Yellow Cab

I’m giving this company 5 stars as today I needed a cab twice and both times they showed up very fast and the company even sent me a text message to tell me what can number and how far away!!! Both drivers were very good… I would highly recommend this company and was a little surprised that there was bad reviews

Horrible tried to call from our hotel they said it was not a registered location front desk clerk got us a taxi second time we called from another business it took three phone calls and 45 minutes I do not recommend this cab company

I have the absolutely best experiences with Yellow Cab! I say this as I am with my friend who only uses Über and the driver is rude, the car is filthy and not very cool even though the temp is reading 61 degrees.
Last week just for kicks I tried Friendly Checker Cab and upon arrival at my destination am informed that this driver that he doesn’t accept debit/​credit cards. Also their dispatch is very unprofessional when taking your call.
I’ve been taking Yellow Cab for over a year and have never had a rude driver or unable to communicate with one (another problem my friend has encountered with Über), the cabs are always clean and cool.
Thank you for a professional service.

You know your in trouble when the a/​c is broken.
Driver long hauled me, feathered the gas, and generally tried to screw me. I’ve taken this ride multiple times, during different times of the day and this time it was magically 14 dollars more than usual.
I’m switching cab companies, or I’m gonna use über next time.

I had to call the wheel chair yellow cab service to go to the doctor. I never had such a horrific experience.
I called for a cab around 1pm when I was done with my appointment. I waited over 3 hours and they stranded me. No one would answer the call to pick me up and take me back to rehab. I am on a non weight bearing cast and wheel chair bound.
I was told from an employee of the Orthopedic Center that yellow cab will not pick me up because the distance is short and the fare would be too low and the driver will not make enough money.
The employee helped me call another transportation company so I finally got back to the rehab. Totally exhausted, sick and in terriable pain.
I saw at least 4 empty cabs pass by me and none would pick me up.
I took a cab to the dr appointment and and my fare was about 7.00. I gave the driver a 5.00 tip and I thought that was enough.
Do not ever rely on Yellow Cab Company especially if you are handicapped and in need of transportation.

Good, clean ride from my hotel to the airport. I left my phone in the cab and the company was very helpful in getting it returned to me all the way back in CA. Thanks Tony!

I wish I were able to leave a positive review. Unfortunately, I had no choice! None.
Ordered a cab the night before for an early cab to the airport. They said said they would be on time, they said I’d make it to the airport when I was suppose to, they lied. It took about an hour to get my cab.
I don’t blame the driver, I blame the lack of communication between the dispatcher and its clients. If there are no cabs available, let me know so I can make other arrangements, don’t keep me waiting, especially when it’s time sensitive.
I would go for another taxi service if I were you, but if you have time to spare, go with them.

Today my wife and I went to the taxi stand at the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Neither the man who was directing the cabs to move up or the driver who he gave us asked where we were going. After he pulled away, I gave the driver the address. When the heard we were only going a few miles, he spent some time angrily telling us we should have taken a shuttle (wtf?). He complained that he had spent an hour in the queue for this tiny fare. He lectured us repeatedly that it was our responsibility to have known better. We had to listen to this in a hot (no air conditioning) cab which did not help. Bottom line: We won’t be taking this company’s cabs ever again.

Pre-​ordered a cap for 5:20 a. m ride to the airport. Text showed right on time and i went out 5 minutes early to see it drive away with someone else. Called and and got hung up on. Über saved me. Following up, I was told that the cab diver (cab 184) said I cancelled. Completely false.
DO NOT USE YELLOW CAB IF RELIABILITY IS IMPORTANT!

Dirty taxis. No AC. We, as locals always take public transport from home to the airport. It is a 4.5 mile drive and they charge us $ 20!!! The cabs are old, malfunctioning, filthy, rude drivers, EXTRA $ 3 fee to leave the airport. Every single time we get in the cab we have to «EXPLAIN» them how to get home so they don’t take the highway which is unnecessary. I wish we took. Pics and wrote down the cab numbers, but it won’t make a difference since they’re all the same.
An Über or Lyft ride: same distance costs $ 6!!!
Don’t waste your time and money!

I had to call these guys 5 times before the cab got to were they were supposed to pick me up. By that time they had already made me 45 minutes late and I had organized other arrangements.
And that’s just one of the less-​than-​ideal experiences I’ve had with these guys.
They’re going to need to up their game when Über comes back to Broward.

Über will be back soon
Simple these drivers can’t drive
I am in the cab and I drive these roads all the time
Takes 4 lights to get on 95
I never wait 5 min just to get on 95

Cab FL156 had no working speedometer. It read zero the whole trip. Air conditioning only turned on after we asked for it… in August in South Florida. Not one word from driver the entire time. When we arrived he sat there until I asked him how to use the credit machine. «Oh, you want to pay by credit card?» So tacky. This is definitely not Über! I hope they are enjoying all the scraps of their business until Über comes back. Then we will have good service and clean, safe, COOL cars once again.

