Lindy’s Taxi

Lindys taxi is a great service for getting around Montauk. Lou drove us last night and was extremely friendly and helpful. We were a big party and they were able to accommodate us with a van.

Scheduled a cab (without checking Unilocal). They confirmed it would be at my location in 15min. Cab never came. I tried calling several times to ask where/​if they were coming but no one picked up. Yea it was super fun to wait around in the middle of the night for 40+min for a cab that never showed up. A dif. cab company finally picked me up. I don’t even know how Lindy’s stays in business.

I wish I could give them 0 stars. I was hit by one of their drivers going over the speed limit on the wrong side of the road. My car is totaled and the police report clearly states the cab was at fault. Both the driver and the cab company have been rude and disrespectful and have refused to provide any insurance information or help in any way. Horrible horrible people.

This company has a deal with the LIRR. As part of the one-​day beach getaway package, which includes discounted round-​trip train tickets, Lindy’s is supposed to take you from the Montauk station to the center of town for a $ 5 voucher. On Labor Day, I found out that the voucher is worth only $ 5 toward the total fare of $ 9 — for a 3-​minute ride! I contacted the LIRR also about this matter. Be forewarned!

Just was tailgated for five miles by one of their vans while in rt 27 gridlock traffic. Then when I was able to move over, she sped past me and tailgated the next guy. Then another van appeared and they both got dangerously aggressive darting in and out of the two lanes. If I see these losers again, someone had better hold me back.

Don’t use Lindy’s Taxi. They are an absolute rip off. I asked how much a taxi would cost from East Hampton to Splish Splash in Riverhead and they said around $ 240 from East Hampton. That is insane, that should be the price for Manhattan in New York City. I have a house about a mile from the East Hampton Jitney stop and that is $ 12. These price are more than a New York Yellow Cab!

Scheduled a cab, they called about 30 minutes late (after I called several times unsuccessfully to cancel it). They called later, i assume because they were here, but I missed the calls. The next morning I found my car vandalized. This is an unprofessional company, and I would not suggest using their services.

I’ve taken Lindy’s in other parts of Long Island but I’ve never dealt with a more rude, uncompromising and inconsistent dispatcher in my life. I called an hour early to get a cab but was denied because I called too early and she recommended I call 30 minutes before my train was to arrive and when I called back (ten minutes earlier then she told me to), she told me that it would be impossible to send a driver to where I was (which was literally less then three minutes away from my destination.
Unfortunately, Lindy’s is the only cab company that has fairly decent drivers that aren’t rude and their rates are ok compared to the rest of the taxi companies in this town.
Just call an hour prior for your taxi regardless of what the grouch says. YOU’RE PAYING FOR THE SERVICE!

They ripped us off, the driver took 15 minutes to arrive and drove insanely fast when we got in the cab… Wtf?! The worst ride ever… End of story.

$ 20 per head for a 15 minute cab ride.
I understand that the townies hate all the seasonal tourists invading the Hamptons in the summertime but they’re seriously grumbling all the way to the bank.

Yuk. The «Stinky Taxi». Waiting by the train, to take us into Montauk was a man who hadn’t showered in awhile.
Or maybe my nose is too sensitive.
Driving a filthy taxi.
Or maybe my nose is too sensitive.
Nah. My nose is just fine. This taxi was STINKY.
