I started researching cab companies before arriving in San Diego, because I needed a reliable ride…read moreback from my event to the airport. My first call was to Yellow Cab. I asked the dispatcher if she could give me a fixed rate or minimally a quote: She wouldn't. For me, a woman coming from out of town, it did not give me the assurance I needed that, things would go well, if I couldn't be given the courtesy of a fixed rate or minimally, a quote up front. That lack of transparency was a big red flag. I crossed them off my list. I then called Coastal Cab and spoke with Adam, the dispatcher. I asked him for a fixed rate and he said, "Of course," and guaranteed the ride would cost $50 from the Del Cerro neighborhood to the airport. I made the reservation and called about 30 minutes before my pick-up time, just to ensure I was on their list for a ride at that time and he assured me I was and the driver showed up exactly at the requested time. The cab (a Prius) was clean and the driver (Jamal) was friendly, a good listener and most importantly, reliable and safe. It seems to me that it's rare these days to have such an experience of competence and ease with making arrangements with a new business, but Adam and Jamal made things seamless for me. I will absolutely call Coastal Cab in the future, next time I'm in San Diego and need a lift.

AK is great.. If you are looking for a solid pick up, ride, etc... AK is the guy. What I…read moreappreciated about him was he was on time, and his communication to make our ride happen, was excellent. He works through text and he is quick to respond. We had to change our ride several times and he kept working to make it work. His airport pickup was smooth. His pick up our home was early and he was on time and ready. He's also a really likeable guy with couple of young kids. I love supporting him and will now always use him for our rides. The best thing which I think we all look for with cab rides is reliability. AK rocks it. (as you can see by his many great reviews!)

If airport rides were an Olympic sport, Jonas would be bringing home the gold. He picked up my…read morefamily of four (plus what felt like enough luggage for a six-month expedition) from Poway and got us to the airport smoothly, professionally, and stress-free. The playlist? Absolute perfection -- somehow managing to please an entire car full of people, which honestly deserves its own award. A week later, he picked us back up from the airport and delivered us home to Poway like the vacation fairy godfather he is. Great conversation, incredibly professional, genuinely kind, and the kind of person who makes the ride feel like part of the vacation instead of just transportation. This company struck gold with Jonas. After riding with him, I wouldn't even consider using another service. Five stars isn't enough -- give this man a cape and a raise!

Except I made a mistake with the original pick up time. I put 2:45 AM vs PM. My fault. I had a very hard time getting ahold of anyone. (Email on website didn't work) calling they told me to email this was 15 minutes or less after booking. Finally I called the next morning and got someone. Luckily they were able to change it for me. Skip to day of arrival. Of course our connecting flight was delayed. I messaged city captain to let them know we were going to be later than expected. Our original driver still showed up at the normal time and asked where we were. I told them that I contacted the company and the rescheduled for A little later. He told me to call him when we were out of baggage claim. In the meantime, I got a message that a different driver was on their way to pick us up at the new anticipated time. I let them know our original driver was waiting for us. I didn't hear anything back, so I Joe they cancelled that driver. We finally got picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Phew! The driver was super friendly and understanding when we apologized about the situation. Fast forward to scheduled pick up from hotel to be take to the airport at 4 Am. I was texted at 3:30 that our driver was on the way. I stood outside of the hotel until 4:05 when I called and said "hey we were supposed to be picked up at 4 and our driver isn't here" I don't think they remembered. You could see their car on the map that was not driving. Shortly after my call it started moving. 20 minutes late our driver showed up. Luckily we were able To navigate through the airport quickly to make our flight. I am not sure if these issues are normal? We have scheduled Ubers before at 4 AM and have never had an issue. So It's weird that with a premium car service this would happen. I don't know. Everyone we had Contact with was friendly though.

This is best way to manage airport travel - so much more convenient and personal than other travel options; and also, more economical. Certainly beats trying to park near the airport and deal with shuttles. Perfect transportation option! We'll be using Rudy's assistance in the future.
