I recently called Azteca cab company for a ride and they ended up sending the Silver Cab Company. When I got into the cab as soon as we got on to the freeway I noticed the driver was not using the meter and I asked him why not. He said that my destination required an automatic $25 fee and ask me if I wanted him to drive me back home to drop me off. Since I was going to be late for an appointment I told him just to go ahead and keep driving. After the driver dropped me off I called Azteca cab company to tell them about my experience about the driver not using the fare meter and spoke to Jesse. He told me that no taxi cab companies in Bakersfield California use meters anymore because of the high price of gas and that actually $25 was a very fair price because to go to my destination it would have been much more. After I got back home by Uber I Googled what the city regulations are and discovered that all taxi cabs in Bakersfield are required to use a meter. ​ read more

First of all, I have no idea how this company has such a low rating on Yelp. I would double-check to see if some of these reviewers even actually used Silver Cab's services? Regardless, here's my take... My family and I were unexpectedly stranded in McFarland late at night on our way home to Sacramento, and we were incredibly fortunate to find Arturo from Silver Cab. He not only offered us a very fair price for what turned out to be a four-hour trip home, but he was also friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. Despite the late hour (11 PM to 3 AM) and the long distance, Arturo kept the ride comfortable and safe, and we had a long, engaging conversation that made the time fly. I was already tired from driving earlier in the day, but his professionalism and great company made all the difference. If you ever need a reliable, trustworthy driver--especially in a stressful situation--Arturo and Silver Cab are the ones to call. I can't recommend them enough. read more

We scheduled in advance. They didn't pick us up for our 4:30am trip to the airport. When we finally reached them in the phone once we got to our destination we got an "oops, sorry, I don't track the drivers". I would give them a 0 if it was an option. read more

Took a little longer than expected/informed but at least they showed at all honestly overall pretty professional

Junior saved the day when I faced a car issue and urgently needed to get to a car rental to get home. Despite no app-based rides or other services being available, Junior quickly came to my rescue, picking me up in Wheeler Ridge and driving me to Meadows Field Airport. His fast response and reliability made a stressful situation so much easier. The option to pay via Zelle was an added convenience. He laughed with us and helped me feel less terrible about the situation. I truly appreciate his help and highly recommend his service! read more

Not too long ago I called silver cab to pick me up. Two places I needed to go, both within a two mile radius. This silver cab is located on Quincy. The driver didn't even start his meter. He just demanded $40 dollars or he would take me back home. How in the hell is he going to charge me anything without the meter running? I wish I had gotten this thief's name. I got shaken down for $40 with no meter running. I think it would be a great idea if you would do some background checks. I will NEVER EVER order a ride from Silver Cab again. This driver is located on Quincy street.. Hire some drivers who don't shake their customers down. I got cheated! read more

Arturo A. was great! He had a great attitude and chatted with us throughout our whole ride. We got stuck in the Seqouia mountains and he came and saved us. I've never had a driver with such a great personality and extremely helpful. We highly recommend Silver Cab to anyone who needs a ride. Thank you Arturo and thank you Silver Cab, you guys made our day a whole better. Many thanks! Best regards, Brandalyn and Richard! read more

These guys drove me for 3 and a half hours when two tires blew out and we were stranded, came an hour to pick us up before hand too. Arturo is a gent and a pro, thank you again. Would send friends and family their way anytime. read more

In my opinion ridiculously priced I called asked for a ride from southern Bakersfield to LAX and this guy tells me $800‍ that's BEYOND ridiculous! A person could rent their own vehicle one way drop it off at LAX for a third of the price. Evidently I have to put some kind of stars but it should be a negative star on pricing alone! read more

The driver was speeding and I had to give him 20 dollars deposit for going down the street he didn't even keep the screen on he just made up the price in his head. Up charging me I was in and out both place 10 mins top. read more

Was charged 25 dollars from the La Quinta to the Bakersfield Airport. Absolutely ridiculous prices and the guy never even turned on his meter!!! Seemed nice enough but 25 dollars for two miles??? And I only had 21 in cash so luckily he just took it and let me go. Horrific. read more

