Pedro has driven my family for years and we highly recommend him. We've used him mostly for airport runs but also to get to and from doctor visits and other appointments. He is always early, very professional, and simply a nice person. read more

I had no idea what to think as I read all the reviews. I work corporate near Marina del Rey, and I needed a taxi cab for one of our executive's. The trip was to LAX. I talked to Pedro about the reviews and he said to experience for my self his service. I asked him to please make sure they were on time, and clean. The driver was here 10mn early and my boss didn't even have to wait. He went from his car straight to the cab. I would also like to think that those bad reviews are fake and that there is mean people out there. He will be our office taxi cab! The driver looked so professionally dressed and helped loading the luggage. Call him and leave him a message, he's all worth it! read more

I'm going to start by telling you I am an awful passenger in a car and I am also a backseat driver... Now when I first contacted Pedro by e-mail, I didn't have long to wait for a response, and then the continuing conversation we had was great. I found his rates reasonable.I said I had to be at the airport a 5:pm on a Friday, I asked when we should be ready, he said 4:20. He was on time. The car clean, comfortable, he was immaculate, pleasant, humorous and has a lovely smile!!!! (that's just a personal thing I have, smiles are so important). We unfortunately had lots of rush hour traffic, he knew a short cut and we got to the airport 5:02! Back to my problems with keeping my mouth shut while I'm NOT driving...I was so very comfortable with his driving I was rendered speechless!!!! (My husband was shocked!!!!), I never felt the need to put my foot on the "break", if you know what I mean. I also had no hurried intake of breath, nothing scared me. We also reserved him for when we got back to LAX. I texted him when we left Arizona and told him I'd let him know when we landed, and then I called him when we got to the curb and within 5 min he was there and again, traffic, and again I had nothing to say! He played some lovely peaceful classical music. I've already decided he is our only mode of transportation whenever we have to be somewhere at a specific time. I highly recommend that if you are in need of transportation, call Pedro and Yolanda (Sunshine Deluxe Transportation),reserve your time and relax!!!! read more

We used this service for the second time recently, to go to LAX. I called the phone number and made a reservation about 5 days in advance. Pedro was friendly and professional. We had asked to be picked up at 7:45am and at literally 7:44 he called and let me know he was outside. The car was clean, and I felt completely safe during the ride. I think the ride cost around $30 from Culver City, which to me was reasonable. It's a relief to have a reliable and affordable transportation option since travel can be so stressful already, and I recommend this company to anyone. read more

I spent an hour waiting for their driver who called several times and couldn't find a street in Santa Monica right off Wilshire. Neither he nor the dispatcher were able to use google. The driver said his navigation device was broken. When I originally called, the dispatcher said it would take 15 to 20 minutes. It took 60 minutes, and several calls. When I called to complain and said that I had called them because of the good reviews on Yelp. He then went on to explain that his drivers were busy and this idiot he had sent me "wasn't one of my people." So he can't take responsibility. This was an awful experience. read more

When service, cleanliness, courtesy, and timeliness are all wrapped up into one great experience, the holder of such credentials need to be, no, must be credited. That holder is Sunshine Yellow Cab. A little more expensive than the other, shall I say to be delicate, unclean taxi cabs and drivers, Sunshine clearly prevails. A tad more money[ $2?] for a germ-free cab? Count me in. read more

We've used Sunshine a number of times now and they've been reliable and timely more times than not. Though, they missed one of our appointments recently for an international flight and we had to scramble last minute for another service. Oddest part was when I called him, he completely denied us making an appointment which was very frustrating (I had the text message confirming day, time, address). Definitely wasn't the polite, nice person I was use to. A few days later, he realized what happened and texted to apologize and offer free pick up, which was very nice. He was waiting for us as promised this time at LAX. However, when we got home, he ended up charging us $30 (for what I believe is now a $45 ride) because he had to wait an hour for us past the flight arrival time. I told him we had to go through customs but the onus was probably on me to be more precise. Nevertheless, I'll probably still use this service for airport arrival pickup since uber et al can't pick up easily at LAX. Will just make sure to call and confirm on the phone instead of via text. read more

