Coast Cab

Solid company, always on time.

THE WORST EVER. One jerk tells you it’s $ 25 minimum + ride cost for 5 Mike trip. The next says it’s $ 15 minimum for same trip. The last trip was the WORST EVER. Less than 1 mile (.8 mi) was $ 25!!!
NEVER AGAIN!!!#
Where’s UBER when you need them!!!

Very happy with the taxi service last night! Lauren was punctual, friendly and professional. Will definitely be using her again and recommending her to friends!

Wanted a $ 20 minimum to give a disabled vet a 8 block ride. Will never call them again.

Wow! The service shouldn’t even have one star. I called in at 8 o’clock to get a cab at 8:30. she couldn’t understand me very well so I said I would text her the information on her company number. She said that’s fine so I texted her and she never replied and I called her again at 820 to confirm whether they’re coming or not then she said well that’s not my number. I said ok may I have your cell number so that I can text you my information then she said why don’t you call UBER. is this how you run the business? How the hell do I find a cab at last minute?

Andy is still a jerk! Don’t call!!!
We called Half Moon Bay @ 650−726−6565
It was extremely dependable and answers the phone unlike the other one!

The worst. I called on a Friday night at 8:00to get a ride from El Granada to Moss Beach. They were pretty busy and told me it would be an hour. Fair enough. I called back at 9:30 to inquire about my pickup and the clown on the phone told me that it would be another hour. No phone call, nothing except disregard for my time. I called über and they were there in 15 minutes. Thank god for über. Coast Cab is garbage.

This guy Andy is a total jerk. He wouldn’t come pick up our group in half moon bay. Refused to drive us for no reason. He would answer the phone and then ask us where we were going and then hang up without saying anything. RUDE!

Oof. If I could give him zero stars I would. He’s a nasty human, and I’m fairly certain he’s realized he lives a miserable life and has decided to take it out on anyone who gets in his car.
Don’t get in his car. He’ll most likely call your friend a b***c for saying ‘hi,’ and then decide not to drive you anywhere.
Gross. Gross. Also the car was kinda rancid. Kind of like a cesspool. Pretty sure there is a cooler of organs in his trunk.

Very dependable, and that’s important (and often rare) in a cab company! We have used this company twice, and both times they arrived a little early.
Drivers are friendly and professional. What a difference from another nearby company whose the car was shabby and reeked of cigarette smoke! We’ll definitely use Coast Cab again.

I called the night before to arrange a ride to SFO and they gave a very good fixed rate. They arrived on time and even brought a larger vehicle to make sure we would fit with our luggage. They gave us a confirmation call about two hours before and even gave a call as they were approaching the house. Very friendly driver. I’d be happy to go with Coast Cab again in the future.

I called ahead for ride from Half Moon Bay airport and they arrived right on time (even a few minutes early!). When I needed a ride back a few hours later I called and had great service yet again. Thank you Mike! I will definitely keep you on speed dial for the next time I need a ride.

I called coast cab tonight for a ride to my friend’s birthday party– as the usual local service was having car problems. We agreed upon a pickup time and location, and somehow the cab must have gotten lost– because he never showed up, and never followed up with a phone call either. All calls went straight to voice mail. Pretty disappointed right now.

I called initially to have them pick us up at Half Moon Bay Lodge at 5:30 for 6:00 reservations at Sam’s Chowder House. They did not answer at first but called me right back. I was a little leery after reading some of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised when the woman was pleasant and more than happy to accommodate our request. A few minutes later she called back to see if we could be picked up 15 minutes earlier so she could accommodate another customer. We were fine with the earlier pick up time and she was very grateful for that. A few hours later our plans had changed so I called her back to see if we could switch our time to 7:30 and our destination to The Ritz Carlton and she said not a problem. I reconfirmed the time and the pick up location with her before we hung up. We stood outside the lobby at The Lodge for 15 minutes. I called and left a message and called a second time a few minutes later and still no answer. She never called me back! If you can’t pick someone up, just tell them that. If something changes, common courtesy is to call the person and let them know. To not show up and not call is just plain ignorant and not a way to run a business. Never even called to apologize. I would NEVER call Coast Cab if you actually expect to get picked up and taken to your destination on time.

I called because i needed to get to the doctor’s and he got to where i was exactly when he said he was, also while i was there i took much longer than i thought i was going to take and he waited around for an hour. It wasn’t too expensive and he was really friendly and got me where i needed to go. I will call them again when i need to go somewhere.

We called these guys on NYE to pick us up from the wine shop downtown (where we were pre-​bubbling!) and deliver us to the Ritz for dinner reservations. I was kinda nervous about missing our reservations due to some of the previous reviewers, but I figured we’d give them a shot anyway. Not like there’s much to choose from in HMB…
Anyway, the cab arrived exactly on time and the driver came into the shop to fetch us. We got to dinner right on time and all was well with the world!

Called and made a reservation to take my son to SFO to catch an early flight home to Atlanta.
Cab never showed. I called the number again and it went to voice mail.
He missed his flight.
Coast Cab? Never again.

Ok experience NYE. Our motel called this service and gave us a card. Driver arrived in 10 mins like he said and delivered us safely to our restaurant. He did try to tell me to give him extra time when we were ready to go back to our motel.
Unfortunatley I think he forgot about us when I first called when we got our deserts. We ended up stuck at the restaurant at midnight, which turned out ok since we got a free glass of bubbly. He was probably super busy.
To his credit when we called again and he did finally get us (about an hour after my first call) he turned his meter off because he «felt bad» he left us hanging. I still should have tipped him, I’m sorry I didn’t. Seemed like he was having a bad night.
We likely will use them again if we are in the area and we both want to drink and we don’t want to try to find parking in downtown HMB. If he emails me, I’ll send him that tip.

After having an awful experience with a cab company from Pacifica, we tried Coast Cab of Half Moon Bay. We called dispatch and requested a ride in 30 minutes. Our cab arrived exactly 30 minutes later. The cabbie seemed like a surfer dude and he apologized for the ratty state of his ride. The sliding door to the van was broke, but we got to our destination quickly and on time. I would definitely call them again.

i actually had one of the best taxi experiences ever with this cab company. i had made a reservation with them a week in advance, and the cab came promptly at the expected time. i had arranged for a flat fare to the SFO airport area, but the fare ended up being less than the flat fare (especially since the taxi driver very kindly turned off the meter once we were in the SFO area, telling me it’d be unfair to keep charging me as the area required a round-​about route) so i paid less than expected.
it was after i had checked into my hotel and settled in a bit that i realized i had forgotten my cellphone in the taxi! a frantic call using the hotel phone got me to the taxi driver immediately, and he offered to come by the next morning to return my phone. crisis averted! i was very, very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.
