They are reliable and on-time for taking me to the airport . Drivers are friendly. I would recommend to others.

Rohit picked us up for a delightful ride to SFO. He jumped on getting our luggage to the taxi then drove us there with interesting conversation. So much so that we asked him to pick us up. That worked out as well. Our prior experiences doing so did not. He's driving a late model Caddy that replaced Allied's limousines. They were getting old so it seems Allied is here to stay and doing a great job. We will continue to use them for all our trips to the airport and when we need a taxi around town. Prices seem very competitive with Uber. Ask for Rohit. He's a +1. read more

I called just to get a cab from San Bruno to the airport and the guy just said no no sir and hang up on the phone on me. Bad service.

Mr. Sameer has been my driver of choice for a few years. He is courteous in an Old World way and this makes it very comfortable for me to be a passenger. He's completely reliable, always on time, and goes above and beyond if I need help with something such as stopping at a store en rout to my destination. He's a good natured person, too. His cab is very comfortable--the best I've ever ridden in and it's always spotless. I can't recommend him more highly. ​ read more

Always on time. Even outside waiting most of the time. Nice folks driving. Help with luggage when going to airport. Large cars. Sometimes a Lincoln Towncar, limo, is there. read more

Worst experience ever! Had to wait over an hour and when finally got a cab the car reeked of cigarette

This is my go-to Cab Company around SFO when I'm commuting in the peninsula. I've used them 4 times now, and will continue to do so. I hate to use the SF cabs at the airport because they complain to you if it's not a huge fare to the city. Well, unfortunately, passengers gotta go to where we gotta go. By calling a non SF taxi,you can also avoid the $2 airport surcharge. I always forget the rates by the time I get home and think to write a review, but.. I think rates are about par...$3.50 for a meter drop, and about $3-3.50/ mile. Dial-ahead for scheduled pick-ups are right on time with-in a few minutes. The drivers have all been friendly. Granted, I always tip a few bucks, but not $5 for a $15 ride, when I don't use the 10% off coupon. I asked for a buck back. Only problem was one guy didn't have "change" for my $20. Actually he did, he gave me a handful of coins, said it was about a buck... wish he just had a green washington. But extra points for being able to do a 1am pick-up from SFO, with minimal wait time. read more

Allied Cab came through for me in a bit of an emergency. My son had his car towed while at work and of course his battery on his phone was dead so he couldn't call an Uber or a Cab to take him to the tow company. He works 2.5 hours away from home. Trying to arrange a ride for him without having phone contact was ridiculous. Allied Cab driver Jack texted me when he got to my son's location and even called me to let me know my son was in the cab. Sure helped alleviate a stressful situation by working with such a pleasant and reliable company. Thanks!! read more

Cabbing it to the airport has never been so easy! Was NOT looking forward to walking to the Caltrain station with my suitcase, transferring to BART, taking BART to San Bruno, then transferring to the right train that takes you to SFO. Seems like a lot of work for someone who only lives about 10 miles away! And at the end of the day it would have cost something like $10 to do so. Allied Cab was a $15 flat rate from my house in Burlingame to the airport. The driver arrived early and got me there in no time flat. Totally worth the extra few bucks (don't forget to tip). Will definitely use them again when traveling via SFO! read more

I've been meaning to do this forever, so while I'm on Yelp, I might as well, give a shout out to the guys at ALLIED YELLOW CAB. You guys are always prompt and nice. Plus, you are very reasonably priced. That's why I've been using them for three years and still going to... Thanks Allied! read more

I was a little hesitant to schedule a early-morning cab from Burlingame to SFO. For some reason, I don't trust cabs to arrive as scheduled and I knew that I wouldn't be able to hail one outside my door (ah, how I miss the City). But, Allied was there promptly at 5:30a.m. with the trunk open ready for our luggage. The trip ran just over $12 and our driver was quite nice for that early in the morning. They're saved in my cell phone now! read more

I am a huge fan of Yellow Allied Taxi and have been using them since 2000. They are very prompt and flexible which is important for any business traveler. Our favorite driver is Teddy; he has become like family to me and our kids. Very Courteous, always helpful and fun when needed. ;-) read more

I've heard that some cab drivers don't like taking people between SFO and Burlingame (something about it being too short a trip for the fee they have to pay to exit the airport?), but I've never had any trouble calling this company for a ride from our house to SFO. They're always on time, and the drivers are just fine: courteous, safe, reliable. read more

Absolute worst customer service EVER. I told them the name of the cafe to pick up my friend, who was going to the airport, and they asked for the exact address (although they should have been able to search on the name) so I gave them the address listed on google maps. When we didn't see the cab at the specified time, I called back, and having found out that the street was listed incorrectly on google maps, I updated the address. The woman said it would be 5 more minutes but that the driver was nearby. 10 minutes later, I called back and asked where the cab was (so I could try to give directions if that would be helpful) and instead of answering me, the man asked me what address I gave them, and wasn't that address wrong, yada yada. Pointing out my mistake was not going to help the cab get there any faster, but perhaps answering my question would have! I repeated my question, he again refused to answer, and HUNG UP ON ME after saying it would be there "soon". Luckily, we spotted a cab from another company driving by, and my friend made her flight. ALLIED NEVER AGAIN. EVER. Do yourself a favor and choose another cab company! read more

