The guy that answered the phone was all business --took my info, quoted a price, fit me in the schedule, and confirmed via text after the call. I was very happy! I've never used a shuttle service before and was traveling with my kids, so I was nervous. I also got a confirmation text the next morning, which put me at ease. The driver showed up on time, and was very nice! We chatted the whole way to the airport, I felt very comfortable, and we got there right on time. A good way to start my trip! I would not hesitate to use them again if I need another shuttle sometime.

This is the worst taxi service I've used in my life! When booking, the man who answered the phone…read moredid not even ask for my name. There was no confirmation message or follow-up communication. I booked a ride for a specific time, and the driver did not show up. When I called the number given to me, after waiting quite some time, I was told the driver was on their way. The driver was more than 15 minutes late after I called. The car was filled with trash. That driver said I was supposed to have another driver, but that person overslept and could not pick me up. As a result, I was late getting to the airport and missed my flight -- I had to book another flight that cost me a lot of money! Paying was shady, too, because you had to give out your card number by phone and not thru a machine. I do not recommend using this service.

Don't bother if you can get another service.

Waste of time. Called City Taxi and much nicer and prompter response.

They were on time and waiting outside without me having to call and confirm. The driver was very nice and professional. Will certainly use them again next time I'm in Columbia.

I ordered a taxi on October 27, 2006. The dispatcher told me, very confidently, "We'll call you…read morewhen it's on the way." I said, "Okay." I am still saying, "Okay." I have not moved from the curb since that day. It is now 2025. I no longer remember where I was going. Probably something important. A wedding, maybe. Possibly my own. I have not showered. I have not changed clothes. The weather has changed around me 6,873 times. One winter, a squirrel made a home in my left shoe. I let him. His name was Todd. We don't talk anymore. My wife left me in 2009. She said I was emotionally unavailable and also physically unavailable, because I had not come home in three years. I told her I was waiting on a ride. She said "you always say that." I do not remember ever saying that before. At some point in 2013, I was attacked by a roaming pack of feral dogs. I called the taxi company again while bleeding. They told me the ride was still "in the system." That was comforting. In 2017, someone offered me a Lyft. I declined. I am loyal. I believe in commitment. Also, I was still on hold with dispatch. Every year, on the anniversary of the call, I leave a voicemail just to check in. I keep it brief: "Still here. Curb looks good. Hope all is well." In 2021, a child born after my original call asked if I was an art installation. I said no. She gave me a granola bar and walked away without breaking eye contact. It is now August 3, 2025. I am hopeful. Any minute now. Any. Minute. Now.

As far as taxis in Columbia go, I don't usually use them.

Both times they were fast and professional. When I was needing a ride home I had to call the number twice (I assume there was an increased number of people calling), but they arrived very quickly to pick me and my friends up. I'll use them again in the future.

However, no one knew where I was going on the campus (and either did I) so that was interesting. I think in a town where the majority of residents will need to go to campus, the local taxi service should know their way around it. Even giving street names didn't help! It was rather expensive, too. But both of my drivers were nice and friendly. Maybe if you're not going anywhere on campus it's more successful.
