Horrible - they estimated arrival in 15 minutes - it was more like 2 hours 15 minutes!!!

One of the worst taxi services I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I've delt with their shoddy service until now because it was the only alternative, but after my experience today I think the bus is going to be a more viable option. I called at 11:45 to catch the Greyline bus in Westover at 12:30, headed to Clarksburg. A taxi arrived at 12:07 and picked up another passenger who I had seen call for service ten minutes after I had. The driver had assured me that another driver would be coming to get me shortly, after I had notified him that I had a scheduled bus I couldn't miss. I waited and watched two unoccupied cabs drive past me at 12:14 and 12:20, which would have had plenty of time to make the four minute trip to my destination. After being passed by the second cab I called the dispatcher to ask if I still had someone on the way for me because I had a bus I needed to catch at 12:30. Or, at least that's what I was going to say, except as soon as I said "Hi, I was just wondering when to expect my cab..." I was cut off by the dispatcher in a tepid voice saying "It's going to be there shortly" and was hung up on. Aghast by that, I waited for the taxi to arrive to let the driver know his services wouldn't be needed since I wouldn't make it to my destination in time anyway. He arrived at 12:29, the same driver that could have picked me up at 12:07, leaving me plenty of time to arrive at my destination. After being treated so terribly by dispatch and never arriving anywhere I've needed to be on time since I first started using this service, it's a wonder to me why they are still in buisness or why a better alternative hasn't popped up. I'm so terribly disappointed by my experiences with them that I had to sign up just to post this, and hopefully others take heed of their terrible ratings and never give their hard earned money to this sham of a "buisness." read more

Update: I have called for cabs several times from this company and they have all brought me from point A to point B in Morgantown. Besides the cabs being dirty and old, the cab drivers not helping me put my luggage in the trunk and not realising that they should open the trunk for my luggage, and a cab driver making a shady call to his friend and offering to loan him money while driving at night on the hills, the cabs worked. But not today. I called for a cab and waited for 20 minutes and it did not show up. When I called again to check, they refused to pick up the phone. I called a third time and a woman started shouting at me and claiming that I was not present to hail the cab. Completely false. I hung up and then someone (possibly the late driver) called me back from the number 304 319 1477. This time it was a man. I told him the cab never showed up. I repeated that. He hung up. Do not patronise this company at all costs because they do not care about the average customer. Public transport in Morgantown is a wreck. read more

The lady who answers the phone literally runs off customers. I requested a cab, but told the lady I had to be at the airport at 10:30, so I needed the cab to get me there by 9:30. The cab arrived to pick me up at 10:00. The driver said he was never told to be there by 9:30. The second time, I decided to schedule the cab ahead of time and called 4 hours early for a cab to pick me up at 9:30, the lady who answered screamed into the phone, "just call us when you are ready". I said I did last time and you were late, so I am giving you plenty of notice. She refused to take the information down and repeated that I need to call when I am ready. I gave $20 to a neighbor to take me. The third time, I called at 8:30 am and told them I was ready for pickup, just like the lady asked. She responded, "I will get a cab there when I can" I said, will it be here by 9:30? "She said I can't guarantee it". I said well, I need to be there before 9:45, and if you don't have a cab here by 9:30, I will not be taking it and will drive myself. She responded, (get this) "then you should have called ahead of time to schedule" I responded that I tried to last time, and you would not schedule it. She blew up on the phone and said, "then drive your own car!" I asked her if she was the owner. She said no. I said that her boss would probably love to hear that she is advising customers not to utilize them. She screamed back, go ahead and tell my boss. So she felt confident the Yellow Cab boss would back her up. This is what is wrong with a monopoly. This is the only game in town. Right now, I am getting together a coalition of investors to begin a competitive cab company that will give customers a choice and they will have to compete with the best service. It turns out that everybody has a similar story as mine and the others who have been just as frustrated. A website will be set up soon to allow people to voice their opinion or at least call for the removal of the lady who hates customers. read more

I am a regular customer who unfortunately has to use the cab company on days when public transportation is unavailable. I am forced to rely on Yellow cab to get to and from work. Despite knowing me as a regular I have dealt with hour+ waits even at very early hours. If you have a time constraint to get somewhere, it's better to call a friend. The customer service is terrible. The drivers are unreliable and could care less about making the customer happy. There are dispatchers who make it seem like they are put out just to get you a ride. read more

