We came back to Vancouver on Fri, Nov 17,22. At YVR, our Coquitlam taxi driver in a light blue Rav4, numberCT15 picked us up but refused to give a ride, saying we had too much luggage. Well, there was 3 of us, and we each had one luggage and one hand carry, standard size. Driver said it would not fit in a RAV4, but I told him that this luggage came out of a Prius Wagon and that the Rav4 trunk is much bigger. By size comparison, the RAV4 has almost 10 cubic feet more space, and that alone would compare to three standard size suitcases alone. The driver was lazy, and he is a poor representative for Taxi Drivers. Avoid this company if you want good service! read more

We called a taxi on Christmas Eve. The driver arrived and refused to run the meter on a trip to Langley...He insisted on a cash flat rate of 60$ which is more than it would cost for the trip. This is a blatant violation of the Lower Mainland taxi licensing rules and I'm taking this up with the Better Business Bureau and the Licensing board. Don't make the mistake of using this company. Call Royal City Taxi or Bonny's Taxi instead. FYI, Coquitlam Taxi, Bel-Air Taxi, Port Moody Taxi, Port Coquitlam Taxi and Maple Ridge Taxi are all the same company run under the same umbrella. Stay away from these dishonest people. read more

I was told they would pick me up today 10 minutes I waited 20 minutes and called I said look I have to get my kid from dance class I am standing in the rain soaking he said 2 minutes. the 10 minutes later I called he said he just pulled in. Then I see a cab pull in and pick some one up I call back he said oh dont worry we will send another this is now an how I start walking he says he is sending a cab I tell him where I am walking a cab slows down rolls his window down and gives me the finger. I have no idea why I was not rude I was soaking wet late to get my kid and I was just in awe of the fact that they gave my cab away and then the driver finally shows up about an hour into this I am drenched and he just slows down to give me the finger... I will never take this cab company again and I will be pursuing this in smal claims court and any where else I can there must be some actions taken this was just unbelievable read more

This was the worst I was crossing the road waiting at the crosswalk when a bell air taxi spead through the crosswalk and made a big honk at me I was very angry so do not use this taxi service use a different one this was in a school zone at 8:28am and I was 10 years old if I went through this crosswalk I would've gotten ran over! read more

The worst. Given many opportunities to get things right, but can't pull off the most basic aspects of dependability. Can't give accurate info from dispatch, can't show up on time, and appearently can't grasp the concept of phone calls on arrival. Drivers constantly covering for pathetic dispatch personnel, or stealing fares from each other, consequently throwing everything into a tail spin. Never again. This company doesn't give a "you know what" about it's customers, then drivers complain business is slow. I think we've discovered why. read more

Called ahead for a cab at 5am to the airport from my townhouse. We watched him pull up to my unit promptly on time but in the 45 seconds it took us to get to the front door, he drove away! No doorbell ring, no calls to say "on my way" or "I'm here". I went outside and saw him driving away on the main street. I called the dispatcher to say WTF and he said he'd send the driver right back. Five minutes later still nothing so I go out to the main street. I see a cab blasting by and practically leap in front of him to get him to stop. He says yeah, he's here for me but why is he driving by so fast and not looking for an address? On the plus side the driver was friendly and apologetic but it can't make up for this monkey-ass operation. read more

I had the worst experience in my life with this particular cab (CT05). To start with, this taxi was recklessly at YVR taxi lane (I was surprised they let him wait there, too). There was a lineup that I needed to take what came to my turn. The driver kept hitting the brake pedal at almost every signal regardless red or green! He pulled the window and started arguing with someone on another car I guess he didn't like. He didn't make a conversation but kept asking me rather rude questions and giving me equally rude comments. He asked me my destination more than a couple of times, never checked GPS, pretended he knew where he's going but needed to wait for me to give the direction. When I asked to pay by credit card, he insisted I pay in cash because he was simply too busy to deal with the credit card transaction (seriously how much more time does that take?). I paid by card, though, telling him either cash without tip or credit card with tip. But I believe he gave me different amount first than the actual total when he said how much it was. Also, he didn't pick up nor help bringing in/out of my luggage, didn't even bother to get off the car to open the trunk. It' just so disrespectful and uncomfortable I wish I didn't have to give him any tips and I hope I won't have to encounter him ever again. I'm not sure if this review applies to the other drivers who work for Coquitlam Taxi but I don't think it is a coincidence that they all bad reviews. read more

