Really cool drivers- get you where you need to go, when you need to get there! This is all I can ask for in a cab ride:)

Plaza cab is the best method of late night transportation in Arcata. Cedric is a saint who has been cabbing for years. It's cash only and not expensive. Cost about 5$ just about anyone in Arcata. read more

Troy rescued us last night when our Uber broke down on the side of the highway at 1:30am in the rain! Thank you Troy!!!

My daughter lives on the same block that this company uses to park their cars. Despite repeated notes on their windshield, asking them not to take spaces away from the people that live there they continue to do so. Their vehicles are dilapidated. They come out at all hours of the night, cursing at the cars because they won't start. If you're looking for a final ride in a death trap, I suppose this is the way to go, but otherwise I would definitely steer clear. read more

I requested a cab service from Arcata to Eureka, seems pretty reasonable to me considering that both towns are ONLY 20 mins from each other, and people commute between them frequently. When I told the person on the phone (I'm assuming the driver) where I was going he literally said "Jesus Christ" in an exasperated manner. Oh I'm sorry sir that I'm inconveniencing you by asking you to do the job you're tasked with doing. Also said the wait time would be 45-60min read more

There is an angel named Troy who has a special cloud in Heaven. We got into Arcada on Thursday and rented a Zipcar that ended up not working just two hours into our trip because we were too far from civilization. ( Which is for another review if I have the time or energy left in my body that they stole. ) So, we had to find a ride to the airport in two days for a 7am flight on Sunday. After calling every cab company in town City Cab confirmed that they were in range and only available for a pickup Sunday at 3am. Elation. A ride. Until 2:30am when we got a call saying "There are no drivers available. Sorry ‍." Devastation. We were stranded and in a struggle. Every Lyft, Uber, Google-able Car Service, and hotel shuttle was unavailable. It seemed that we needed the shavings of Moses staff and Jesus tears to help us. Then Plaza Cab's Troy came through and answered the call at 2:45am... Even though it was out of range. Sure, the cab is dated. Okay, it may have cloth seats. But I slept like a baby because the ride was smooth, we were saved and Troy DROVE HIS ASS OFF to get us there in time through The Legend of Sleepy Hollow fog. Not only was he communicative at 3am until our pickup time at 4am in the middle or Bumf*****. He also brought us to an ATM because it is CASH ONLY. Plaza Cab does NOT normally do rides like this so please schedule ahead of time. Or rent a car a month in advance ( Because that's the only way you'll get one ) Just DON'T rent a Zipcar because it'll age you from the stress it will cause. read more

We unfortunately had our Subaru totaled today while going through town. After dealing with CHP and tow we called another local cab place and they said it'd be over an hour. The tow truck driver gave us Plaza Cabs number and Troy was on the site of the accident within 10 minutes, grabbed us, took us to a hotel, and had a great couple of suggestions for dinner. read more

Plaza Cab - Troy could drive, our Subaru couldn't - Taxis Near Me

Rescued us late night from ACV airport. Classic car (early 90's wagon with 3rd row seating intact) and a laid back, friendly driver. When call did not work, text to the number was effective, smooth communication. Small local biz that said they were looking for drivers as of June '22. read more

Serving the Arcata area, this company has very polite and accommodating cabbies, Nice dispatchers, I WISH they operated 24-7 but they do not start service till 5 pm. They always arrive within 10 to 15 minutes of being called, the cabs do not smell and the drivers are very nice! They give you their business cards and you can call them directly to arrange driving appointments. I LOVE the company and I will use them every chance I get! They are the absolute best I much prefer them over Citicab 999% They will give you quotes for rides and honor those quotes. . read more

Plaza Cab was kind, fast and affordable! An uber would be 3X the price for where I was going, and I would have waited so long for it. Plaza Cab was picking me up within 10 minutes, and the man was so kind! Definitely would recommend! read more