I had a 7am flight out of SFO, and rather than taking the 4 trains from my home in Burlingame I opted for a cab. Yes, it really is 4 trains: Caltrain from Bgame Ave to Millbrae, BART from Millbrae to San Bruno, then BART again from San Bruno to SFO, the AirTrain to get to the terminals. I'm glad there's a public transportation option, but it is seriously craziness!! Anyway, the positive reviews led to me Allied, and I'm glad I went with them. I called the night before to make the reservation for 5:30am (ouch!) and the driver arrived at 5:25. I got a text and phone call from dispatch to let me know he was outside. Helpful when I can't see the street from my apartment. Two freeway stops later, he dropped me off at the airport for $20 (including tip). Cars were a bit old, but it was clean and he got me there in one piece. No complaints, I'll use them again next time I don't want to take 4 trains to go less than 5 miles! read more

Called for a taxi, the woman on the phone was nice. Told her I wanted a taxi ASAP, she quoted me ten minutes. It took him 15 to get there, but I didn't really care, just give me a more realistic quote next time. He didn't speak much, but drove safely and helped me with my bag. It costs 3.00 for the initial pick up and 3.00 per mile after that. My trip was only 3.8 miles, although I should have been charged 14.40 I was charged 16.50 which came out to 3.60 per mile. Again, I don't mind, just be honest. Either way, I made it to airport. read more

Reservation was straight forward. Cab was punctual, driver was pleasant and I made it to the airport in no time at all. Reasonable fare and 10% off with the coupon you print online. read more

Original review: Called 2 days in advance to make an appointment for an early morning pickup at a hotel in South San Francisco to the SFO airport. The guy who answered told me it was better to call another cab company and gave me the number to the 1-2 star Peninsula Yellow Cab. Edit: Manager contacted me informing me that South San Francisco Hotels are only allowed to use Peninsula Yellow Cab for some reason. It was great that he gave me this explanation, but I still would not use Peninsula from all the bad reviews. read more

Decided to call for our ride to SFO from Belmont and the dispatcher was helpful when I called the night before when setting up the pickup. Got a call at about 4:50 saying that the driver was there and waiting for us. We had a bit of a confusion on where he parked but when I called dispatch we found him in a minute. We were to the airport on time and safely :) so I totally recommend Allied! read more

Allied has come though each time so far. They are quick to pick up and quick to deliver to and from the peninsula to SFO. Mention the coupon and even get 10% off. A no frills service, and sometimes the cabbies could be a little nicer, but overall a solid service. read more

Be prepared to over pay: My driver took the scenic route - hitting every back street between my pickup point and my destination. He was careful to avoid the 2 main streets which would have taken us from point A to point B directly. I've had this experience with other cab companies, and tried Allied this time because of all the GREAT reviews. I was pretty angry when he dropped me off, but hesitated to post a negative review or report the driver. I know the driver knew better - he just didn't think I knew. So - he cheated me - but I don't know if it was because he was a basic slime bag or if he was just some desperate soul who needed money so badly that he figured a few extra bucks out of my pocket wouldn't matter. I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter - I really just need to find some option other than taxis. I've heard too many bad stories about Ubers, so I guess the only options are public transit or mooching off friends. read more

I regularly take taxis to the airport, usually very early in the morning. After trying several different cab companies and being stood up repeatedly, I tried Yellow Allied Taxi. I'm very happy with them, and have been for months now! I'll never use another cab company. They're always on time or early. The cabs are very clean. The drivers are helpful & professional. I call 650.579.7000 the night before and request a pickup for 4:30am p/u the next day and that's it, I don't have to worry. I also have them pick me from SFO. Just a quick phone call once I have my luggage, and (10) minutes later I'm in their cab going home. For family trips they offer minivan service and even bring child car seats upon request. Do yourself a favor, try Yellow Allied Taxi. read more

Called the cab to get from a restaurant back to our hotel. We told him from where the pickup was and where the destination was as well. The hotel was about a mile away so I didn't want to walk with my mother in tow. When the cab showed up he disgustingly said " I had to come all this way to take you a quarter mile?". Then he drove all psycho. Never again will I use this company. read more

Sadly the last experience gets the rating. They blew it! We called in a reservation the day before. The driver called on time in the wrong city and address. Obviously, could have been a disaster. We got another company to show up on very short notice. These guys never appeared and never responded to our frantic calls. Will never use them again! read more

Friendly service, lovely limousine, great service! We couldn't have had a better experience. We ended up booking late, but they still bent over backwards to accommodate us on a very very busy weekend. It was our friend's 30 the birthday and our driver Tyrone was so nice! We were all really leased with the level of service and the quality of the limo for the price we pad; great deal! read more

Allied Yellow Cab - Taxis Near Me - Burlingame, California

See all

For our short trip from san bruno to sfo, Jose showed up early and only turned on the meter when we started rolling. He was patient and polite and he let us squeeze in an extra passenger. Great experience. I'll hire this cab company again. read more