These guys were great in our hour of need! We got stranded in Tejon on the grapevine and had no one local to call for help. These guys worked with us, were communicative, transparent and affordable. I recommend these folks and wish they had a local team for me to use more often! read more

My drivers name was Arturo. He was Promptly on time and very friendly and smiling the whole time. He told me after working in the fields for 20 years he is very grateful to be a taxi driver. Vehicle was clean and smelled nice. He also loaded my luggage for me. This is the only way to go in Bakersfield. read more

Silver Cab - Inside Cab - Taxis Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I used this company recently because I wanted to support a local business rather than one of the big tech companies. The service was fine, the driver was polite and drove well. My only complaint is the cost, it was about 50% more than what an Uber would have cost. They really need to reduce the prices for airport rides if they want to get customers. I like supporting small businesses, but they need to be competitive on pricing. read more

This driver showed up high, and a car full of marijuana smoke. He was very unprofessional, and rude. Do not use this company!

Ive been using this company for many years. I've never had an issue with them. They have always been there on time since day one. Thank you for being kind and reliable people. read more

They are not friendly drivers. But today I took them didn't have problem the first time . They don't seem to use the meter. First guy was it be $15 dollars for a $ 7.50 ride?My husband said how about $10. he said no $15. My husband told him have a heart it's Christmas eve. He told him I have to make money.So we call again and found one for $10. We are looking for new service. read more

Dispatch said our cab would arrive in 10-15 minutes. When it finally arrived 30 minutes later we mentioned we would be paying with credit card. The driver didn't help us with our luggage, or ask if we needed assistance. When we arrived at our destination we handed a credit card over. Driver - Don't you have cash? Me - No, that's why I mentioned we would pay with credit card when we got in. Driver - So you don't have cash? Me - No. Luckily there was an ATM inside the lobby. Not one of my better experiences with taxi services in Bakersfield. I won't be calling Silver Cab in the future. read more

I called and said I needed a ride to the post office and the goodwill and he says well it's going to be 30-45 minutes. I said okay and he hung up. An hour and a half later, no cab ever came. Then when we started calling back to see if anyone was coming the phone would ring once then they would pick it up and hang up on us. They did it 3 separate times. This company is a joke and the old man that answered the phone was so rude. I'm only not calling a Lyft because all my money is in cash not in my bank account But this isn't worth the BS read more

They are so rude The new drivers suck They get lost Argue with customers Talk crap about other cab companies Depending on the driver they will trade a ride for ............ Ive rode with them plenty of times Honestly. Should get your old drivers back Cabs are dirty and smell like sweaty guys Disappointed read more

This taxi cab company is so professional. I've used them for many years, I always call an hour before because I know they will be busy. All the drivers are respectful, and engage in conversation with me. The cabs are clean, and well maintained to other cabs I have seen. They are a really popular cab service in Bakersfield, but after years of needing transportation service, they are the only reliable company. Definitely recommend, and advise that you call one hour before you need to be picked up. read more

They never showed up and kept hanging up on me..

Requested a fare and i was told a 30-40 minute wait. After 50 minutes without anyone showing up, i called to ask for a status update. I was told that it would be another 15 minutes due to a failure to keep tabs on his driver, and that it would also be an extra $15 fee. I asked why that is the case considering that it was his error, not mine. He responded with "then i guess you don't want a cab" I will never be contacting this company again. read more

It was awesome. The drivers are soo cool. Good music. Clean and fresh cabs. Very considerate. I know they try hard to provide us with fast and reasonable service. I also heard they go outta town?! Good to know read more

I've been, using Silver Cab for about Six years. They have, always been very reliable when it comes to getting picked up and taken to your destination. Very polite, and professional service. read more

Great cab, lost my iphone inside the cab and he got in contact with my friend and kept it for me, Such an amazing thing for a person to do and for that, this cab company is trust worthy ! read more

This is the only taxi cab service I will ever call in Bakersfield. The driver is very friendly and prompt. Many of his customers like myself are from Rosedale. He is open 24 hrs which is a plus and his rates are reasonable. read more

