355IT was honking his horn incessantly outside my apartment at Woodside Green in Stamford at 9:55 tonight. I politely explained to him that he was disturbing the community that I live in and suggesting that he could use a phone or his legs to walk to the person he wanted to communicate with. His response should have been 'sorry' but instead it was 'i don't even know the number of the guy'. He was rude and aggressive to me when I checked his cab for his plate number. I will try to avoid this taxi service in future. Complaints should go to dot.taxi-livery-complaints@ct.gov the number shown in the post below is out of service. read more

The guy dispatcher with thick accent is always rude, hung up on me while I am confirming details, 90% of the time. If he's not hanging up, he puts me on hold as an alternative. read more

Obviously not the only one who thinks this cab service is a joke. I was in the cab finally after a 30 min wait only to hear while I am halfway to my destination (after calling twice) them sending another cab to the address that I had called from. Either the dispatcher is an idiot or he truly doesn't care about the quality of the company and it's service. If you are looking to start a RELIABLE taxi service you will make a killing in Stamford. read more

I just needed a ride 2 miles down the road. They estimated a $10 fare. I didn't have cash and every cab in the cab line refused to take me. The person managing the cab line felt bad and was asking cab after cab to make an exception. One cab driver got into a yelling match with him (so embarrassing)! Finally, someone actually was nice enough to let me borrow the 10 bux. Cabs in Stamford SUCK. Becareful. Stamford acts like a big NYC wanna be town, but their cab drivers dont even accept credit card (unless it's $30 that is). Lame. Awful. Be ready. read more

I just used this company the other night for a ride to the Stamford train station. I called ahead of time to see how much the fare would be approximately and was told "10.00" or so and also I was told 5 minutes until they picked me up. The driver was there in about 3 minutes and the fare was only 6.00...the driver was extremely nice the entire drive there and when I got to the station he even gave me directions on where the ticket machines were to buy my train ticket and which train line I would probably be taking, etc. (this was my first time taking a train in the Stamford area). I don't know if I had a fluke experience or if it was just the fact i had a really great driver, but I was more than happy with them. I will definitely be using them again for rides to or from the Stamford train station. read more

They are the most ignorant bastards I have ever encountered in my life and I'm used to dealing with NYC taxi drivers. These idiots take the cake. They are so bad that I refuse to get in their cabs from the train station and I will wait 15-20 minutes at the station for USA taxi. They are classless and will rip you off with their juiced up meters. They are miserable people who hate themselves and have no business in customer service. DONT USE THIS CAR SERVICE IF YOU DONT WANT TO RUIN YOUR DAY. They are not worth the time and energy you will have to put in to defend yourself against these bullies. Call USA taxi instead. The drivers are polite friendly and don't have a self hatred that reflects in their work ethic and dealings with their customers. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!! read more

Just took a cab from these guys last night after a Memorial Day party. I called and they said they would be at the house in 20 minutes. Knowing that cabs are not usually on time, I didn't go outside to wait for them. Well, they were exactly on time and waited for us to get outside no problem. The cab driver was nice and polite and drove safely. Cab was clean as well. Price was in range of what all the companies charge. Definitely recommend. read more

The worst, most unprofessional set of taxi drivers I've ever encountered. They stay on their cell phone the whole time. One was cursing loud to whomever was on the other end...F bombs and all. Today, I had a driver talking on his phone then proceed to write down information the caller was giving him as he's driving. read more

Here's a copy of the feedback I sent in via their website's contact us section. Think you get the point. http://www.stamfordtaxiandlimo.com/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&Itemid=5 ****************************** Attention Customer Service Department: I have used your taxi service countless times since moving to Stamford August of 2007, and it still shocks me how poor you treat your customers. You need to seriously consider immediately reviewing and overhauling your entire approach to customer service, starting from the interaction with dispatch personnel, to the driver's greeting upon arrival, to the in-car experience en route; nothing about your customer service can be considered anything other than terrible. You are never on time. I mean NEVER. Anywhere from 5-20 minutes late is considered standard operating procedure and always acceptable by your drivers. You persistently think it's the customer's responsibility to placate and appease the company, whether that's manifested via waiting around for drivers to show up, insisting on cash payments instead of accepting credit cards, broken or malfunctioning equipment-radios/air conditioners/windows/etc, drivers refusing to deviate from their preferred routes, impossibly impatient and outright abusive dispatchers; the complete list is exhaustive. And it starts from the top down. If management and/or ownership at your company can not figure out this very basic tenet of 21st century business practices, after years of negative and harsh feedback via customer complaints (remind yourself via a quick yelp review search), you are frankly turning a blind eye to the demise of your own business. You have absolutely refused to listen to your customer's constructive feedback regarding customer service and adjust your operating practice. Maybe this bottom line message will ring clearer; I will no longer be patronizing Stamford Taxi's services, instead opting exclusively for ride sharing services such as Uber or Lyft. FYI, Uber introduced their service to Fairfield and New Haven counties April 24th 2014. Former Customer, Dan read more

taxis take 20mins to show, and thats if they show! the dispatchers hang up on you and scream at you if you dare call back the taxis are dirty and smell bad the drivers are on the phone one time a man refused to let me off the car because he didnt have change so he drove to the gas station made change and wanted me to get off...of course he drove me back to my place but then he wanted to charge me more...really? ...just terrible yelp requires at least one star to post so that is the only reason why they get that from me call usa taxi instead 203.487.0007 read more

I just called to get pricing. The price over the phone did not match with the amount online, I asked why. Receptionist gave me attitude and said that is base price and it doesn't include other things, I said ok. I then asked her how the airport pick up service worked because it would be the first time I'm using them to pick up a relative. She sighed and said what do you mean, what don't you get ma'am. Ma'am it's self explanatory! So I said because it's my relative's first time traveling, would the driver be able to hold a sign? She sighed again and sad ma'am, what don't you get. I then informed her to not lose her patience, if she knew the answers rather than continually putting me on hold, she wouldn't be so frustrated. I kindly said to her this company is not for me. read more

I called and asked how long it would take a cab to get to my address in lower Westover. "10-15 mins" I told the dispatcher I had to catch a train. "No problem" I asked if they knew my street "Sure do" The cab arrived (after 4 calls to them) 40 mins later. I missed my train. read more
