I used to use this cab all of the time, and was loyal to them for years. Even as a Canada post delivery person I always made sure to use their service each and every day. I have not used a cab in years but needed one, and again called for fifth avenue cabs. I called and was told it would be a 20 minute wait. After 35 minutes I called and asked if there was an issue and they said "no it will be there in 7 to 8 minutes. 45 minute mark, still no driver. Call again "oh hes almost there mam hes on whoop up drive now" (that is about ten minutes away from where I was). 55 minute mark I get a text saying I can now track my driver, which I see him driving in a different residential area which appeared as though dropping someone else off, still about 10 minutes away in a different direction. At this point I call another cab service (94 cabs, awesome company highly recommend) who says 10-15 minutes. 65 minutes in a cab driver phones me saying "hey mam I am near your house do you still need a cab?" 65 minutes and he is still not even near my house. I said I would see him soon. The other cab comes and picks me up (took them 7 minutes to get to me, again, use 94 cabs, not fifth ave), I can no longer see the cab driver on the track my cab link. He never showed up. an hour and 45 minutes later I get a text letting me know my cab is on the way and I can track its progress. thats almost TWO HOURS I waited for my cab as they repeatedly told me it was "almost there". If there is an issue, fine. tell me what it is and let me decide if I can wait another two hours for my ride. Don't lie to me and waste my time.
OH AND, their number says its a local number, but apparently, this has been told and it automatically connects you to Calgary, meaning when you call them, not only do they have the world's worst service, but they also charge you long distance fees.
HORRIBLE COMPANY. read more