Absolutely the most rude people to talk to on the phone. When I have had no other choice then to get a yellow cab I have had all negative experiences. Idk how many times they just hang up or shout Over the phone because you didn't hear them correctly. read more

I use the cab more twice a week. Either coming from work late night or going out on the weekends. Most of the cabs are dirty and broken down from over use. I recommend calling a minimum of 40minutes to an hour before your expected leaving time (especially if you are wanting to go out on the weekend). If this company was anywhere else, with any competition, they would be out of business. I only give them 1/5 stars. A lot of the drivers tell you to request them but I only recommend Dan or Sam. They are reliable and will make an effort to get you where you need to be and usually have a funny story to tell you! This company gets 3/5 stars because of the service these drivers provide. There is only one dispatcher that is very rude. The others do try and get a driver out to you as quick as possible. Hope this review helps even though you don't have much of a choice. read more

Literally I called 45 minutes ahead of time for a cab at 11:15. I called numerous times while waiting and the rude dispatcher kept saying "you're next on the list ma'am. I don't have an ETA" the driver didn't call me until 12:33. Unbelievable. Never been so disappointed in any service before. Call the new place. At least the dispatcher is More polite. read more

To put simply, the dispatch is extremely rude, the drivers are extremely rude, I waited 4 HOURS on a pick up one night. Usually about an hour wait time, But it's the only option in town unless you wanna pay an arm and a leg to use MoTown Taxi. The cabs are never clean it's honesty amazing they stay in business but what are people gonna do when it's their only option? read more

Tried calling for a cab to go out in Morgantown after the game. Very rude on the phone. When I checked with a friend to figure out timing we couldn't get them back on the phone. All night long! We ended up driving instead. read more

I called a cab last night around 11 PM to go visit my brother at his apartment, and I'm still waiting for the cab. Its been 15 hours.. Hopefully they'll get here soooonn. read more

The drivers are incredibly rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. After multiple unsuccessful attempts of contacting his fare, by blaring his horn 10+ times in a small apartment complex very early in the morning, I had enough and asked him to cut it out. People were still sleeping, and no one wants to hear that over and over first thing in the morning. He did it again. I went out to ask if he could contact his fare by phone instead of being so irritating, and was told to step away from his vehicle and was crudely berated as I walked away. As I went into my apartment to inform the police of the disturbance he was creating (and it was a disturbance - not a simple "toot toot", he laid on his horn obnoxiously over and over, and continued to do so out of disrespect) he yelled b*tch and a few other choice words at me from his vehicle, from the middle of the parking lot. This is the sort of driver they have working for them, and understandably the reason Yellow Cab is rated so poorly. read more

Their business needs to be revoked. It's an absolute scam. You'd have a better chance getting picked up safely and promptly if you just thumbed for a ride. read more

Every time I visit WV their cab service is awful. I hope UBER or LYFT comes in and puts them out of business. This is the only place I have been that they charge $5 plus mileage per person in the car. (When we went three miles). As I said I hope technology comes in and replaces them. read more

One of the worst taxi services I have ever used. They have a monopoly on the market here in Morgantown and terrible service gets rewarded for them. Their cars are absolutely terrible, all completely trashed. The drivers are terrible, rude and will not help at all. To sum it up if you need a taxi on any day that ends with a Y you will either not get one because it takes them 3-4 hours during the weekend or you'll have one of the worst taxi experiences of your life. The ONLY way to get decent service is if you have their personal number and a set of tits. read more

This was my first time to Morgantown from Washington, D.C. I dialed up yellow cab at the airport not knowing much about the cab scene here. I had the great luck to have Mark Conte pick me up in cab 16. While the cab was quite a bit worse for the wear, Mark was wonderful. Fast, efficient, pleasant and professional. When I got to my destination, everyone said how most cab companies in the area are terrible. I called yellow cab again because it was all I knew. And, as luck would have it, Mark picked me up again later in the day to take me back to the airport. While I can't speak to yellow cab directly, Mark was fantastic. read more

I would leave 0 Stars if I could but I'm leaving one star because they were fast. Mike Allievato was our cab driver if I remember the name correctly and he was the rudest man I have ever spoken to in my life. First off he showed up at the wrong address and called me yelling because nobody was outside and when I tried to give him the correct address that he kept it bluntly interrupting me and telling me "ma'am just walk out to the cab and get in I don't have time for this". So we did, even though it was way far away from where we were. My advice to this jerk is: Dude, this is Fairmont West Virginia not New York City there is no need to have that kind of attitude. Will never ever use the service again we are paying customers paying for a service and don't deserve to be treated that way. read more

