Cab companies, in general, are hard to rate. You love them for getting you home from the bar when you’ve had a few too many drinks. But you also hate them when drivers show up late or don’t know how to get around Dallas (despite the fact you patiently gave them directions).
Taxi cab drivers are a lot like Forrest Gump’s views on a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. Some drivers are friendly and prompt. Others take the longer route to rack up more miles (and meter fare) or claim they are out of credit card slips in an effort to make you pay cash.
Everyone’s had their fair share of taxi horror stories, but Yellow Cab Dallas is generally pretty reliable. Their advance scheduling service (via the phone or Internet) is also a popular way to guarantee that your ride will be ready and waiting when you need it.
For example, if you know you have to be somewhere at 7pm, either use the online reservation system (https://www.ridecharge.com/s/tx-dallas-ft-worth/taxi/branded/dallas_yellow) or call earlier in the day. Schedule a pickup at 6:30pm and nine times out of ten the cab will be sitting right there waiting for you (and sometimes a little early, too!)
Yellow Cab Dallas is great for quick trips within the metroplex and a safe ride home after a night out. Rides from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to downtown Dallas or Fort Worth can get expensive, however, and a ride share van is often a more economical option.
Fares to downtown Dallas or Fort Worth from DFW are $43.60. Fares to downtown Dallas from Love Field are $18. These are flat rates set by the city of Dallas, although additional charges for extra passengers and tolls may apply.
Yellow Cab Dallas accepts major credit cards and cash for payment. However, some customers have complained about the occasional driving claiming to be out of credit card slips in order to force a cash payment. While this is rare, a quick call to the Yellow Cab Dallas dispatch office typically fixes the problem, and the driver suddenly ‘finds’ more credit card slips.
Yellow Cab Dallas offers taxi service to Dallas, Fort Worth and other major Metroplex cities including Plano, Irving, Arlington, Coppell and Grapevine. Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
To arrange a Yellow Cab ride, call (214) 426-6262 from Dallas or (817) 426-6262 from Fort Worth.
