Dave’s Taxi Service

I’m leaving this review for the outstanding customer service I received.
I called for a pickup at Hampton Inn Evansville to the airport. Ride was on time (early, actually), and the 20 minute ride was spent in friendly conversation, fare was approx $ 24 not including tip.
The five stars come from the wonderful, personalized and thoughtful assistance by Terry (?) on the phone. After arriving at the airport, I realized that my (expensive, noise-​canceling) headphones and case must have fallen out of my bag in the cab. I called back as soon as I noticed (about 30 minutes after I’d been dropped off), and she said she would call the driver and check for me. When I called back about ten minutes later (I had an international number and couldn’t leave my own), she said the driver had already ended his shift and was no longer able to check the vehicle. She had me leave a forwarding address and asked when my flight was leaving, then said she would swing by the car at the end of her workday to check.
An hour later, while I was at the airport café waiting to go through the security gate, I was approached by Terry, who recognized my voice and asked my name and HAND DELIVERED my headphones. I was so floored, I absolutely had to write a review. She singlehandedly saved my sanity during my upcoming 13 hour flight to Japan.
Thank you!!!

They are batting 3 for 3 (hey, this is a baseball town right… I mean they had some guy name Don Mattingly grow up here and named a street after him) for me thus far. I used their service and all 3 times I was picked up on time or close enough to on time when they were busy. And I will add that they have yet to come up with an excuse not to do what taxis are intended to do like another taxi company in town. Glad that there is al least one company in town that can be relied upon to help those needing a lift regardless of the circumstances.

Called, told me 30 minutes. After 45 I called they said they waited and called me several times with no calls on my phone. The place we were at had several windows out front and had zero minivans pull up. I’m glad I waited 45 minutes to do my business with another place. The woman I spoke with was also very crass and rude. Do not use faves.

I forgot how pricey a cab ride can be! In the new age of Über & Lyft, I’d forgotten what it costs to use a cab. When I need a ride in Nashville I usually just Über. I didn’t realize that Über hasn’t made its way to Evansville yet.
We ordered a cab from Dave’s Taxi to take us out to a bar. The trip was from the La Quinta to SPE, about 6.1 miles. The fare was $ 15.40. We rounded to $ 20 bucks for tip & all. It’s $ 3 for pickup then 2 bucks each mile. This cab service is actually the cheapest in town, but it’s hard to go from paying 8 – 9 bucks for this kind of trip with Über to 16 bucks.
On a positive note, our cab driver was very friendly & didn’t drive like a maniac.