The cabs in Morgantown are typically old, but it's also an old college town so you can't really expect 5 star cabs. Depending on if you are calling during peak hours (school year, football games, friday/saturday late night) you typically will wait about an hour or so. I have a cab driver that I request and call any time I want a cab. His name is Dan and he is great! We call him "Dan the Man". He is really nice and will always put priority to customers who treat him nicely. Dan is great to talk to and is very friendly. Even at 3am there is still a smile on his face! Dan makes Morgantown cabs 5-star. read more

Waiting for an hour and a half is a very normal thing in this city. I can play 10 FIFA 15 matches if I want before the cab arrives. And oh, I have never heard cab drivers dissing on the phone in my life until I tried this one over here. read more

My stepson wait for two hours on a Cab as a matter fact why am Ryan is he still waiting he called at 6:18 it is now 826. The dispatcher lie to us three times what she said to Cab was on his way. Next she said the Cab a call and we didn't answer we all have iPhone 7 we would've know if she called we would've seen it in recent calls we would've heard it we been waiting for the call. And then she told us that the cat was downtown would be there any minute when we talk to the cabbie he was across town at the mile ground. So then I got upset and I decided to call the dispatcher and explain to her the problem she cursed me and hung up the phone sent from now on out I will deal with Motownfuck yellow Cab read more

This taxi company is the WORST! They are rude. The guy yelled at me and hung up on me when I asked why the taxi I had called OVER an hour ago wasn't here yet. His response was also 'We'll get there when we get there'. The cabs are dirty and falling apart as well. We need to have another taxi company open up but this cab company throws a fit and stops it from happening. Write to WV PSC, P.O. Box 812, Charleston WV 25323. State your experience with Yellow Cab and why we need Motown Taxi in Morgantown. read more

Called to get a ride from Morgantown at midnight and they said they would be there in 10 mins and never showed up I called again and ask them where they was and they said I was not there to get picked up and I was not getting a cab because it was a prank or something to rob the driver really I used to be a cab driver in Fairmont and I know the business by the back of my hand so I called Motown taxi and their service was wonderful and so was the driver I explained to him the problem and he said PSC was looking in on them I said about time they can go to he** I will never call them again read more

I was looking for a cab to go to the WVU basketball game. I read all the bad reviews and used them anyway. My driver was Larry and was awesome. He showed up on time and picked us up and brought us back. I was impressed with the service. Thanks yellow cab!!!!! If you use them definitley ask for Larry, great guy!!! read more

Can't get anyone to answer the damn phone on a Friday night after 10 minutes of trying. Where is Uber?!!!!

Every time I actually get a cab (mind you, not often because after waiting 2 hours I generally give up), The driver shows up in a cab that's completely run down and usually appears to be using illegal substances. They smoke in the cabs even though Mon County has a no-smoking ban on all businesses. I'm so thankful I found DubVSafeRide as a safe, cost effective alternative. read more

This might be one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with in my entire life. I have lived in morgantown for 6 years, only using this company out of necessity and never had a positive experience once.  They are consistently rude, late, and normally don't even answer the phone and will hang up on you at a minutes notice. Haha and notice how the one "good review" was written by a person who works for the company. Oh and in regards to "Dan" the taxi driver below that claims to actually "care about his clients" and take his job professionally.  Well I tried to give him a shot. I called him at 1120 for a pickup. He told me he'd be at my house by 12. 1210 comes around and still no Dan. I call him and he says hes 5 minutes away. 40 minutes later at 1250 he still hasn't arrived, so I call him back and he doesnt answer his phone or respond to text messages. Completely decided to bail on me! He didn't even have the professionalism or courtesy to tell me he wasn't coming. This is not the first driver I've had stop answering their phone and bail on an agreed upon pickup. If you need a ride in Morgantown do yourself a favor and use dubv saferide.  They are an up and coming company that actually TRIES and takes their job seriously.  I hope they put yellow cab out of business. read more

If I could give zero star I would. The dispatch is rude and even hangs up on you when you have the "nerve" to complain about the long wait. I have used their services several times and even when I call long before I am still late because they take forever. Nobody apologizes and they act like they're doing you a favor. I guess they are still in service because there's no competition!!! read more

