89 Taxi

We took the taxi from our hotel to downtown burlington so we didn’t have to drive. On the way back to the hotel the driver was either intoxicated or the worst driver I’ve ever come across. He was swerving in and out of lanes, stopped in the middle of intersections (with green lights) and sped over a huge bump into our hotel parking lot. I do not suggest this taxi company to anyone.

Taken for a ride! Literally! Asked to be taken from Church Street to the Doubletree. This cab driver took us to Winooski first and then to the Doubletree — Unfrigginbelievable.
Don’t get in the car with these crooks!
I’m calling the City to report the drivers name and medallion number. Which I took a picture of Ashton Wilkins #89. You’re awesome man!

My husband and I used 89 Taxi while visiting Burlington a week ago. The driver was very friendly and the cab was clean. I will use them again.

I called these guys 4 times and they never showed up, waited an hour. I’m in Burlington VT and they didn’t know where the Marriott was– are you kidding me?!!
Do not call this company!

When booking a taxi, my main requirement is that they show up and not murder me. If you’re like me, you should not bother with 89 Taxi. You are better off calling someone else who will hopefully actually show up.

Don’t bother with 89 Taxi if you have someplace to be. I made a reservation through the website to bring me to the Amtrak station the next morning at 8:30 am. Since it was only about 24 hours away, I asked for a confirmation that the time would be ok. Just a few minutes later I received a telephone call from the taxi company confirming the time and date. So, I felt pretty confident that the taxi would come. No such luck.
No sign of the taxi the next morning at 8:40 am so I called to see where they were. The calls all went straight to a message that told me no voicemail had been setup for the number. That’s not a good sign! As of 9:00 still no sign of the taxi. I managed to find another taxi company that was able to drive me on short notice. I nearly missed my train because of 89 Taxi. I will never ever call them again.

Until I learned of 89 Taxi there was only 1 cab company in the Burlington area that I trusted. Happily, I now have 2! I have had some of the very worst experiences with cabs in Burlington, from clearly intoxicated drivers and extremely dangerous driving to pickups 25 minutes after scheduled and lost drivers unwilling to admit it. 89 Taxi was nothing like these. The driver was perfectly prompt and very professional, I needed him to make an unplanned stop along the way and he did so quite willingly. He inquired as to my preference for the route. He was very kind and respectful, and managed to hold a conversation when appropriate without being inconvenient when I needed to conduct business calls.
I have already recommended them to my coworkers and friends and will continue to patron this business.

Could barely understand initial call. Scheduled for 7:30 and called at 7:38 to see where they were. They picked up then hung up on me, then didn’t pick up three times, so I went with someone else. Don’t make the same mistake I did — avoid!
