Yellow Cab

Excellent, reliable service, nice driver, clean cab, highly recommended! I called to schedule the night before for a trip to the train station and the taxi arrived promptly in the morning (a few min early). I just moved here from NYC and there are very few reviews but I am completely happy with my experience with Yellow Cab.

Yeah straight up just don’t call these people. After several promises that they would arrive on time given that I had a bus to catch they just plain didn’t come. Then called 25 minutes after my reservation to ask if I still needed a ride. I don’t understand how businesses like this can exist in this day and age but hopefully this style of review helps to weed out the weak.

This cab service is the pits. I got off an Amtrack train late one night from visiting my brother who was sick in a hospital in New-​York. Although I only lived about ten minutes away, I did not want to walk because it was very late at night. So I asked the driver to take me. He told me it was to short of a trip for him, not enough money. I then went to a different cab driver from a different company and all he said to me was, get in miss. I was so happy i paid him more than it cost. Don’t need yellow cab.

Ugh. First, they said they’d arrive in 25 minutes. Two phone calls, several lies, and 50 minutes later, they finally arrive. On the call, I requested a car that accepted credit card and was told that would be no problem. Upon entry in the ill-​arrived car, the cab driver insisted he didn’t accept credit card… fine, bluff accepted. As we finally approached our destination, I asked to stop by an ATM. To that request, the driver magically had the ability to accept card. Utter garbage…

How often does someone need to call a cab in Wilmington? Not often. I’ve lived in this town 11 years, and today was the first time I needed a ride where the bus /​my bike wouldn’t take me. (My beau had our car today.)
A quick google search yielded the company that owns/​operates those yellow cabs with «SCAT» printed on the side. Their website told me what I needed, so I gave them a shout. A very friendly, efficient woman with a fabulous smoker’s voice answered the phone and said «Gimme 20 minutes, hon.»
15 minutes later a cab pulled into my driveway into my hard-​to-​find neighborhood, and the dude was friendly and got me where I needed to go.
A ride from extreeeeme north Wilmington to the Riverfront cost about $ 25, which is a bit spendy, but I got there safe, happy, and having a chipper conversation with a cool dude.
No complaints from me; you can feel good about using these folks.