Used them on two separate occasions. Both arrived within 20 minutes as they said they would. The cabs were clean, and the drivers friendly and knowledgable. I am keeping their number to use them in the future. read more

I called the main number and spoke with a gentlemen that was nice and I explained my flights lands at 12:00 but I would also need to wait for my luggage. After landing at 12:00 I seen the black and yellow cab but after getting my luggage they were gone. Thankfully Avon Taxi service was onsite and explained that they are always here so I'll look to that in the future. The nice man even gave me a discount and told me that my taxi from Silver Taxi Service was taken by someone else. I'm sure the owner will post a comment like before saying my timing was incorrect like he's done in previous YELP posts but these will be lies. Like previous posts I wish I could give 0 stars. read more

It's a crock that I can't rate this company at 0. My sister and I decided to take a cab home and be responsible people and this was the most terrifying and unprofessional cab ride we have ever experienced! The driver, James, was under the influence of some type of drugs or alcohol. He said the creepiest and craziest things to the two of us. No radio just him babbling and having no idea where he was going. My sister had to direct him of where to go. Additionally when I called the company to lodge a complaint I was informed by Jessica that they have had complaints about James before and on top of that he has mental issues. I cannot begin to describe how livid we were. We even filed a complaint with the police. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. They have no respect for other people and no standards for safety. I will be taking this matter to the BBB. read more

This cab service is horrendous, first off the drivers speed around town cutting people of nearly causing a wreck and then the driver(s) have the audacity as the fly by or break suddenly yell at people calling them a pinche puto.... dont mind the spelling....such bad social skills and how could you want to employ someone that is going to run away possible business. Dont use this cab service choose another or the ever popular uber or lyft services. These drivers are their own worst enemy, with having so many choices dont pick them. They will be their own demise read more

Called them on a Friday night Took 25 minutes to arrive. They said the closest driver didn't want to pick me up. Which is why it took 25 minutes. The guy who did pick me up was very friendly and a good driver. read more

I love taxis they are the best they can get you up to speed in to time.

I always use taxi services for my weekends around town, from the Padre to Bullshed to Shamrocks to wherever I wish to go....but Silver Taxi is BY FAR the best service not to mention their fast response time. Their cabs are clean and their drivers are honest and make me feel safe until I get to my destination. Thanks Silver! read more

We have called this company for rides numerous times for customers and personal use. They tell us 15 min and never show up. Very unprofessional call someone else or use uber. read more

Took two hours before my friend called back for the last time and they said the forgot about her call. Wtf is this shit?

I would usually speak highly of this taxi company but yesterday I contacted them at 1:15 and at 2:45 I was still waiting for my taxi when they told me that it would be 20 30 minute wait then when I finally start consistently calling they finally show up at 3:30 can even give me a discount or even give me a ride free so as of right now I'm for warning people the owner of this company is an ignorant lazy man that's disrespectful to his customers and does not have any ethical background on how customer service works this taxi company is officially on my crap list read more

Nope nope nope! I called in the afternoon to make an appointment for 2:15am for someone to come pick me up for the airport bus. I was told I would be called for confirmation and since no one had called I called them at 2:20 and it took forever for anyone to even pick up. Once they guy did pick up he told me he didn't have my appointment and this was the ONE saving grace... he said he would start the drive over to where I was and it would take about 15 min and he would call the other driver. Well the other driver calls me straight after and says the other guy is closer, and he didn't have my appointment either, so just wait for him. Once we are on the road, the driver that picked me up, was nice enough, but spent the whole ride complaining about the other guy... which honestly I understand but I was pissed enough it was just adding fuel to the already burning anger I felt ... So I made it to the bus at 2:57am. Who needs to follow redulations and check in 30 min early? I despise being late, that is why I opted for a cab rather than have a friend drive me... guess that was a bad idea since at least with a friend it would have been free and had they been late I could have chewed them out. Also a 2 dollar fee for credit? This day in age? You have got to be kidding me. Next time I am just going to use uber. That was total bull. The cab was at least clean. read more

This is the only taxi I will take ..good price and quick .im always on the safe side with silver cab .. The drivers are really nice :)
