Martinez Taxi

I highly recommend this taxi service. I requested a reservation for a very early flight to the Oakland Airport and the owner of this company helped me determine the time that I would need to be picked up. He is very kind and professional as is the staff that I spoke with.
It was easy to reach them by phone when I had additional questions.
— On time
— very nice and clean car
— pleasant conversation
Cash only, but I planned ahead, so no problem. I am happy that I called this taxi service.

Muhammad came to get me when I missed a late night bus and needed a taxi to catch an Amtrak train. He arrived within 15 minutes of my call and got me to the train station well ahead of schedule. He spoke with me with kindness and honesty, knew the area very well, took me to an ATM a block away when I didn’t have the cash I needed on hand, and most importantly dealt with me as a very honorable businessman: no tricks. If I need a taxi in the Martinez area again I will make sure to call Muhammad.

I set an appointment the day before and the car arrived on time, The driver spoke English as a first language and was quite friendly. We requested a pickup that evening and again the driver was on time and personable. Clean vehicle. I would use them again

Great taxi service. Muhammad is always kind and his staff is awesome. Picks us up in 10 minutes everytime.

I had a very good experience with this company. Our car overheated and got toasted on the Martinez bridge and what with having to deal with all that (with four kids!) and getting the car towed, etc, it was nice not to have to worry about the taxi service. I called and it seemed like our ride was instantly there. The woman who drove us all the way to Santa Cruz was very nice, personable, and professional. The only thing hindering a 5 star review instead of 4 is that it is cash only. As long as you know that ahead of time and are prepared it should be no big deal, but finding the ATM machine at some point can be a detractor. Luckily ours was right on the way to our house. Rate was very fair and everything else perfect.

Absolutely stellar service. I needed a cab in a hurry and they were there faster than promised. The cab was clean, the driver was friendly, and I would recommend 100%

absolutely perfect, on time !
quick response (emailed prior to using service)
quoted me an awesome price!
Will definitely use again!

On time, knowledgeable of streets, and pleasant. One of the better cab drivers. Chatted it all the way up to the amtrak station. I will be this taxi service every time I need a ride from now on.

Very reliable. I was able to make an arrangement to take me from the Martinez train station to my hotel in Vallejo.
The dispatcher was kind and made sure there was someone to pick me up from the station so that I did not have to wait at all.
Driver was very friendly.
Cash only, driver on time, dispatcher willing to make appointments.

Good taxi services and accept only cash… taxi arrived on time and driver is also friendly

Wow. Never before have I had to argue in order to get to my destination while taking a cab. Driver didn’t want to take me to Concord BART, wanted to take me to Martinez BART. When I said no, take me to Concord BART, he took me the scenic route and complained the whole way. Annoying, and won’t be repeated.

I have had nothing but good experiences with Martinez Taxi. Mohamed is the owner and extremely courteous and nice. I travel a lot on business and take Bart to and from SFO. Mohamed gets me to BART on time and keeps me on schedule. I understand he has limos too and does wine tours and airport runs but I have not used Martinez Taxi for that yet. I like supporting local businesses especially business owners who not only choose to locate in Martinez but also live in Martinez and Mohamed does.

Horrible horrible cab company!!! The driver took me around an extra 20 minutes looking for a nonexistent ATM. Welcome to 2013 use credit cards!

Nice family owned Taxi Co. Used them for ride from N. Concord Bart to home in Martinez after Barting from SFO. Driver was friendly and knowledgable about how to get you home. Will use them in the future!

We took the train into Martinez. Got loaded at Barrel Aged. They called these guys for us and he came and picked the six of us up, drove us to Port Costa, and all for under $ 30. Next morning, we called, and he came right back and grabbed us again. Back to Martinez for our train home. Again, under $ 30. Great guy, even if he did like taking the inside (wrong side) corner on several blind corners on Mc Ewen (aka Snake road) which definitely contributed to the pucker factor. He wasn’t dead on with his arrival time estimates, but what’s a few minutes when you’re having fun?

My mother and I were coming in to the Martinez Amtrak station from a weekend trip to Sacramento and needed to get home to Walnut Creek. I called ahead and they assured me they would have someone there to meet us. They went beyond that and called me before we even reached the station to let me know they were there and waiting. The ride to Walnut Creek was quick and effortless. I’m not a Martinez local, but if I’m ever in Martinez and need a taxi I know who I’ll call. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is one nice and reliable company! The only reason I don’t give them 5 stars is because their cars are not bright and shiny, but for a service-​oriented and personable company, they are 6 stars !
I would definitely recommend their services.

I use these guys alot. When they’re available, they come as planned, and as expected.
No Taxi service is perfect, and I’ve had to wait some times, but not for long, they always seem to come through.

Well, things have apparently deteriorated here since my review. Spotty is the BEST word I can use, and that’s being very generous. I think my past relationship with this Co was based on extremely nice drivers — who I guess now are not currently involved with Martinez Cab? I’m not sure…
But I can report that their recent service has completely sucked. They seem to never be able to make it out, even though I am a repeat customer who tipped very generously. Now, they seem to never have service available. All of my exchanges with them have always been extremely pleasant and very respectful.
Tonight I used a different Cab co (try calling 825‑9292), and had a VERY good experience, and they were tipped accordingly, as always, as I appreciate good service. It seems to be hit & miss with Taxi’s around here, maybe due to the personnel moving around?
My only suggestion would be to call everyone — even the Concord & Walnut Creek Co’s, as things seem to be very fluid in this business… take what you can get, abd good luck.

Again, no answer when I called them at 12:15AM — VM box full. Again, called Concord Yellow Cab (925) 825‑9292 and they were here in one half the time they estimated (10 minutes).

Hey, they at least answered my call?
So, I ordered a cab yesterday ⁴⁄₂₁ at 12:05pm, they told me a half hour, no problem. I called at 12:35, guy says 2 minutes. I call at 12:50 to tell them I’m driving my car. WTF?
I’m only giving them 2 stars because I did not completely use this taxi service, only ordered and gave them a fair attempt.

What happens when it’s your husband’s best friends birthday, and they spent the day drinking beers and doing shots?
Then his wife wants to walk downtown for dinner, but on that walk realized that her husband was incredibly drunk.
Embarrassingly drunk that is.
Once at the restaurant you also realize that he is also to drunk to eat his food and then he proceeds to pass out in his chair.
My husband fails to realize that his friends are not all giants like him and they can’t handle the copious amounts of booze that he can.
My friend had the restaurant call us a cab. It was there in 2 minutes flat.
The ride home was eventful to say the least. We told the driver it was drunky boy’s birthday and he laughed.
Our drunk friend said «I thought I was old yesterday.»
Then the driver said, «I thought I was old 10 minutes before I picked you guys up.»
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would take a cab for a mile from downtown Martinez to my house.
Fast, funny and understanding. I like this cab company.
