Charleston Green Taxi

I rarely write reviews for non restaurants but Charleston Green Taxi really deserves an excellent review! Everything about them was perfect! I reserved two separate rides a few days before my trip to Charleston. Before each pickup they texted me to give the driver’s name and to tell me he was on his way. I thought that was such a nice touch! Also, then the driver called me. They were early to pick me up both times. The drivers were friendly and courteous at all times. I will DEFINITELY use them on my next trip to Charleston!

Despite the terrible weather and road closures, my driver (Jim) picked me up on time and got me safely to the airport with time to spare. He was friendly and professional. I would definitely use this taxi service again! I originally tried to get an über but there were none in the area. I’m so glad I found Green Taxi instead!

The driver arrived promptly. Helped my girlfriend with her bags to the car. He got us to the airport on time. Car was clean and there was room for the bags.

For my first green taxi experience, our driver picked us up in a nice clean hybrid Toyota Camry. It was our drivers first day so he wasn’t exactly sure where were going, but it wasn’t an issue. He was extremely polite and we had fun chatting about how his first day was going. Myself and two friends had all left cars at the bar and taxied home the night before… Yay for responsibility! The ride was way cheaper than our taxi from the evening before and better than another cab co I called that morning (who also had a half hour wait). Green taxi won my business that day and I’ve continued to use them since. Thanks for the ride!

We flew to Charleston for a short trip and did not want to lug our daughter’s child seat around just to get to and from the airport — Charleston Green Taxi to the rescue! For an additional $ 15 they will provide a car seat as long as you call in advance. The only downside is that you have to install the seat yourself, which can be a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with that particular seat, but overall this was not really a big deal and still a major convenience. I would be remiss if I did not add that Green Taxi provides great communication and customer service. We got a text message when our driver was on his way and our driver arrived ahead of schedule both times that we used the service. While we got picked up in a mini van that was probably anything but green, Green Taxi’s service was professional and friendly, not much more you could ask for!

Our driver seemed a bit scatterbrained. When making the reservations, we were told they monitor your flight and will be waiting for you. The flight was only about 10 min behind schedule and we got a call asking if we still needed the cab. Of course we did, we were just late but if he were really monitoring the flight he would have known. Right?
When we were finally curbside he wasn’t where he said he’d be. After calling him back he said he’d be a few more minutes because he forgot that he needed new permits to park at the airport and had to go pick them up. Really?!? He forgot… That delayed us about 15 more minutes.
When we got to the hotel, we went to pay with credit card but he couldn’t find his square to process the card through his phone so we scrambled for the $ 50 cash. When we asked for a receipt (which we need for the expense report), he didn’t have one and said he’d email it right away. Its 2 days later– no email ever came.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because the driver was extremely apologetic and was very nice, just very scattered and seemed out of sorts. Maybe it was just «one of those days» where nothing goes right, who knows.

This taxi service was as good as it gets… very prompt sends a text letting you know they are en route… and when they arrive! The drivers we had were so friendly and informative. a big thanks to Susan, Lee, Ron and Tim you made our rides from folly beach enjoyable!!!

Highlights of my experience:
–Great customer service
–Received text confirmation the taxi was en route
–Jim (our driver) called 30 minutes ahead to confirm he was on his way
–Taxi arrived ahead of schedule
–Professional and friendly dispatcher/​driver
$ 50 flat rate from Isle of Palms to CHS airport (which was a 25 mile/​30 minute ride with no traffic).
Even though Über recently launched in Charleston, and is starting to take off, you can’t 100% rely on a car being around the more quiet neighborhoods.
I’d highly recommend Charleston Green Taxi as a transportation option.

Dispatchers have been incredibly friendly, drivers were safe, efficient, & timely. Literally no complaints whatsoever. Available when even Über wasn’t, & both days I used them, they showed up just a few minutes before the projected time.

Charles and Terri gave my friends and I the best cab rides of our lives. Pay them lots of money

Great service. Tried 2 other companies first but they said it would be 30 min to an hour. These guys showed up in 5 minutes. Driver was super nice. Highly recommend.

I liked them. I would do 3.5 stars if possible. The dispatcher was nice. I called without a reservation and was able to be picked up within ten minutes. I like that they take credit cards. The cars are clean and ride nicely. The only bad thing was my driver. He was awful! I was scared for my life the entire time. He sped way too fast down small back roads and was very erratic. At one point I looked up and he was doing something on his phone while he was driving! I don’t care if you check your phone at a stop light, but to do that while driving is not cool.

Very disappointed. The driver was not friendly. Didn’t offer to get our bags. Nothing. Will never call them again. He also drive very fast and we had to hold on.

We called this company on short notice after another cab company never showed. We were in a pinch to make a flight and they did a great job getting us to the airport on time and with a reasonable rate.
Our driver was very nice and pleasant to talk to and the can was very clean.
Driver was James.

$ 35 flat rate to the airport from most of the southern peninsula, so don’t sweat traffic due to a sweet tea spill or sorghum molasses crossing — it’s all the same price.
Cars are immaculate, comfortable, and easy on the ozone layer. Amicable drivers who engaged you when you want it, and clam up when you don’t. Dispatch is plum center of downtown Chaz, HQ’d right off East Bay.
If you called a city cab, who knows what kind of carriage will arrive to pick you up? Dial Green Taxi, expect a slick little whip and sleep sound knowing you can put it on your plastic, without the guilt of saying «plastic.»
Because, see, plastic isn’t very green. See?

I’m from out of town and called them, gave them the wrong address. They gave me no problems, picked me up within 15 minutes. Driver was great too.
$ 20 for a 20 minute drive was reasonable too.

Green Taxi earned a new committed customer on New Years Eve. The only available reservations were at three in the morning, but the booker advised us to call when we were ready to go home, so we did and were promptly accommodated. Not only did we get our ride over an hour earlier than planned, but the wait for the cab was the shortest I’ve ever had. The driver was super friendly and the pricing was fair. Green Taxi is the way to go for reliable cab service.

Everything went fine for me. I used Charleston Green Taxi from Downtown Charleston to the airport. It was a flat rate which was easy, the driver showed up, kindly introduced himself and loaded my luggage. We chatted amiably on the ride — he was just a nice guy. I’d use them again.
They take cards by attaching a card swipe reader to an iPhone. There are no meters in the car, so I don’t know if I’d use them for something other than the flat rate deal to/​from the airport.

The person who took the reservation definitely sounded stoned, and I live in a new development so made sure I gave her really clear directions so their driver didn’t get lost if it didn’t show up on their GPS.
Was supposed to be picked up at 5:40 a. m…got a call at 5:00 a.m. because the driver couldn’t find my development. So yeah, going to ding them on their intake person, but I thought it was really nice that my driver, Rich, got up so early so he could find the place and be there on time. So snaps on that.
Their little Priuses (Priusi?) are clean and comfortable for a trip to the airport. It was $ 40 one way which I thought was a little steep to go one way, 10 miles, but hell… saved me from driving or having my husband drive me, and wake up the baby, and blah blah blah you don’t give a shit… all I am saying is that there is a price for convenience.

We used this taxi when we visited Charleston. The cab showed up quick and within the timeframe mentioned each time. The drivers we had were extremely friendly as well. (added bonus: they use Hybrid vehicles)
They also use a flat rate $ 7 within the city and $ 15 to cross the bridge, which is nice, so you don’t have to worry about them taking longer routes, traffic, etc.
When in Charleston, this will be the taxi service I use.