Great experience - I called Allied Yellow cab for a ride because I had overslept and was late for work. Wasn't sure what to expect as it appeared that they were geared toward reservations, but the driver arrived within the 10 minutes he'd estimated. Courteous, quick ride, and I was only 10 minutes late to work - can't ask for better than that! read more

Here is the letter I just wrote I them: I just had a horrendous experience with driver Richard (an older white man, in case there are more than one Richard). He was so rude, i have never in my 18 years as a flight attendant experienced another human being as nasty as him. He picked me up from home and was rude from the start. I asked him "how are you doing today?" cheerfully when i got in the cab and he replied curtly with a grunt. So i didnt speak to him the rest of the drive. when we got to the airport i gave him $12. ($10 drew rate + tip even though he was rude. He said "whats this?" I told him, he said "Nope, call our number, its 20% off, not $10" And i wish i could convey his tone, as it was awful. So i called the number and it was confirmed, and told me its been this way for years, even though I take this cab company frequently and its always been $10. Richard put my bags in the street as i spoke with dispatch and drove off. when i finsihed the phone call, i went to put my bags together and my strap to attch my bags was missing. so I called back and explained about my strap. The dispatcher said that Richard said there was nothing left in the trunk. i said "of course he said that, he wasn't very nice to me. But it was on my bags when i gave them to him and wasnt when he drove off." The dispatcher put me on hold, and came back a few seconds later to tell me he found it and he was bringing it back to me. When he came back, he had his window rolled down and gave me the strap. i said thanks and walked away. he said "Hey!" i turned around and he was shrugging. I went back and asked him "what?" He said "this cost gas, you know, to bring this back to you!" i said, "then you shouldnt have forgotten it" He said "I didnt forget it, you did." I explained to him he put my bags in the trunk, and he took them out and drove off while i was on the phone with his dispatch and so how was it my fault that he forgot to give me the strap. He yelled at me "This is why i dont drive flight crews!" and as i was leaning in the window he started to drive off!!!!! he could have done serious harm to me! I couldnt believe this man! Then he braked abruptly and continued to yell at me! "Next time, tell them you're crew, so i dont have to come get you" and other things...he was a horrible, horrible man. I will spread the word and I will look for another cab company... I'm still in shock! read more

Called an hour before for a pickup, driver arrived 5 mins early, nice guy, loaded out luggage, mini-van type car, safe driver. Got us there on time. All good. read more

Best taxi service ever. Our driver Ted was on time, and got to our destination fairly quickly. He was also really friendly and professional. I would also recommend Allied Yellow to a friend, especially Ted. read more

One of the best taxi service in the Peninsula absolutely reliable always on time. Nice and friendly drivers they are always willing to help. I highly recommend this taxi service, dispatchers are always in a good mood and very friendly. I will most definitely keep using their service. read more

Awesome service! I needed to get to the Toyota dealership pronto and told the cab service when I called. Literally 3 minutes later I had a text that my cab was waiting! He took me, waited for me, drive me home. Less than 15 minutes. Easy peasy! read more

Extremely poor experience. Booked a taxi, didn't show up -- called and was told it was 2 minutes away, 15 minutes later called again, still no taxi. That's not how you run a service. Will never use them again read more

Long overdue review, but in brief, they have been_100% reliable_for rides to and from SFO in the last 5+ years that I've used their services. I've only ever called their dispatch number to reserve a pick-up-- either for myself or with my family (which required a minivan for a child car seat)-- and the drivers have arrived early every_single_time. Very solid track record. This has made for many stress-free departures. The reservation calls are always painless, drivers are friendly, credit cards are accepted, and their call-upon-baggage-pick-up service at the front of the cab line makes the return trip even more convenient. read more

Our family travels out of SFO regularly and we always use allied taxi. Our favorite driver is Teddy. We've been using him for 12 years now and I can't say enough good things about him. He's one of the friendliest, upbeat guys we know. He's always on time, never complains a bit (even when my husband leaves him waiting at times) and I love having him fill me in on all the latest news I've missed. We love Teddy like he's family. We wouldn't call anyone else. read more

Nothing to complain. Always on time. Take the front seat, have a little chat. Your trip would be delightful.

Jose is an AWESOME driver -- courteous, smart, funny, and kind. Took his cab from SFO to Oakland, and would use them again -- highly recommended. Thanks, Allied, and Jose! Great service! read more

Great experience to SFO tonight, friendly driver and arrived early:), will use in the future for sure!

i have taken allied several times from burlingame to SFO. they are ALWAYS on time, and usually about 10 minutes early in picking me up. and for me, that's the most important thing about a cab company. the cars are meh, usually on the older side. but whatever, it's not a big deal to me. as long as it's safe to take me where i need to go! for those who are concerned about a no-show cab, i always call the day of to confirm my reservation. FYI there's a 10% off coupon on the website that i always print out. EDIT: have you ever arrived at SFO, only to find the cab line to be INSANELY long? i have. if you don't want to wait 45 min for a damn cab, then call allied and they'll pick you up within 5 minutes. read more

Quick and on time!!! I was almost late for a flight and I got panic. Thank you for being on time and save my sanity!
