Yellow Cab

Great service and very good price compared to other taxi services (not gonna call anyone out). Other than the small inconvenience of a broken seat belt, overall a great ride!

Usually Yellow Cab (818) 242‑3131 is usually very fast and efficient.
Today, I got a text that my flight was cancelled and I wanted to try to catch an earlier flight. I immediately called Yellow Cab and they said it would be 5 – 15 minutes. The cans usually wait at a hotel 1 mile from my home, so they usually come quickly. After. 20 minutes, it still hadn’t arrived, so I called back. Apparently, there was a «computer glitch» and my request hadn’t gone through.
She sent the request again and about 10 minutes later a cab showed up. This driver could barely get out of the vehicle and almost shut my arm in the trunk when I tried to put my bag in. His vehicle was filthy, with an empty soda can in the back and empty food containers in the front, with spilled rice all I between the front seats. Once near the Burbank airport, he drove past the entrance on Empire! Then he drove past the left turn to get onto Hollywood way. When I stopped him, instead of turning onto Hollywood Way after making a u-​turn, he kept going back to the original Empire entrance! Extra $ 2 gone, just like that.
I was still trying to make the earlier flight, so I didn’t get his name or cab number.
After this, and the fact that I could have easily made the earlier flight had they sent a cab the first time, I will be taking Über or Lyft from here on out.

Never again will I take a Yellow Cab when traveling into LAX.
The driver of 6649 created such a stink picking us up that I am done with this company.
When we (family of 4) arrived and were next in line to be picked up, the lady behind us volunteers to take the small taxi while we take 6649 (an SUV). She jumps into the small cab and this driver REFUSES to take us. I suppose it’s because the young lady was nice looking. Whatever the case, he was wrong and we reported him.

My friends and I asked for a pickup for six people to return to our hotel last night. We had asked exactly the same thing on our way out a few hours before and gotten a van, which was nice, but we were then definitely taken on a roundabout route (the driver assumed that our whole group was from out of town, not knowing that I was a local and could tell he was going well out of our way). He did not use a GPS.
This time, only one sedan showed up, which would hold four of our six people. The driver insisted it must be our fault and tried to run the meter while we were attempting to correct the problem with dispatch. He claimed there were no vans available past 7pm even though we had taken one on the first part of our trip at 8pm.
Once we finally got confirmation that another cab was on the way to pick up the rest of our group, we were forced to leave three friends behind on the curb at 11:30pm, after getting complaints from the driver that we were wasting his time. He then attempted to take us on yet another unnecessarily long route until I gave him specific directions, and after he learned I lived in the area he quickly corrected himself.
We had asked for a taxi recommendation from our hotel and were then mistreated at practically every opportunity. Usually I’m the first to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but the problem reached much further than just one rude or incompetent cab driver. I would certainly look elsewhere if you need a taxi.

Excellent! I called on Wednesday morning around 1am to go from Burbank to Koreatown. My driver showed up within minutes. He was cheery, super nice and very sweet. He used his GPS system because he’s detail oriented.

Consider yourself lucky if they show up within 2x their time estimate, and doubly so if they actually pick you up as opposed to some random fare.
Another compelling reason to Über.

I wish I could give them no stars! This cab driver picks me up from the airport, I tell him the exact location I need to go to and he choose not to use his navigation system. (which I feel was because he rather run around the town hiking up the fare before getting to the destination) I was furious when I got home and was able to see on a map that he took me in the WRONG direction! Just a huge circle before arriving to me stop! I don’t not recommend this to my worst of enemies, don’t waste your money or time.

left an Amazon Kindle in a purple case in cab 6512 at about 12:58PM on Saturday March 9, 2013.
The driver was Sargis Minasyan.
I called immediately after I was dropped off at the North Hollywood Orange Line Station at Lankershim and Chandler. However, the dispatch couldn’t get a hold of the driver. They asked me to call back in 15 minutes. I had a train to catch and I called again on Sunday and again the dispatch couldn’t get a hold of the driver
Left word with their Lost and Found on Monday and emailed them — no response.
Seriously– its obvious the cab driver found it and stole it. Beware of Yellow Cab thieving drivers.

The cab I ordered 3 hours in advance was 5 minutes late; I called to make sure they knew where to go and was told that they will be there in 2 minutes, and the woman was rude & stated that «they couldn’t help the traffic» and hung up on me. 10 minutes later, I called again and was told that they were lost, but knew where to go, and will be there in a few seconds. 10 more minutes later, I call again, same thing. 5 minutes later, I was told that they had to dispatch another cab because it was a block out of Burbank, and they weren’t allowed to pick us up in «Los Angeles». Oh. They just lied to me for the last 30 minutes and I believed them when they said, just a few more minutes… It’s upseting when you are trying to catch a flight out of LAX. A collegue called a different cab company for me; CITY CAB picked me up in 5 minutes, City Cab is great! Yellow Cab never showed up; if I could give them 5 negative stars that would be most appropriate.
Don’t waste your time.

I called first to get a quote of what the trip would cost and it turned out that it came out to be way less. The guy was extremely prompt, the cab was clean, and the driver was very nice. I’m definitely keeping this number in my phone.

I asked Siri for the closest Yellow Cab and it came up Burbank 818.242.3131.
Called a little after midnight for a pick up for me and a couple friends from a bar last night. They said 10 – 15 minutes but we were receiving our pick up call, stating they had arrived within about 5 minutes. Great service! Definitely the way to go to avoid those pesky expensive DUI’s. Be responsible folks! Call a cab, if needed.