Was not in a cab but experienced rude, unsafe behavior and driving from one of their finest. Was driving on University Avenue approaching the intersection with Collins Ferry Road. I was not speeding and clearly had the right of way, but the taxi pulled from Collins Ferry into my northbound lane, nearly hitting me. As the driver passed (somehow an accident was avoided) he stuck his arm out, directly at me making an obscene gesture and yelling obscenities. My grandchildren in the back seat got quite a show. I called the taxi company upon arriving home who took a report, but doubtful anything will be done to this miserable piece of garbage. It certainly wasn't anything good for this company whose cabs are horribly smelling to even follow in traffic and I'm guessing worse inside. With the newer taxi service in town one would think they would be doing all they could to improve. After this evening, I'm guessing not. read more

If there was no stars available, I would have gave Morgantown cab company none. I have called for a cab to either take me to work or home after work a hour in advance and they are ALWAYS 40 minutes to an 1hr/1/2. They never answer the phone when you try calling back to inform them no one has come for you or they make up some excuse like "you wasn't in the right spot." When you call in the morning there is always a rude grumpy man that is so disrespectful. I hate this cab company and wish they would do us all a favor and shit down. The worse service ever read more

Do not use this terrible service. Call Motown Taxi instead. I flew into Morgantown and tried to call yellow cab and it just rang and rang and rang. . . I tried again later and it just rang and rang and rang. . . I called Motown and was in my cab headed for my hotel in less than 20 minutes. read more

Rude rude rude. I called over an hour ago and was told someone would be on their way. When I called to check on the status a angry man answered the phone and yelled 'I already told you it would take awhile, I'm taking you off the list!' Then told me to call back in an hour just to get back on the list. Assholes. read more

I have been using this cab service for about 3 years, give or take&within that time, the overall service has done nothing but decline horrendously. Im not typically one to complain about a company or write a bad review, let alone, write one at all, but this needed to be said&brought to others, especially management/business owners&fellow paying customers attention. Not only have i went from using this company daily to pretty much not at all..the last time was about a month ago, when i called an hour ahead of the time i needed picked up to schedule my pickup time extra early&still waited close to 2 hours, even after calling the dispatch back numerous times to find out the problem..but they're no excuse for that long of a wait regardless of the reason, yet, i sympathized&remained nice&friendly..anyways that was the first time i had used them in about 3/4 months, realizing why i hadn't used them in so long.. Anyways, thismorning i call them to ask for a cab from the suncrest town centre area to Brookhaven road in&back..that which immediately became clear to me was going to be a problem when the dispatcher became extremely rude towards me simply for answering his question when he asked if i was getting dropped off or returned, to which i answered like i just explained, only i wasnt able to finish responding because he rudely interrupted&cut me off by saying that he, nor any of his drivers on the clock had the time to wait for me at the location i request to be taken to, even though I had explained that i only had to run in&out, to which he interrupted me again, saying once more how no driver had the time for that&if i "just HAD to be returned, that i might as well be prepared for an hour or more wait" to which i respond by saying, "No, i dont want to waste any more of your precious time you are so short on, so ill call Motown Taxi like i should've done to begin with&normally do now, but my apologies for burdening you with my outrageously requested service." read more

Morgantown yellow cab is terrible , given the number of times I have called to get a cab it takes the driver 30-45 mins to arrive which is just ridiculous.. and the cabs smelltterrible, the reps who pick up the phone are rude and behave as if you're a nuisance. etc . Morgantown needs another cab company and needs to work on its public transportation. It's terrible. read more

This may not be the greatest or most professional taxi service in the world, but all the drivers I have had have been competent, and friendly, especially one that doesn't work there anymore. They get you where you have to go. It is the only game in town so it is what it is, but the company would benefit from an overhaul. read more

Absolutely horrible! Dealt with this service several times and you have to wait hours if you get a cab at all! Dispatch is downright rude! Cabs are disgusting and very unsafe. I really have no clue how the cabs pass state inspection. read more

