On Time Taxi

The taxi that was supposed to take me to the airport did not show up. Need I say more?

Big Doug came to pick me up this morning for a scheduled 4am taxi. He was 2min early and easy to talk to. While the music wasn’t my fav («you’re ready» «lick you up and down your body»), he gladly turned down the radio when I requested the volume be turned down. I would take this cab service again.

ordered a cab to come pick me up at 4. it is now 4:20. no cab in sight. who knows if it will ever come. conveniently, the operators have also disappeared so I can’t even get a status update! welp…

These jabronis either can’t tell time or have the IQ of a centipede. After telling me it would take 15 minutes for a cab, it didn’t show up. I called again and they said it would take another 15 min. Still no cab. It never even came. Had to call another cab to pick us up.
Do not use this service. They are a joke.

Great service from On Time Taxi! The driver picked me up right on time & got me to my destination in Durham. I called 45 minutes in advance to have time to do some shopping. I would use their services again.

30 minutes late, no apology, no phone call, reckless driving, car reeked of cigarettes.

After a meticulous reservation process and a weird text confirmation the taxi telephone number went straight to voicemail. As shady as that sounds the «team» and possible driver actually communicated by text message.
Overall not pleased. For the fare they charge from RDU you can get an actually on-​time (oh the irony) black car.

The only cab service I would take to go to the airport. The drivers would always arrive 10 – 15 minutes before the requested time.
$ 25 for RDU, cheapest there is if you go by yourself, cheaper even if you split a cab.
Only qualm is that some of the cars won’t take credit cards, but few taxis in Durham do.

Took this company to and from chapel hill and rdu last week. The most positive thing I can say is they did show up and get us both to the airport and again back home without incident. We had two different drivers and vehicles for both trips. Both vehicles were late model poorly maintained and smelled horrible. Both had company logos on them and both had «no smoking» on the windows. I only wish it applied to the driver as well. It was evident that both vehicles had been smoked it regularly and then tried to cover up with horrible air fresheners. Our driver for our return trip home, at midnight after 12 hours of air travel, was blaring heavy metal. Pleasant music to listen to after the day we had. Add that to the stench of cigarettes and cheap air freshener and you have one lovely cab ride. Wish we had über!

I’m somewhat conflicted as I write this review. On the one hand, it was a full party experience. On the other hand, it’s not the best impression when folks on the street think you were smoking up on the ride to the bars…
J called a few cabs to take us in to Chapel Hill from Alta Springs. This one was the first to call back and take the job. When we got in the first time, we noticed a polar bear hanging from the dash and a plexiglass cube that would light up. We thought that was fun, and got our driver’s card for later. He presented his card in a shiny business card holder, making sure that we remembered him for later.
And we did. Flash forward 10 hours, and we were ready to head back into town for a night of fun on Franklin Street. We called our friend Sam. Riding in his cab after dark is a completely different experience. He turns on the lights, meaning the sunshields in the front, the steering wheel, the plexiglass cube, and more. Then he turns on the smoke machine, while making sure that the radio is blasting the latest dance hits. And if that’s not enough, he’s got a light up grill in his mouth. This is a party van taxi if there ever was one.
It was all fun and games until he let us out at Pantana Bob’s, and all the smoke poured out. The looks on the faces of the far-​from-​sober patrons on the side walk were quite amusing. This time his card came in a business card holder that was shiny and had a dragon image on it.
Most interesting cab ride ever.

I use this taxi service whenever I go to and from Duke to the RDU airport. They charge a flat $ 25, which is probably and unfortunately the lowest price you can get among the different nearby taxi services to get to RDU.
Good thing is they have always been on time when I tell them I wish to leave from so and so location at _​_​_​_​_​time.
When you ask them to pick you up from RDU, they won’t actually be there waiting for you, you’ll schedule it, then when you land, you give them another call and then they will make their way over, supposedly because they can’t waste time on delayed flights. I found this annoying, and therefore I usually take the Taxi’s waiting on the curb to get back to duke, which ends up being around $ 36 usually.
The cars and drivers are quite informal, drivers in casual clothing, cars are usually old toyota siennas. But you get what you pay for.
For non RDU destination trips, they don’t use a meter or anything, so make sure you ask how much it will cost before agreeing to the trip.

Dreadful service. The only good thing about this is that the cab was (surprisingly) on time. I was severely overcharged for a trip that was less than 3 miles within the Durham city limits. The cab driver called me to get directions to my house, making me feel very nervous about whether he’d actually get here or not. There’s no meter in the cabs, so you don’t know how much you’re being charged. Beware the $ 2 credit card fee.
