Scotty’s Taxi Service

Straight to the point and prompt

Called for a pickup at JFK for my 78 year-​old mother-​in-​law, and 3 other travelers. Asked for a van (lots of luggage) and a «meet and greet» pickup. Agreed on a price and thought it was done. When they cleared customs and had their baggage, there was no car or driver waiting. Called Scotty’s and was told «he was parking…» 10 minutes later, still no driver. Another call to Scotty’s… «He’s on his way, where are your travelers?» «They are in baggage claim waiting,» I said. 10 minutes later — same discussion, no driver. Finally, after 40 minutes, 4 calls to Scotty’s, the driver found them. As they are driving out of the airport, the dispatcher says over the radio, «Did you pick up those F##### people yet?» The driver switched off the radio, and they eventually arrived. The dispatcher has some personal issues and should get a job that doesn’t require customer contact. Never will use them again. Recently tried GW Taxi, and the slight extra cost is worth the service.

Scottie’s is probably the best cab service in the area. Their prices and fare is pretty reasonable and the drivers are nice as well.

picked me up within 5 minutes of me calling… driver knew the back roads… from Ft lee to Teaneck road trip cost $ 24 plus tip. driver courteous. I would use Scotty’s again

I wish I can give this cab service NEGATIVE 1 star. Second time in a row, they prove to be absolute disgrace! Few months ago, I ordered a cab to have my mother driven to Queens. Operator told me two minutes, my mother waited outside for 30 minutes, no one arrived. Meanwhile, when I was calling them, I was being told «two seconds the driver is around the corner». Last night, my husband ordered a cab for my father in law. They called us and said to come out that the driver is two minutes away. THE CAB NEVER ARRIVED!!! I will make sure to call BBB and file a complaint. This cab service should not be in business!!! Unprofessional, disgusting business.

I guess I’m the only one with bad luck when it comes to Scotty’s, if I could give him a negative 1 star I gladly would.
I called this guy today 12−28−13 at 16:00 or 4pm, I told him what I needed we even agreed to a price, then he asked me what time I needed a ride, I said 6:30pm then he says: let me have your number and if I have any problems I’ll call you! I was like wtf? What kind of taxi driver says that? Anyhow, at 5:28 he calls me and says hey it’s Scotty my driver is outside waiting! I was kinda not knowing what to say, he came by over an hour earlier, so of course the Scotty guy wasn’t happy about me saying no, then he said, I’m not sure that I’m gonna have any other driver in your area to pick u up, without allowing me to say a word he hung up the phone. Then 6:30 came (as I expected) no one showed up no phone calls were given! I’m glad I didn’t use his lame ass service, and I never will, I would walk in the blizzard but not use this arrogant dude. I’m glad a found a company by the name of BBang BBang limo service he’s out of palisades park, nice car (limo) super comfy and clean plus very affordable prices. I paid $ 10 bucks to go where I had asked Scotty previously when he said it would cost me 12.50.
Anyway I had a bad experience with that company and wouldn’t recommend him to anyone I know.

Scottie’s is by far the best cab service in the area. I have been using it for as long as can remember. They usually arrive to where you are relatively quick and the prices are cheap and fare. The drivers in general are also very nice, I never had a problem with any of them. They know the whole area very well so you can get to your destination quickly! The best part? they have an easy phone number to remember! I highly suggest this cab company!

I have been using them for over 10 years. They show up pretty quickly (sometimes you’ll get a fool who gets lost) and are by far the cheapest in the area. However, there are quite a few sketch balls that drive for Scottys. You will either be laughing your ass off, or a little worried about if you will make it home or not. Eitherway, they’re worth a shot to try… they’ve been around for about 90 yrs for a reason.
They take cards now — $ 20 min.

Just got a ride to LA Guardia Airport by Tony. Great driver, courteous and enjoyed some good conversation. Definitely my first choice for airport transportation in the future.
