A Marin Taxi

I called ahead for an early morning pick up to get to the airporter and they didn’t show. When I called to check on them, they hung up on me. When I tried to reach them again I went straight to voicemail.
Don’t ever use these guys if you really need a cab.

We decided to cab it from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Golden Gate. Looking around the bridge’s north side vista for a taxi (not many choices), I spotted A Marin & took a chance. About 30 seconds into the ride the guy asked if I wanted to «sell any of the kids» referring to my wife & son. I took it as a bad joke but now I wish had stopped & gotten out. He then told joked they needed some slaves at his other business, a B&B called Redwoods Haus in Stinson Beach (gave us their card).
As we drove back across the bridge and into town, he noted certain neighborhoods & explained how the blacks and Chinese had ruined them. Finally he got on the subject of music & explained how all the famous piano players were «faggots.»
I don’t know if this guy was trying to be a comedian or what, but it was very inappropriate and not funny. He did tell us things about the area, encouraged our son to take music lessons, and serenaded us & the financial district with his mini-​trumpet. Otherwise it was the worst cab ride I’d ever taken and only endured it because we were from out of town and just needed to get back from the bridge.
Finally, we were dropped off about a block from where we needed to be. Later on I had to talk to my son and debunk all the racist, hateful crap the guy said.
If you see an old black Ford 4-​door Escort with a blue sign «A MARIN TAXI» do yourself a favor and just pass. I wish I could put no stars on this review.

Had a ride all arranged to go to airport we and they never showed up. Never called. Now we are scrambling to get a ride so we can make our flight. Do not use this company!!!

Got a ride to the airport from George. He was punctual, charming and had great music playing to boot! I would call him again in an instant if needed!

I was left at the Manzanita parking lot and the cab that the marin transporter called never showed. I needed to get to Stinson so I called A Marin Taxi and it was perfect!!! Very professional, prompt, friendly, and I wouldn’t call any other cab company from here out.

Completely unreliable and unprofessional. Made a reservation early in the morning, but when the time came he never showed up. Called him 10 minutes after the reservation and he said he could maybe show up in 30 more minutes! I understand things come up, however a phone call ahead of time to let us know we should make alternative plans would have been very helpful.

Alfonz was absolutely awesome! We didn’t know we were going to get a tour if San Fran when we flagged down a cab, but I must say it was the best cab ride I’ve ever been on! Thank you!

Love the no show — thanks a lot.
Reviews for cab companies in Mill Valley aren’t very stellar, so I went with this company as they were middle of the road. BIG mistake.
I called on ¹²⁄₁₉ at 11:00am to make a reservation for a trip within Mill Valley. I talked to the person who answered (he sounded kinda «off» now that I think about it) and arranged a cab for 6:45am on ¹²⁄₂₀ to take me to the Manzanita park & ride for the airport shuttle. Not huge fare, but pretty decent and I tip well.
6:46 rolls around. I call. It goes to voicemail which only says this: «Name! Location! Phone Number!» and something else. No identifying info. Nada. I called again at 6:56. Nada.
I was able to get on my iPod after the first call and find another cab company (Larkspur). However, they didn’t get to my house in time to meet the shuttle (took ½ hour to get me). I wound up taking the cab directly to the airport. ($ 100 later — and I’m a nursing student).: (
Never have I been just straight up stranded. Never using them again, that’s for sure.

thank you, Unilocal.I had a last minute need to get into the city, and was escorted by a charming gentleman who was on time, and on charge. he even stood by his initial trip charge estimate, even tho the meter rate was higher at the end of the trip.

I have been commuting to Larkspur from San Francisco for the last week and for another month for a consulting gig. Getting from the ferry to work has been a nightmare with public transit, so I have been relying on taxis to get from Larkspur to Corte Madera. I could review most of the players in this area — but, I had a great ride with Alfons from A Marin Taxi (via Bubba’s Taxi — also recommended). He got me to the Larkspur ferry and I missed the boat by no more than 60 seconds. He felt badly about this and he drove me all the way to Sausalito so I did not have to wait over an hour for the next one (ferry is on reduced schedule due to breakdowns). He did all that for free! I def. will be using his service again — plus, the ride was just entertaining … he was cracking me up all the way. I bet he gives good tourist tours, etc.
