This is the bastard cab driver. If you see this, RUN
Lauren V.

TLDR - Absolute fucking garbage. Terrible abusive drivers - Avoid AVOID AVOID! THESE GUYS ARE THE REASON the can industry is terrible and should die off. I have never had such a caricature of a bad cabbie before. This happened on the evening of 8/22 on the way home from Burbank Airport. I only approached the cabs when my Uber driver couldn't find us and when called it was apparent they didn't speak a word of English, thus we could not communicate to each other. So in a huff, they canceled the ride on me. Not wanting to wait for another ride share, I approached the cabs. This older male cabbie approached me in a prius and seemed all too eager to take me and my partner. We loaded the bags into the car and I probably should have listened to instinct and got out of the car when I noticed him arguing at another customer. He was supposed to take him, but didnt because he didnt bring his bags to the car fast enough? Something like that but he was taking us and not him. He was already driving and running the meter before asking us where we were going. We told him north hollywood. He sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity, then I told him my address. He immediately started berating us. He kept saying over and over again that we weren't worth his time, that cabs should only be used for far away, we should have used Uber and he kept on like that. I tried to explain what happened as calmly as possible but he kept saying IM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS! THIS IS NOT WORTH IT! And me and my partner were in shock. I kept silent and trying to take pictures of anything with his information on it. The info said that his name was ZADOUR and he kept quiet from then on out when I noticed the signs that read that there was video and audio being recorded in the car. He got another call for a ride and literally screamed GET YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT! HURRY! HURRY! I HAVE TO GO! and when I tried to pay with card he barked YOU DONT HAVE CASH?! my girlfriend was pretty pissed at this point and said "yeah I have cash but you got change?" Sorry, we do normally tip well but there's no way we were gonna let this bully off with a tip. The ride was like $13.50 and he really thought we were gonna give him all $20 when he was being a dick the whole ride home. She wanted $5 back and he said "I'll give you $4?" And she said no and he went back to GET OUT! GET YOUR BAGS OUT! HURRY! And my girlfriend is matching his energy and saying GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY! JUST LIKE HOW YOURE RUSHING US! HURRY! HURRY! So he throws the cash back at us, slams the trunk and starts cursing at us in his native tongue. Then he makes an angry ass UTurn down the street and drives past us screaming incoherently and driving away. Just got back from vacation and this was the black eye of my week. Fuck a cab, do a ride share or pay a relative to take you home

I researched a couple transport options and different car companies before settling on Go Ride as I…read moreneeded to transport 3 kids which all required a car seats as per California Law. Uber car seat didn't seem to be a reliable option and ride hailing services required a super far transfer to another pickup location. The bus was also triple the time to our destination near the cruise port. Go Ride was very clear about their pricing and they were detailed when answering a follow up question I had about pickup time which was fortunate as our flight ended up getting in 30 mins earlier than scheduled. Our driver, Oscar, arrived early to pick us up - I received an iMessage from him before landing using my airline's in-flight wifi - I was able to send him updates as we got off the plane and got our bags. He pulled up within 5 mins of my last message when we had our bags conveniently right outside the terminal. It was so easy I didn't even need to rent the $8 USD luggage cart and my kids didn't have enough time to complain about any wait. Oscar was really helpful with our bags and had all the car seats already installed correctly! All seats were facing the correct direction, solid, tight and the only adjustment needed was for the actual seat belts themselves to secure the kids. Oscar offered us bottles of water and we were off to the hotel. On the way we had a nice chat and he was totally OK with the youngest child crying for a bit while navigating LA's notorious traffic (he said it was light but to me it was busy). Drop off at the hotel was smooth and we tipped in cash for great service - he impressed us! Definitely would recommend to anyone especially families looking for a smooth experience getting anywhere from LAX airport. I will be using them again for future travel. Pricing: reasonable and competitive for door to door private car service with car seats. Communication: from booking to actual day of it was the right amount of detail Quality: car and car seats were super clean Safety: our driver Oscar was safe while navigating LA's freeway and street traffic. Car seats were properly installed and well maintained. Convenience: Door to door service was amazing and easy - I had bags but didn't require a luggage cart at all. Time saved = more relaxation time = less whiny little ones Thanks again Oscar and Go Ride!

We received a text from our driver, Rich, to know when we unboarded the plane. He was very kind,…read moreknowledgeable, and a great driver. We usually rent cars when we're in the area, but if we are looking for shuttle service, we will use Go Ride again.

