Are You Ready Taxi-Cab

This cab company sucks. I called for a cab to go pick up my son from school and he said 30 minutes. Really That’s Ridiculous first of all. Never was I told to wait that long all the years I’ve had to call for a cab. I wouldn’t have made it on time to pick up my 5 year old boy. So I walked 2 miles to get him. But before I got to his school I called them again because I knew I was going to have to wait. They again said 30 minutes. It was cool cause I’m still making my way to my boy school. Picked him up and 30 minutes went by and no cab so I called again he said ok I think he is 5 minutes out so I said ok we will continue to wait. So now my boy and I have hit the 1 hour mark and still no sign of a cab. My son is crying and really cold and hungry. What kids do when they run out of patients. So now it’s going on 1 hour and 30 minutes. I’m pissed off now. Because I got a 5 yr old boy that wants to get home and it’s getting cold and we both got no jackets on because it’s Redwood city during the day it’s hot. Didn’t expect to be waiting at his school till 6:30p.m. I called them back and I’m asking please send us a cab I’m the same guy that’s been calling for a cab to Roosevelt Elementary school. I then said what the heck is going on and the guy hangs up on me. I called back 15 times and all went to voice mail. This is what I want to know. What kind of company does that. Especially when it’s also for a 5 yr old boy. Never again will I and all my friends and family call this cab company again ever. You guys really suck at what you do as cab drivers. That guy should be fired for what he did. Shitty @$$ company needs to be shut down for good. Very disappointed and angry.

A friend was given the run around for pick up time by another service provider. They said they were going to be 30 minutes late. I cancelled the other service and looked for another taxi service to go from Kaiser Hospital to El Camino Hospital. Found this company on Unilocal,gave them a call. The person answering said 5 minute arrival time. He was on time and arrived in a big sedan and was able to fit the wheel chair in the back of his trunk as promised. Great service for on time pick. The cost was approximately $ 40. Would use this service again next time.

I used this company to drive me from my car dealer to my home. This is second taxi company in Redwood City that I have used. They picked me up exactly in the time they said they would. The driver was friendly and the cab was clean.

Breakdown: Need a lift? This taxi service will take you to any destination, even China! Okay, maybe not China. But it’ll take you to P.F. Chang’s China Bistro in Palo Alto.
The service: I needed to pick up a car at an auto shop. I called AYRTC and Jesus picked up. It took about 10 minutes for him to get to my place. I’ve had bad experiences with other companies where they took 30 minutes or longer to get me. No bueno. So, it surprised me that Jesus was able to pick me up that fast. I was even more surprised that he actually drove to the place without taking weird, out-​of-​the way streets. You know, some taxi drivers will drive slow, take longer routes, and just B.S. you so they can grab more money from you. But man, Jesus didn’t do that and I was really happy with that.
Prices: It varies.
The vehicle: I was in a van when I got picked up. It wasn’t the cleanest, but hey, I didn’t leave with a stain on my t-​shirt or anything. Besides, it’s a taxi. When are taxis clean? I’d imagine a taxi being clean only if someone got murdered in the backseat and they had to hide all evidence of the crime scene.
Verdict: I would definitely use them again.

This 5 star review is for an honest driver, Pablo. My daughter left her wallet in the cab. We called the next day and Pablo was very nice to return it fully intact.
An honest man!
Thanks Pablo…

Everything was great! I’ve requested a taxi to airport via email and received email confirmation in 10 min. Taxi came on time. Clean and big car. Jesus was helpful with my luggage and was very pleasant and polite.
When I come back to SF will definitely use this taxi again.

I have used Jesus several times over the past three weeks and have been very impressed by his high level of service. I have had experiences in the past where I have been told I will be picked up in 10 – 15 minutes and end up waiting… and waiting… and waiting. This is NOT the case with this company. Jesus is honest and prompt and very fast to respond. Also, if he is unavailable, he has several other drivers who he holds to his same standard and I have had good experiences with everyone he has sent in his place.
His care is clean and roomy and he is very polite and friendly and has been really fun to chit-​chat with during my rides.
As Charles previously mentioned, Jesus makes it very easy by storing your phone number and information for future rides so all you have to do is send a text.

This company failed me this morning. Yes, the Friday before Christmas is possibly the worst day of the year to realize that your cab isn’t coming to get you.
It’s a simple business: I call, book a reservation and they come get me. I don’t care if the car is old or the driver is dangerous… all I care about is getting picked up on time. Are You Ready didn’t pull that off. This is a commodity business, no one can afford to wonder if their ride will or will not show up.
Call someone else.

Absolutely awesome airport service. Jesus is a great, friendly, polite driver. The rates are very reasonable too.
After my first booking, Jesus saved my phone number in his cell phone, so now all I have to do is text him my flight details and he will text me right back confirming. I wish all taxi cabs worked this way!

Last week my boyfriend, a friend and I were looking for a last minute ride to the San Francisco airport and we came across this company, Are You Ready Taxi Cabs, and called them to find out they have flat rates to and from the airport. $ 30 from Foster City to SFO. Great price because other companies charge up the wa-​zoo for rides these days… So we called and requested for service 2 days prior, and the night before, they called to confirm our address, time for pick up and also to clarify what time our flight left to ensure we had ample time to get there and make our flight. The driver, Jesus was right on time, waiting for us downstairs at the door, helped us with our bags and was very polite and professional.
He made conversation with us on the ride over, asking where we were going and offered us his business card letting us know that we can call him anytime if we needed a ride back from the airport and told us even if it was in the middle of the night, he’d be there.
We were gone for a week and weren’t able to secure a ride home because we landed at 9:00 am and all of our family members and friends were at work. We called him the second we landed and asked if he was available; he definitely remembered us and it seemed like he dropped whatever he was doing to be there for us. After gathering our bags and arriving on the pick up deck, he was there waiting. Talk about punctual! It was the same price going home and he was kind enough to help us with our bags and everything.
Definitely call this guy if you are in need of a ride anywhere in the peninsula.
Great Service! 5 Stars!