I've used this cab company a few times in the past year and figured it was time to give them some proper recognition on Yelp. Star #1: Friendly, easy reservation making over the phone, usually the day before (or morning of) I need the cab. Occasionally it's hard to understand through his accent, but he's polite and repeats himself as necessary. Star #2: PROMPT pick-ups (usually a few minutes early) and Pedro himself has waited for us at the airport pick-up lot when our flight was running 10-15 minutes late. Star #3: Efficient driving -- reasonable speed and creative routes to get me from A to B Star #4: Reasonable prices to/from LAX. Star #5: Clean cars (often PT Cruisers) with working windows and sometimes groovy music to keep you company during LA traffic. My default for cabs. Should be yours too! read more

Wonderful crew there and extremely polite and cheerful . No hassle and on time !!! Could not be happier .

Ugh. I hate to downgrade one of my rare 5-star reviews ... but Sunshine Cabs didn't show-up for a scheduled early morning pickup to LAX. Sure, they were apologetic but that morning I was then running late and I had to drive my car and pay for airport parking during my trip. And this is why we can't have nice things... er, this is why we have Uber. My last 3 LAX trips via Uber have been slightly more expensive but 100% reliable. read more

Called an hour before for an airport trip. The driver was outside five minutes early. She was polite and a good driver. Great cab experience. (Jan, 2013) Used them again in May 2013- also still wonderful! My favorite cab company! read more

Pedro took me to the airport at 4:45 a.m. He arrived at 4:40, and politely told me to take my time. His car was immaculate, as was Pedro. He was cordial, professional and the ride was perfect. He told me Sunshine is a family owned business and you can tell they take pride. I will DEFINITELY use them again and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! Thank you Pedro and Sunshine! read more

Pedro is great. Flawless pickup and drop off to LAX, very friendly to ride with, and he was very easy to coordinate with via text to pick me back up from the airport, despite having an hour delay with the airlines. You can tell he works hard and strives to please the customer. On-time, friendly, clean, easy to coordinate with. Can't get better! read more

Just found Sunshine via Yelp and called Pedro for a ride to LAX from Santa Monica. The current 5 star rating is well deserved. He showed up exactly when he said he would and the ride was quick and smooth. He says he's been driving in LA for 17 yrs and it shows - he navigated rush hour like a pro. *It might help to call ahead during busy times because the service is a 4-person outfit composed only of Pedro, his wife, his son and his daughter. read more

Last week my wife and I took a chance on Sunshine. We previously had so-so experiences with cab companies, and these guys were named Sunshine, so why not give them a go, right?? The driver arrived 10 minutes early for our 6.30am pickup time and patiently waited while we did our last minute running around. He got us to LAX on time. We'll definitely call Sunshine for our future taxi needs! read more

Super friendly and flexible. They are the only transportation that is affordable and provides a infant car seat. It is a family business, so they are unable to accommodate last minute requests unfortunately. Sometimes the car is a bit small for 2 people and an infant if you do not want to pay more for the airport charges for a larger vehicle. read more

Sunshine Yello Cab is amazing! I have gotten to know and have become freinds with Pedro. He is super friendly and very helpful. They are very understanding if there is a last minute cancellation (or at least he is with me) and tries his best with last minute request. I have been using Sunshine for a few months now and is definitly 100% loyal and will recommend them to anyone. They are a great company and very reliable. I have nothing but amazing things to say about them! Thank you for all your help Pedro!!!! read more