RATING: 0 on reliability, and 5 on customer service, for an average of 2.5 - 3.0…read moreThis is long because I want you to know the bad, balanced by the good. NOTE: I don't have a data plan on my phone, so I have no access to wifi when I'm out and about, therefore I don't use Uber or Lyft. I called Independent Taxi Company more than 12 hours ahead to make a reservation to be picked up at 2:30 a.m. to go to LAX. I heard the person groan. (Their hours, listed above on this page, say they're open 24 hours, so I don't understand what the problem is.) They told me someone would call me before they arrived. At 2:30 a.m. I had not received a call, and no one arrived to pick me up, so I called them. They said they were trying to find someone to take me. (Above, it says they have over 400 cabs in their fleet. What's the problem?) Beginning to panic, I hung up and tried to reach a friend at that ungodly hour, but his phone was turned off. I called Independent again, and they asked if I could wait an hour! NO! I have a plane to catch. I didn't have time to call around, so I jumped in my car and drove to The Parking Spot, near the airport, parked my car there, and took their shuttle to the airport. (I used their least expensive option, meaning I parked in uncovered parking on the roof.) When I returned six days later, I owed $179.12. I called Independent, and spoke to Leon. When I told him I would like to be reimbursed for that expense because, not only was I not picked up, but worse, NO ONE EVEN CALLED TO TELL ME THEY WEREN'T COMING, he asked me to email him a copy of my receipt from The Parking Spot, and he agreed to reimburse me. When I told this to my friends, every one of them was shocked and amazed. But wait -- there's more. A check was, indeed, mailed to me. Through the Post Office's Informed Delivery, I could see it was supposed to be delivered on April 25. I could even see a picture of the envelope. The Post Office never delivered that envelope to me. It is now May 11, and I still don't know what happened to it. I waited for over a week, and I even went to the Post Office to inquire about it, but they were clueless. Finally I called the accounting department at Independent, told them what happened, and asked if they could send a replacement check. They did, and I received it today. Leon and Independent provided OUTSTANDING customer service, as a follow-up to their poor service. Everyone thought this was a lost cause, but it wasn't. They did the right thing. I was wondering whether I would trust them when I need a taxi again, and then I realized, yes, I would, because I know if something goes wrong, I can count on them to take responsibility. Thank you Leon. On your part, you did a great job.

Uber wanted to charge me 3x the avg rate from LAX to my hotel, which was 2 miles away from LAX. I…read morechose Independent Taxi because they were fair, they keep a consistent rate regardless of the seasons, and that I truly appreciate. I like these taxi companies because, unlike Uber, they don't illegally price gouge you because some conventions are in town. The driver that drove me had a minivan, and it was very clean, and he was very friendly and an excellent driver. Would recommend, especially since Uber illegally price gouges its clients during busy seasons.

So the taxi reached my destination when I got home I realized I had forgotten my boots because of the other stuff I was carrying. I called the same day and they told me to call Monday. I called Monday they told me to call in 1/2 an hour .So I did and they had no info for me. Basically they have been giving me the run around. I called again on Tuesday and the number was disconnected. Wow this is ridiculous. So I found a few other #s to there business and two were also disconnected. I found a working # and Nayeli tells me that I am calling the wrong company. This is ridiculous I will never use this service again bad bad bad :(

I'm the regular customer and I love this company and I almost know every driver I'm not Spanish and…read moreI cannot speak Spanish the ladies and one young gentleman in the daytime when the answer the phone this week fluently English and they know who is the customer show from past 2 weeks on Saturday and Sunday when I call Eve 1 man answer the phone he cannot speak English very well and when he see you can not speak English he's going to hang up the phone on you and when you called over hundred times I sure he's gonna pick up the phone and hanging up on you i video tape last night when he did this to me and he send driver number 10 the new lady she speak no English absolutely zero English and she was telling me I have to put the money on the seat 2 she drive and she was telling me all in Spanish when I tell her I don't know how many miles do over there so she couldn't understand me and she was telling me another dinero first so I think you guys should advertise only Spanish people get service not are there people even when there are regular customer I mean regular calling everyday and spend over $40 last couple of times when I had bad experience at night I was like maybe next time he's going to be better but when he did it again last night and I missed my bus and I wait until 5:30 a.m. so this is my first review Yelp I love this company and I know all the driver driver number 51 awesome 52,53, 56,36 and believe me the ladies working in the daytime they have fantastic customer service and they are professional if you call them one time for service and then next time you call they know already I name but I have no idea why the owner or manager don't do something with some good dispatcher working at 9 someone can speak English because if dispatcher is bad and you owner not gonna make money and go to vacation and don't give a s*** about your business but I'm gonna keep working with this company because I love all the driver they are hustler respectful and professional