When the Holiday Inn Express at the airport is full and you have to stay elsewhere, there are not a lot of options for getting to the airport for an early flight. Thank goodness for Plaza Cab. I booked the evening before for my 6:30 am flight. Troy arrived as scheduled at 5:10 am to pick me up and was a careful and courteous driver. I will certainly be using Plaza Cab again. read more

Got this transportation for a family member to go from California City to Los Angeles due to a urgent issue and they were friendly from the very first call to the drop off. They really helped us during a urgent time and we appreciate it! I would recommend this service to anyone that needs fast, reliable and courteous service. read more

I thought Service was Dead. Not anymore! I called Plaza Cab to take a friend to dinner who was visiting on a bike tour from Canada to LA. We had a nice chat with Kathy about bike tour plans and our restaurant choice. First restaurant not open on Monday, second closed for remodeling. 2 hours later after finishing our meal at a totally different location, Kathy walked up to us to return my friends iPhone left in her cab. He had no idea he'd even lost it!!! Kathy had to track us down going to several restaurants. NOW THAT'S SERVICE read more

Great cab service. He was super friendly. City cab told me 2 1/2 hours and he was here in 15 minutes even during the rush!

I agree with previous posters that this cab is cheaper than others, especially when traveling in Mck. Our driver was not the most talkative fellow, but he was there on time and got us on time. read more

City Cab (Eureka, CA- please see the review I posted for them) called Plaza Cab to come pick us up when City Cab kept us waiting for more than an hour. Drivers were friendly and helpful, and they were $3-4 below what City Cab had quoted us for our trip. Plaza Cab GOOD, City Cab BAD. (Also, if you happened to have left a cell phone in one of their cabs, we left it at the front desk of the Super 8 Motel in Arcata. I left a voicemail explaining this for Andrea, who called around 2:30am. Hope it got back to you!) read more

They always pick up when they say they will, and often, if its not a big drinking holiday like new years eve, they pick up within 15 minutes. On top of that, the people are actually polite and pleasant to converse with and speak to on the phone. They don't take credit cards, which is the only bummer, but they have been reliable for rides every time. Shout out to Jamie, she is a safe and speedy cab driver. read more

I haven't actually used this cab service, because no one answered the phone the first 4 times I called. On the fifth try I finally talked to someone about getting a ride from the north end of downtown Arcata to the airport. I was told that it would be $45 give or take. Seriously? That's like maybe 10 miles. I'd rather take my chances hitch hiking. read more

I love Plaza Cab! They are always super quick for pick ups and always super kind and respectful! Not to mention they can hold 7 PASSENGERS in their cars! That definitely makes a night out with a bunch of people a whole lot easier! They're my go to call every time I need a ride. read more

Disgusting. By far the dirtiest cab I've ever been in. The seatbelt was so dirty and sticky that I couldn't even wear it. There were cigarette burns all over the inside. Panels missing from the door. Smelled like cigarettes. I would use any other cab company. read more

They have pretty terrible service I mean they are getting paid to drive. I haven't took a cab in a long time until tonight and I will never use their service again. read more

Cab came fast and knew the area really well. Wish the cabs were cleaner. The drivers was really nice but the car could use some interior love. read more

The service is friendly, they'll remember who you are after your first trip, and they remember where to take you. I've never had them come later than 15 minutes after I call, though usually it's around 5 or 10. Not very expensive for a taxi service, either which is lovely. Make sure you have cash on you and tip them when they drop you off. They deserve it! read more

OK so it was a big demand "New Years Eve " night but after not being able to get any response for pick up after an hour plus of calling we had to give up. No dispatch message available and nobody to take calls. In this case 'first come first serve' became a lottery of luck. We would definately not have taken the cab to our event if we had even though it would be this bad but they assured us they had plenty of extra drivers and it was ok. NOT TRUE. A brisk 4 mile walk back at 2:30 am... in 33 degrees.....well that wasnt quite the memory we were looking for. read more

These guys are great. I was in a pinch and needed a ride to Arcata from Blue Lake late at night. Polite service and convenience. Ask for Louie! Super nice guy with great attention to detail. read more