After searching Yelp for a cab company in LA, i came across Sunshine Yellow Cab. I called them up and spoke to Pedro himself, very nice man, took all my information and made a reservations for me. When i called up i needed a ride about an hour and a half later, and Pedro was willing to fulfill my needs. Come time to get picked up, Pedro called me about 10 minutes before the time he said he would be there and told me where he was because there was no parking out front. I walked down the street a little bit and found him right where he said he was going to be. He was taking me to LAX for my flight back home. The ride to the air port was very nice. He did not use his phone at all. He was a VERY calm driver and i defiantly felt safe in his cab. He knows a lot about the area which was nice because i was just visiting for a little while, and on the ride to the air port he told me about some history. I would defiantly recommend his family run cab company to anyone. He was very nice, and was VERY reliable. The next time i visit LA i am going to make sure that i use his company because it is just a burdon lifted off of me that i know i will be picked up and dropped off in the location i have asked at the time i have asked. THANK YOU PEDRO!!!!!! -Ryan read more

I needed a cab today from Santa Monica and picked Sunshine Yellow Cab because of their high marks from Yelpers. Probably the single worst cab experience I have had to date and I'm from NYC of all places. Quick rundown: * I was told the cab would be there in 5-10min, it took over 20min and several calls back to them during that time to make sure I had a cab on the way (I'm fine if a cab takes 20 min as long as you tell me that's how long it will take, just don't say "should be there in 5min"). * An unmarked car showed up. I confirmed that he was from the company because I had expected an actual taxi cab to show up. The driver was rude asking me where I was going before I opened up the back door. * As we started heading east, I asked, "Is there a meter or is it a flat rate?" The driver answered "flat" (again, I expected a cab/meter) so I asked how much it would be to go the 8 miles east on Pico and he quoted me $35/40. I said that seems really high to go 8 miles straight down a single road so he called the office and said that's the price. Again, I said I thought I was getting a cab and that's as expensive as it would be to go to the airport I don't understand. I admit I don't take a lot of cabs in LA (I actually needed the cab to take me from a car repair place). * The driver immediately jerked the car over to the side of Pico and said, "GET OUT." Mind you, at that point I was only genuinely surprised at how much the ride was costing me. Obviously, had I known it was a car service when I first called I would have asked that beforehand not once in the car. * I said, "Excuse me?! What's your name?" The driver refused to answer me. I asked again, "What's your name?" He refused. Then turned around and yelled at me to get out and that he was going to call the cops at which point I laughed and said, "Please do!" * He started to turn around in the front seat to face me and I honestly felt like he might grab my arm or something so I got out of the cab and he literally peeled away so fast there was smoke. * I called Sunshine back (what I was attempting to do to double-check the price before the driver swerved over the side of the road to dump me) and didn't get an apology. In fact, he said "I'm not sure which car/driver you had" (um, that's a LIE - I said HE JUST CALLED YOU BEFORE DUMPING ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD) * Guy on the phone made a half-hearted attempt to get me another cab. I told him not to bother - honestly I was dumped on the side of the road in a not-so-great location and had been treated quite terribly so took my chances on the bus. Good luck to anyone else who thinks of using them. read more

Terrible service. When I called to book the airport pickup for Tuesday, August 14, I thought Pedro said Thursday, so I repeated the day and date, Tuesday, the 14th, two times. He said he understood. However, when I called from the baggage claim area, he said he was eating dinner and he refused to come, leaving us stranded at the airport. read more

Don't waste your time calling them. Dispatch is clueless. After a lengthy effort trying to tell the man who didn't understand English where I was located, he told me to go out on the street and wait for a cab to drive by and flag him down. It's no wonder Uber is killing these companies read more

Contrary to other reviews, my experience was bad, despite my interaction was with the owner himself. My this very low rating is based on 1) reservation making with the owner, 2) interaction with other dispatchers and the driver, 3) punctuality and accuracy, and 4) the car itself, far from the photos uploaded at yelp. Very disappointed as fellow yelpers gave high rating. It was also disturbing and aggravating. read more

A horrible cab company. Took a cab from outside a restaurant where the meter kept going up every 15 seconds, wasn't based on mile or time. Cab driver claimed he wasn't doing anything mischievous, yet tried to give us our money back. When we asked for his card he gave us a card for Sunny State Cab. His van was actually labeled A Yellow Cab. Very shady. read more

