Fox River Taxi

Called for pick up on Saturday night and was told 20 mins. he said he would call when near. 1.05 am on freezing night, waited and no call. called him after 25 mins and was told 1 minute nearly there. nothing for another 15 mins. called him back got voicemail and then he did not pick up. did not call me.
complete no show. totally unprofessional.

I just called Fox River Taxi to inquire about getting a cab from Batavia to Two Brothers Roundhouse and the person who answered the phone «didn’t know» if this was possible. He said it was his first day and he didn’t know anything about where the cabs could go, and couldn’t direct me to anyone that did. I told him I would be calling another company. Really?

Carpooled with friends to Rendez Vu in Batavia. When it was time to leave around 1 we asked the bar to call us a cab. The cab showed up quickly which was great but we would pay for that convenience.
The only way I can describe the experience was SHADY. Some scruffy dude who I vaguely remember trying to avoid talking to and him saying some off color things.
The guy doesn’t start the meter and tells us once we arrive it costs $ 20 from Batavia to North Aurora, which is barely 3 miles and not even 10 minutes.
Feeling too right to make a big deal about it we paid and were glad to be done with him.
Based on other reviews maybe the service during the day is better, but after the sun sets I would avoid them at all costs.
ESPECIALLY if you are a lone female, dude was a creeper.

My first real experience calling a cab today was the best! They arrived on time & friendly. Took me straight to my destination at a great rate considering the recent hike in gas prices. Great Service!

I was at my favorite local watering hole and really lazy… it was a day off for me, after all. I asked Kim, the bartender to call me a cab after I was finished eating and having a few afternoon beers. I was walking distance from this place, but it was 50 degrees and I’m from Florida. Not interested in putting up with the cold. Especially since I was wearing sandals.
Kim called the cab and said to me afterwards — «I’ve never had a cab company be so polite.» We laughed, but I thought nothing of it.
Almost to the minute of the estimate, the cab pulls up. A pleasant young guy pulls up and takes my directions home.
I have spent a lot of time in the loop grabbing cabs. I’m annoyed by several things about cabs. Here are the ones that I can’t stand.
1. The guy that barely speaks English and spends his entire time in the cab on his blue tooth.
2. The reformed alcoholic that wants to tell me about Bill W incessantly. God bless, you sir. I’m glad you are taking control of your life. But stop with the incessant chatter.
3. The guy that lives alone, isn’t married, plays Dungeons and Dragons online from 1am to 5 am, sleeps from 6 am to noon, and drives cabs during the day.
4. Bill Murray from Stripes, who just finished a whole bottle of cough syrup. He’s dropping me off and then speeding home to his 1980s wife to watch Rocky and Bullwinkle and do ten pushups with Eagan from Ghostbusters.
5. Another horrible experience is the cab company that is «too busy» to come get you. ETA, 10 minutes. At 30 minutes, you’re waiting outside the bar/​restaurant, no cab. You’ve been mugged. You can’t pay the cab when he/​she shows up. Not good.
Fox River Taxi is the first cab company that has none of these hang ups. A young man picked me up, on time, cab immaculately clean, gps on the window in the event that I know the name of where I’m going, but not the exact address; didn’t annoy me with incessantly conversation, but was attentive. Good company. Check them out if you have the chance.
