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!

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.

I do not recommend getting a taxi from these people, especially if you are female. First cab we got…read moreour cabbie had a problem with my spouse sitting in the front seat, but reluctantly took us anyways. Second cabbie on the way home had a fit. Told us he had too much stuff for anyone to use the seat, we decided it would be better to just call the company and get a different cab. Third cab arrives and like the first guy he has a problem with my spouse sitting in the front seat. The only reason he took us was because we continually asked why she couldn't sit in the front seat and how it was discriminatory. This was a very hot day and after a block my spouse began to feel uncomfortable as the man turned off the ac because she was wearing no bra. Most of the cabbies make females feel uncomfortable if not unwelcome in the cab compared to if you were a man.. and don't get me started on the state of most cabs and the smell inside them.

Incredibly dishonest! If they are ripping locals off, imagine how they treat tourists.

I had the worst experience in my life with this particular cab (CT05)…read more 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.

The booking process is easy, the manager Howie is responsive and easy to work with. The drivers are always on time and courteous. On our most recent trip, there was a terrible accident on highway 99 which delayed us 7 hrs! We had multiple families traveling on together in a large van, half children under the age of 8. The kids were going stir crazy and so were the parents. The person that was not frazzled at all was our driver Johan. He was with us the whole way, taking us to dinner in Squamish, driving us around town looking for a place to entertain the kids and wait for the roads to reopen. We ended up having to hang out at a Walmart for several hours. By the time we got to Whistler was about midnight, on a 5p planned arrival. Johan never stopped being courteous, kind, and friendly. I can't imagine how tired and frustrating the ordeal must have been for him, yet he never let it showed and it made the journey so much more pleasant despite the circumstances. We've never had a bad experience with Excel.

If you're going to be leaving before midnight, you should have no problem getting a ride, if it's after 1am, reserving is a safer bet. We called a day ahead to reserve. It was only $40 from West Vancouver to downtown and worth every penny. It would have been double had we cabbed there and back and making that morning trek to retrieve an abandoned car with a "wedding" hangover is never a pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning.