This was one of the worst, if not single handedly THE worst cab experience I’ve had. Yellow cab has monopolized the transportation in this tourist city since the shut down of ride sharing services über and lyft, and the service provided has suffered due to the lack of competition. Between poor communication skills, multiple drivers trying to rip us off, and slow service I have nothing positive to report.
Our first driver in Ft Lauderdale claimed technical difficulties when the meter didn’t run. Being skeptical of any company I’m not familiar with I read up on all of the policies in the cab while we were still in it. It clearly stated on the back of the head rest that if for any reason the meter isn’t running or the driver doesn’t allow the passenger to use a credit card, then the ride is free. The driver continuously tried to tell us that the ride would «only be $ 20» when in actuality it would have been about $ 8. I reminded the driver multiple times about the company policy in writing inside of the car, but he clearly wasn’t planning to follow it. The driver offered to drop us on an intersection by the airport. how courteous!
The last source of my rage (from this transaction, mind you) is when we finally convinced the driver to take us where we were going for $ 10 (cash). I wrote down the phone number listed under the policy for any complaints as well as the cab ID # listed inside. When I called customer service to report the driver the representative spoke such poor English I couldn’t even complete my complaint. I ended up hanging up in frustration with no reimbursement, no apology, and no promise to future customers that it wouldn’t happen again.
If given the choice, I would never use this company again. Best of luck to all of you traveling in Ft. Lauderdale!

Horrible service… called for a cab, they said 15 minutes 1 hours later I’m still waiting. I called several times and each time got the run around. Additionally I live in a gated community and I received 2 computer phone calls asking me if i was outside.
Über is no longer approved to run in this area and that is a crying shame. Each time I took them I got a clean courteous driver and car along with intelligent fun conversation and — here’s the best part they were there within 4 minutes on four different rides.
Broward county is merely getting paid off by the unions or they would not ban Über… they are anti-​jobs and support incompetent, slow, discourteous cab companies.
Addition: Waited over 1 hour and yet no cab. Called 4 times and was on hold for over 10 minutes, finally hung up.
I called other cab companies and I got nothing but an answering machine. Now I know that the county has some sort of deal with this company. Someone is getting paid off somewhere, it seems to me. Ft Lauderdale needs Über it’s faster, not incompetent, clean, and less expensive and Über won’t stress out people as they have me.
IF I COULD GIVE MINUS 5 STARS I WOULD THIS IS THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. PETITION BROWARD COUNTY TO BRING BACK UBER!!! FAR BETTER.

I have lived in a hand full of countries and visited many cities… and nowhere is the taxi service as bad as in Fort Lauderdale. The only taxis I boycott are the ones here… and I live here now!
The reason? My ten experiences have ALL BEEN HORRIBLE. I have gotten ripped off, scammed, complained at because of wanting to use credit card and not cash, and the drivers are all the worst. Seriously, do not get a cab in this city.

I have travelled around the planet for the last 10 years for work and with out a doubt, Fort Lauderdale yellow taxis are the worst in the modern world.
Rude
Never clean
Never know where to go
Can not speak English
Only want cash!!! When every person deals only in CC
Over priced.
THE WORST DRIVERS.
As for my driver, he just liked to spit out the window all the time
No wonder Fort Lauderdale gets a bad wrap from around America
Your better off jumping in front of a car, getting hit, then asking the driver to take you to your hotel, home etc…
Good luck

Monopoly at the FLL airport… Shame on them!
It would be one thing if this cabbie knew where he was going, but he doesn’t… He asked us to put our destination in our own GPS.
I’m so glad the existence of cabs are coming to an end… Now if only Über could over come the lobbyists!

Terrible rip off — worse than any cab I’ve been in, and I’m in cabs multiple times a week.
Cabbie left the airport and pretended to not know my hotel. Pulled off on the highway in an unsafe location and muttered something about having «lost» $ 25 because he hadn’t put the meter on. (When we arrived at the destination, he tried to badger me into paying the $ 25 — not a chance, buddy.)
He drove 45 in the 65 mph HOV lane, causing people to zip around us, honk, flip us off, and even cut in front of us and tap on the brakes. All very unsafe. Thinking this was his way of inflating the fare, I asked him to go the speed limit, and then he had trouble staying in the lane.
Argumentative. UNSAFE. I was literally texting people during this drive, giving them the cab number, etc, in case something happened.
Ridiculous. And then argumentative when he didn’t get a tip (or that $ 25 he was trying to scam, and, rip off from the company).
Plus, complainy about someone using a credit card. Puh-​leeze.

Don’t ride on Yellow Cab that often. Maybe just once or twice a year when I have to get from FLL to Port Everglades cruise port which is relatively a short ride.
The line waiting for the taxi at the airport which is usually short and it is easier than prebooking my ride.
Cost is around $ 25 with tax and tips and they have passenger vans if you have a lot of luggage.
