Surf Cab

While our driver was very nice, the cab was filthy. It smelled of cigarettes and stale leather, almost felt like the cab would fall apart should we hit a bump in the road. Upside was Dan was the only driver to pick us up in Morro Bay, there were no Ubers available and he did allow us to play Pandora over his speaker system.

7.5 miles cost me $ 34 tip included, that’s expensive. The driver was fine, he was nice, it’s just the meter was already at $ 4 when I got in, and I kept watching that price climb as we drove back. I’m definitely not doing that again

DO NOT RECOMMEND, especially if you are a female (for your own safety.)
Dan is a sexist pervert. He talked about his penis for the majority of the car ride. He also discussed his desire to «f**k a college girl so hard her eyeballs pop out.» And on top of all this, he took an indirect route to the airport, therefore jacking up the cost of the ride.
And his car smells like cigarette smoke. If that sort of thing bothers you. (It bothers me)

Fare wasn’t bad, but it smelled like he just smoked a pack of cigarettes. And he also got annoyed that we wanted to pay by credit card. Just an uncomfortable experience all over.

These people saved me when I had my car towed unexpectedly (and not very nicely) while I was at work — and had my wallet stuck in my car. I was treated with nothing but respect and kindness. Michael my driver was so kind — not just polite — but going out of his way kind in a time that was somewhat stressful for me. I would store their number in your phone if you live in SLO.

Bizarre experience with calling to make a reservation…
I called to make a reservation a few days in advance, gave them my address & the time and we seemed good to go. He said they would be there at the time I specified.
Then, just so I could have cash prepared, I asked «do you have a fare estimate to get to the SLO Amtrak station?»
He starts off by throwing out an estimate, but then all of the sudden he says he appreciates my concern, but that I should try calling SLO yellow cab because the fare is cheaper for them. He didn’t even give me a chance to accept his estimate (it was cheap enough for me).
It kind of threw me so I was like «um… ok? So… no reservation?» but then he keeps telling me I should try calling SLO yellow cab (which I would rather not take cause I’ve heard rather horrible things about them).
But he made me feel like maybe they wouldn’t get enough money from picking me up or something? Like the few miles I needed to get driven weren’t worth their time /​service? So I just gave up and I guess I’m going with Über.

Called for a fare estimate and was treated really rudely. Nevermind!
This is the perfect example of why cab companies need to pull their head out and provide better service. It should be a considered a reasonable request to get an accurate fare and wait time estimate instead of being treated like I’m an annoyance for requesting this information in advance.
This is standard information that every customer should have a right to know. I’d rather pay a few extra dollars to a company like Über (even though they have their issues as well) for an up front fare and arrival time estimate, as well as MUCH faster service.

Driver Dan is My Favorite Driver in All Of SLO!
Super Cool Guy!
I call him to drive me to doctor’s appt’s and such.
Or just when I need a driver for errands.
Or when I start exploring and run out of energy and can’t make it back home!
Hey, you’ll get there some day!
Always laid back yet very responsible and 100% sober and sane.
He NEVER drinks and drives.
I’d trust him to take care of any situation that arises.
Parents:
Including trusting him with your College teens, if they need to get picked up Dan can get the job done discreetly. Keep this number.
Treat him with respect and tip him well, he deserves it.
Dan, He’s your man.

Timely. Friendly. Efficient. Great cab company. Dan is our favorite. When we do our getaway weekends in SLO, we don’t even bother with the other cab companies.