I used them once and agree to everything ppl mention here. Pedro was nice and polite and arrived 5 min before time. Cab was clean and it was a very pleasant drive to the airport. I'll definitely use this service again. UPDATE (Aug 2013): I have now used this cab service around 10 times using three different drivers from this company and they have been very professional everytime. The cab comes 10 min before the scheduled time, the driver is courteous, no issues in using credit cards and gets me to my location on time. They deserve the 5 star rating most patrons give them here. read more

Yet again Yelp delivers a great business. Have had these guys take us to the airport twice now and both experiences have been fantastic. Not only were they on time, but both times they arrived at least 5 minutes early and got us to the airpot in a very timely maner. Did I mention that they had the lowest rates that I could find as well? read more

Right on time, wonderfully polite/accommodating, and reasonably priced. Had gum and basic amenities in the town car, better than Uber.

I have now used Sunshine to get to LAX from Santa Monica about 10 times. Each and every time the reservation is simple, the driver is 5 minutes early, totally respectful, and gets me to LAX safely and quickly. Pedro is the real deal- he even delivered my left-behind keys to my apartment in LA when I called him from SF. Stellar service. read more

I found these guys through Yelp, and even though I saw their positive ratings and reviews I was still pleasantly surprised by what a good experience it was. Pedro arrived early and got us to the airport quickly, and was polite and friendly to boot. read more

I just ordered a cab for visiting clients from South America heading to the airport. I was worried at first because I wasn't sure if the Chevy vehicle would provide enough room for them and their luggage. However, everything worked out fine. Sunshine Deluxe was early and the fact that Pedro spoke Spanish was a big plus. Thanks for taking good care of our client. read more

I agree with most of the positive reviews here. The service is excellent and I got a complimentary pen too which is an expensive one for taking a cab service! Will use your service when I 'm in the area.... read more

I've only used this cab service one but it's the only one I want to try from now on. I quickly figured out that this was a small family operated business and I like that because I'll get to know my drivers. They charged me by the mile, and I loved that because we were in typical rush hour traffic for about an hour or more and drove only 6 miles. The lady that drove me picked me up in a very nice, clean black small SUV. She was very chatty, but I enjoyed her conversation, she was nice, warm, polite and most importantly a good and safe driver. Maybe they won't ever be perfect and some will be disappointed but I don't expect the world out of a really tiny fleet that is operated by family. I think the pros outweigh the cons. read more

Super responsive, professional and on time! They called to confirm my request, clef when they were a few minutes out and then texted me to confirm which door I wanted to be picked up from. Great experience for. Non-taxi town read more

Great service and owner! Super polite, on time pick-up and great rate from Marina del Rey to LAX.

Pedro is sweet and kind and the best and it is family run business - very nice!

Called for a taxi today to LAX for me and my girlfriend. Pedro was quick to answer and actually at my place 10 minutes early! Charged $27 to go from marina del Rey to lax which was competitive and the taxi was clean and Pedro was great. I will definitely use sunshine again in the future. read more

I called Sunshine this morning at 10:20, requesting a pick up by 10:40. I received a call at 10:30 from my driver letting me know he had arrived and would wait until I picked him up. He was lovely, arrived in a clean white Toyota Camry, and opened my door on the way in and out, despite the fact that I had no luggage. Wonderful service! I will definitely use them again!. read more

Pedro was awesome! He arrived early for our 5:30am airport pick-up from Santa Monica to LAX. The ride to the airport was a very pleasant experience. I would absolutely use him again! 5 stars all the way! Thanks Pedro! read more

My driver was not only on time, but early. She patiently waited for me while I got my stuff out to the car. The car was clean and spacious and my driver was cordial, friendly, and cooperative with finding the best and fastest route to LAX during a high traffic time period. The rate was reasonable. All in all an excellent experience and I will use Sunshine again if I need a cab to the airport from Santa Monica. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Yolanda was great and the car was super nice

Pedro was prompt and very knowledgable. We arrive to LAX in plenty of time to meet our flight! The car was clean and had plenty of room for my family & all our luggage! We will be calling him again on our return trip! Excellent service!!! read more
