It's so hard to get a taxi in the Bay Area - and it's so incredibly expensive! I have to say that…read moreI was perfectly delighted to have a taxi show up from this group after calling about 5 places on Yelp that went straight to voicemail. Fatwan had a taxi that said "Diamond" taxi on the outside - but he was fast and courteous, conversational and funny. I'll definitely give these guys a call next time I need a taxi - now that I know there are REAL people answering the phone there!

I've lived in the Bay Area for many decades, so was aware that our French-speaking driver chose a…read morelonger route than necessary rather than quickly getting us on the bridge at Bryant Street. I pointed this out to him and he angrily denied it. He seemed very impatient, driving jerkily and erratically, nearly colliding with a car pulling a trailer and angrily blaming it on the other driver while I held on with white knuckles. It took a long time for him to get us on the bridge using his bizarre, round-about route. In the end, we paid forty dollars more than we had the week before for the very same ride. Never again.

I needed a very reliable cab to take my son from Oakland to an early, critically important surgery appointment at Kaiser Medical Center in Richmond. I talked to Bob, discussed details and then confirmed them online. He is a pleasure to work with, helpful, friendly, professional, and I felt confident would get my son to his surgery appointment on time, which he did even arriving early. I plan to use Bob's service in the future and am most grateful to have found him.

Same experience as other Yelpers. UNRELIABLE. I contacted them via their website 4 days before I…read moreneeded them to see if I could schedule a pick up for today at 6 am. I never got a response and I should have taken that as a clue. I called them last night and booked the 6 a.m. pick up that way. I was directed to send my address via text, which I did, and I got a text back confirming the pick up. So then I purchased the Yelp deal online for the $75 airport ride for $67, And then 6 a.m. this morning, I'm sitting by the window, with my suitcase next to me, waiting, watching. Nothing. 6:05. Nothing. 6:10. Nothing. I call the number. No one picks up. I send a text message and I get back the response "Sending a car now." Then I get a phone call from some other guy saying that he's driving from Berkeley and will pick me up in 10 minutes. 6:30 am a car finally shows up. This is an entirely different guy (who actually frightened me a couple of times during the ride with his reckless driving). I made my flight but probably wouldn't have if I had to check in bags. And guess what? I find out only when I get to the airport that 510 Airport Taxi had called ANOTHER taxi service to pick me up. So when I go to pay with the Yelp voucher, the driver refuses to take it because he's not with 510 Airport Taxi. Now I'm just trying to get my Yelp voucher refunded. I had to pay that guy, essentially paying for this awful taxi ride twice and now I'm getting texts from 510 Airport Taxi asking if I want to use the voucher for a ride from airport on my return trip (NO!) and that I have to contact Yelp for the refund. This is not a taxi service with a dispatcher. This is a guy who owns a car and a cell phone. BAD NEWS all around!

My opinion remains the same, they really deserve more than just 5 stars. After a few years, I was…read moredesperate in need of more than just a cab ride, a friendly face as I needed to get to ER. As it turned out I had broken my elbow and both bones in my arm connecting it to my wrist. After having such bad experiences when I've taken an ambulance to ER, I waited a full day before I had to resign myself to... it wasn't going to heal on its own and one of the broken arm bones was looking to be punching its way out of my skin. I needed a plan. Though it wasn't easy, I looked up cabs on the internet... and poof! There they still were Fast and Friendly with Abdo's name attached to it! It was after hours but I gave it a shot and they picked up! It wasn't Abdo but his son, Belal who was just as wonderful as his dad and the rest of the family crew had been and haven't used any other since(except couple of times when Covid & other things had them in limbo). It brought me back to life enough back in August to see Abdo's name on their ad and then the above and beyond heart full service I was in need of that night even though the prognosis of my injury would be worse than I knew at the time. And their service has been so exceptional and will always go out of their way to treat you with such kindness especially when they can tell you need more than just a ride but need a warm heart! They give everyone all this with rates that are no different than any other cab service. You won't be disappointed if you give them a call! Sincerely, Claire

IN CONTRAST, after that, getting BILL of "Taxi in Oakland" on the line and hearing his reassuring clarity about picking us up tomorrow and next day ... he gets FIVE STARS without even having had the rides yet !!??. Seriously. By the way: The many negative Yelp comments on Uber and Lyft, both, in San Fran' area ... mirror our awful, awful experience with them. Good luck, everyone; we'll confirm in another review that "Taxi in Oakland" specifically Bill came through, as we expect !! (PS...3 or 4? related companies listed had "voice mail box full" or "...not set up yet" WTH !!??" Thus...beware and set up your rides to/from AMTRAK with GREAT CARE !! (Also, it's disgusting the 2 nearest hotels don't have a regularly-set-up deal for rides and/or a paid or free van. Cue: banjo playin'.)

Friday night my partner and I reserved a wheelchair accessible taxi to go to my office holiday…read moreparty. I was very excited to find this company because taking the bus and BART can be so horrible in general, but even more so when one uses a wheelchair, especially since not all pub trans services run all night. I was super excited because I thought it would be so nice to have a taxi service that we can use regularly to go out to eat, to clubs, etc. and not have to plan our outings around public transportation. The driver was great when he picked us up... He was on time, very polite, patient, etc. When I talked to him about picking us up after the party he said he would be working until 4 AM and that I could call him 15 - 20 minutes before we were ready to go. All good. So at about 11:30 PM I called. And I got a recording saying that the voicemail box I reached had not been set up yet. I called back five or six times over the course of a half hour. Same thing. Finally, at almost midnight we gave up and made our way to the bus stop. We were really really really REALLY lucky that we realized that they wouldn't be picking us up early enough so that we could catch a bus home and we were not left stranded at the event. I think it is so very important for companies that offer this kind of service to understand that if they are going to offer wheelchair accessible taxi service how important it is to actually be available to pick people up when they say they will. There aren't many options for people who use wheelchairs, and we could have very easily been stranded with no way home.