Yellow cab in morgantown wv has to be the most unprofessional and disrespectful company I have ever dealt with. It happened the first week of January in 2015. I called a cab at about 5:30 to take me across campus to my friends it was cold and I didn't feel like walking. The cab never showed, I tried to call multiple times to see if they were still coming. every time it would either beep like it was busy or beep ring endlessly. Needless to say I thought this meant my cab was coming, then they show up at 1015 and call me to pick me up. FIVE HOURS LATER I shit you not. This isn't the first time they had pulled something like this. On top of that they are rude from the moment you call to the moment they drop you off. They are essentially a drug addicted band of clowns disguised as a legitimate business. read more

My brother and I live across town from each other and he was supposed to come up this weekend but the cab to pick him up just never showed up even though they said it would be about an hour. read more

THIS IS VERY TERRIBLE TAXI SERVICE EVER ! I am a student with no car in Morgantown, so I rely on public transportation, either bus, prt or a cab. I used to take cab a lot from doing groceries when i have a lot of stuffs to bring. till I realize that this cab consistently doing terrible job. 1) It makes people wait for hours even in the cold and already make calls for several times. Still, the customer service person will give uncertain answer about when the cab is about to come. 2) I was in a situation when i had to take an aptitude test in the early morning at 8 so i called a cab at 6, but till almost 8, the cab doesn't come. I was so desperate because it's a big deal of test for my future and it's expensive. I called the cab several times till the last call i say that i'm gonna miss my test in a few minutes. Then suddenly, the CS (customer service) person say, why don't u tell me earlier? " At some point i think I make mistake by not saying what I will do earlier, BUT is a taxi service need to know what its customer will do in the destination ? is it their business ? a good taxi company is always prioritize each of their customer based on first come first serve, who's call first, that's being served first. If the cab ask what the customer will do and how important it is, everyone who call the cab is definitely say mine is important, so if they can use the right way of thinking, no matter what the customer will do in the destination, the cab job is only get the customer to destination in order, because every single customer is important. 3) I was in a very sick condition from campus. I was in a high fever. I called a cab from library. As usual waiting for hours till the driver give a call, but he didn't know where the downtown library is. I had to explain every single details about the location when I was outside in front of library in a winter weather. I'm trying so hard to get him to the location while I was sick. Finally, I got in to the cab, but it was inconvenient, it was a gross cab and there was a lady sit next to the driver, didn't seem to be a customer because they talked informally and kinda argued about some stuffs. I was really wanna get out of the cab early, it's inconvenient for customer if they are being served that way. Personal stuffs keeps it and do it personally, not when working time especially when there are customers in the car. 4) I called a cab for my friend at 6.30 am who is gonna go out of town. The bus is at 8.10 am from mountaineer st. when I called and said I need a cab by 7.30, the CS person says that he is not sure if he could get me a cab by that time. So I ask what time is the latest and he is not sure either. Then okay I'll wait. By 7 Am, I called again just to make sure if he think he can get me the cab by the time or not, because if it isn't then my friend and I take an alternative by walking before it's too late, because there is no other public transportation running in the early morning on that day. If I waited for hours like usual, then my friend would miss the bus and the plane, therefore I call the cab to make sure, not to complain. But You might probably never imagine, what the CS person says to me. I was asking "do you think you still can get me a cab by 7.30?" before I finish my words and explanation he suddenly gets angry and put the blame on me, he said " we already sent you a cab and call you but you didn't answer bla bla bla ...Now we can't get you a cab" with a high tone and unending words. And I said "no one is calling me.." before I finish my words, he hang up the phone. That is really harsh. I felt terrible, I thought I did mistake for my friend since I have limited balance, but when my friend check to call me and surprisingly my phone is ringing. So definitely , the CS guy is made up a reason. So be careful ! This reminded me that they ever did it to me before, exactly with the same way and same reason. Now, I know, it seems they want to reduce the load of carrying passangers . It is so rude the way they reject customer while they are in a high demand is by putting the blame on the customer. I don't know what exactly is going on in this company and how they managed it so terrible. My friend and I ended up walking 45 minutes by carrying luggage all the way to mountaineer station passing through the high way. And unbelievable, I saw a cab on my way of walking stopping by in a place. read more

Hands down worst cab company in the US. We called for a cab at 6:30 pm on an ordinary Monday night. Two hours later they still hadn't shown up. Called back and the dispatcher was extremely rude. I will drive drunk before I call them again. They should just close their doors read more

OMG!!! I called the cab at 9:30 and wanted to leave my friend's home. The cab came at 1140. It was so embarrassing for me, and I'm truly offended. One out of five is too much for them. read more
