Buzzy’s Taxi

Called for a taxi, came right on time. Car was clean, driver was friendly. Made it to my destination efficiently. There was no fare counter running, but that’s the fault of Albany’s taxi zoning rules. Flat fee for any trips outside downtown, if you’re in a position to negotiate ask what the fee is before getting in. 8 $ to go from Glenmont to downtown

Avoid at ALL costs! Worst experience in a cab ever coming from Albany to North Greenbush. Messy car and rude driver that makes up fare on a whim. HORRIBLE.

Totally HOSTILE DIVER. Definitely do not use this taxi service if you have a choice!
We were looking for a ride home from Albany to East Greenbush and the bar who ordered the taxi called Buzzy“s. The driver was extremely rude, exceeded posted speed limits by driving over 85 mph on I-​90, and was just not someone who you would feel comfortable with. We have used many taxicabs throughout the USA and never have experienced anything like this.

Pretty simple. These guys are dicks and unprofessional. Will try to rip you off and make you real uncomfortable while doing it. Call another cab or just sleep at the bar.

Horrrrrrrible… If your lucky you might get picked up then taken on a joy ride with a bunch of drunk college boys to the next bar before they drop you off. And if you complain about it they will verbally threaten you. Sad to say

Took a cab from downtown albany to residence in in latham on a METERED CAB and it was $ 16. Took the same ride on buzzy cab and it cost me $ 35.

Horrible do not use them ever!!! You are better off walking! I missed my train because of them. When I called to complain they claimed I never said it was urgent. Unreal, not even a sorry!

I had a 4:30am reservation to make a train. I felt pretty good about it when the driver called at 4:06 to confirm the address. He didn’t make it by 4:30 so I called him and at this point he expressed some confusion about directions. I stayed on the phone to help and after naming half the streets in the neighborhood he said something like «If I can’t find it I’ll use the GPS.» If you have a GPS, why didn’t you use it BEFORE you were late?!
He was running 10 minutes late when we pulled the plug, woke up my brother and were out the door in 2 minutes. I called and cancelled and the driver didn’t even apologize.

Needed a cab and Buzzys was the first to come up. I called and the woman quoted 15 min. It was more like 25 before they arrived. The car was old and pretty ragged but the driver was extremely friendly. It made it very comfortable to have such a cool driver.

I visit Albany often and since I fly in and don’t rent a car, I often find myself in need of a ride so I decided to check out the online reviews for the cab services in the area. I found mostly terrible reviews so when I really needed a ride today I decided to go with the taxi company that had the best review. Actually here on Unilocal there was only one review for Buzzy’s and that seemed rather lame and suspicious because it lacked any detail what so ever. The reviewer also did very few other reviews of any sort. So I took my chances and called Buzzy’s. A cab pulled up in less than 10 minutes and I climbed in and was met by a very friendly driver and a cab that did NOT smell as so many of the other reviews of other companies wrote about. I looked around and this cab had normal wear and tear and was very clean with no odor at all. The driver was professional and friendly. As we got closer to my destination I asked his name and hours he was on duty because I will most definitely be using his company and if possible specifically asking for him again. The drivers name was Mike H. and his cab number is 06. It is a shame that Albany has such a bad rep in taxi service so I am happy to report that there IS at least one reliable and clean company available.