Could not even connect to anyone for over an hour to even request a taxi on a Saturday night. Pretty horrible that taxis cannot be considered a safe ride home plan anymore. Last time I did get thru and call a taxi the wait was over 3 hours and by that time I begged a friend to drive me home and when the cabby called at 3am mad because I was not there...is another reason why we need Uber read more

I had a horrible experience with car CT 102 on Sunday, July 21st at 4:49pm. We were picked up at the Vancouver airport by the driver. My husband I got in and the car and he started to drive. The car was very airconditioned and cold so I opened my window to get some warm/fresh air. The driver became VERY annyoyed with me and told me that I had to shut the window because the air conditioning was on, I told him I was cold and that air conditioning gave me a headache and that I preferred to keep my window open. He told me that having the window open was bad for his health and that I had to shut the window. I declined. Then he got aggitated and said he couldn't drive with the window open so we said to take us back to the airport terminal, which he did. I have never ever had a taxi driver tell me I can't open a window in their car. Quite ridiculous, The driver dropped us off and tried to get another passanger pick upand the airport taxi guide refused to give him another fare due to what happened, The taxi driver argued and was clearly mad and finally drove away. If your driver can't or won't let a passanger to open a window than perhaps he should tell a passanger BEFORE they get into his car so this drama could have been avoided. I would have waited for another taxi had this been disclosed and not wasted my time, The driver in #102 was rude and made my experience horrible with your company. read more

Took me for a back-road hostage adventure and then on the highway in the wrong direction, and I called the driver out on it. My usual $16 ride turned into $39. What in the hell?? I feel sorry for them, and the people that they obviously try to take advantage of. I miss Uber and Lyft so much. read more

Why does Coquitlam have only one cab company? Not only are the phone staff rude and will hang up on you before you have the time to ask "about how long are you thinking?", but they will greatly underestimate the time it will take for that cab to get to you. It's unfortunate we have no other options in this area. read more

I used this company (Belair Taxi) in Sept 2015 to go from Northeast Coquitlam to Lougheed Mall to pick up 2 more people, then on to Vancouver airport during mid morning, average traffic. Fare about $95. Fare was Okay. Then in Jan 2016 I used Belair Taxi again to go direct from Northeast Coquitlam to Vancouver airport, shortly after midnight. No traffic at all. This time the fare was $103.00. I felt this was about $10 too high. On return from vacation, at YVR took a Delta cab from airport to home in Northeast Coquitlam at 11:00 pm, traffic very light. Fare was $93.00. So some of the Coquitlam cab drivers are making changes to their meters to charge higher rates for the same distances, on the same routes, same type of cab. Do not use this cab company. They have some dishonest cab owners who are playing with the equipment to overcharge. read more

Horrible horrible horrible !!!!our driver stopped to pick up a random customer the other night....more below Zero customer service ,long wait times and worst drivers!!! Last guy was zooming around on icy streets but slowed down when it came really close to our house on a small hill-barely any incline. Cab fair went from 42-49 during this duration which was clearly oN PURPOSE to get more money !! He was also on the radio and refused to go to end of the street-empty lit street on a Friday night,yes there are snow banks but our cul de sac is fully paved and taken care off,we are on a busy street with many neighbours. So, we walked in our Sunday best about half a block away on icy sidewalks in heels because the cabbie had another call and rather half ass a job then take the 3 seconds to make sure a customer is in safely. Such a waste of money, and if you don't tip they speed off before you exit and take 40 minute to get to your pick up destination . What about the time our drive stopped to pick up a 3rd complete stranger!!!!!! And give her a ride home-she did pay her own fare but we were livid. She was a younger girl who was by herself and ended up working close to my company(post Xmas party) but she could have been a drug dealer with a gun for all we knew!!! And it gave him extra money for the extra block we had to take to get over her street . We called to complain but got hung up on. !!! Never ever will we use them again!!!! We need better laws and fines for these cheap wobble heads!! read more

We need Uber in BC asap! Taxi companies know they have a monopoly. There service is brutal. Uber now!

Coquitlam Taxi is absolutely the worst. The on hold times and how long it takes to get a taxi is totally unacceptable. In a word, Uber, otherwise it's time for all the local taxi services to pick up their game read more
