    Called for a cab, waited nearly an hour and a half before calling again to see where it is. I called 5 times and was forwarded to voicemail, the 6th time someone answered, yelled something I couldn’t understand and hung up, then they finally answered on the 10th call back. Just use Uber.

    I catch their cabs to and from work daily every day 5 days a week which have gone up multiple times. I have gotten in trouble with my job several times when I call to get my cab and they said they will be 20 to 25 minutes, but it took them over an hour. It's a terrible service and terrible drivers so why don't the city of Alton Illinois get better ones and dispose of them!

    I've been utilizing their services for well over a month, dispatcher is easy to communicate with, rates are reasonable, they are very responsive, drivers are kind and courteous. I'd recommend them.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. I called this company over an hour in advance for a cab after being 15 minutes late I called for an ETA and was told they didn't know what time they would be coming. Then stopped taking my calls I had to cancel my appointment. This is by far the worst cab company ever!

    If I can say one thing about this cab company the drivers are friendly. But, you have to wait 40 minutes to 2 hours for a cab. It's beyond ridiculous!! I've been late to work several times using this cab company. Today I called and I waited 50 minutes for a cab my interview was at one and I just lost a wonderful job opportunity. Is Alton really that big?? Are they really getting that many people that you have to wait so long for a cab.

    Their service is bad because they don't answer calls. They keep anything you accidentally leave in the cab too.tell you to call them back and put the phone to a full voicemail.

    People are right, they are a bit slow, but I don't know what you expect when you don't have proper transportation, plan ahead, other than the slow wait times, it's a pretty decent taxi service.

    I'm at your house hard to get ahold of anybody to dispatch a cab to my location and that's only if they answer

    Friendly service. Sometimes takes a few calls to get the dispatcher on the phone though. Otherwise no complaints.

  • 5/5 Celeste C. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been using this taxi service for several months. I have never had and issue. I just learned try and call an half hour, or one hour ahead. They are all very nice.

  • 1/5 Courtney P. 1 year ago on Google
    They never answer the phone when I call. And then the few times that I have been able to reach them, they were late or didn't show and they are expensive. (Before gas went up)
