After searching for a cab company with excellent reviews, I found Yellow Checker Cab of Berkeley. Bob the driver/contact is highly regarded by people who use him regularly for airport and other trips. 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. read more

This cab company has 3 different phone numbers and they don't realize it. I was looking for a wheelchair accessible cab so I called what I thought was three different companies which turn out to be the same company. When I called the third number, the gentleman who answered the phone yelled at me and said how many times are you gonna call me and then hung up on me. How rude and disrespectful and unprofessional. read more

I'm a repeat customer of Bob's cab service because I know he will get me, family members, and friends where we need to go on time.

I just called to ask about scheduling a ride to the Oakland airport and the guy on the phone yelled angrily at me saying "I'm in Berkeley!! PLEASE!!!" and hung up on me. Real nice of him to be so rude for literally no reason. Why does the description on Yelp say they can serve the Bay Area if that isn't true? Even their website says they service the surrounding cities around Berkeley. If you look at the other 1 star reviews on this page, you'll find a trend: hostility, anger, and being hung up on. Don't recommend even bothering with this business. read more

For many years, it was problematic for me to take a taxi from Berkeley to the Oakland or San Francisco airport. I need a taxi that will arrive at my apartment at the agreed time, and the chance of this happening with most cabs is only about 70%. The emergence of Uber and Lyft did not solve this problem. In my experience, they are simply not sufficiently reliable and foolproof. A couple of years ago I found Yellow Checker cab, and my airport problems are now over. If you arrange for Yellow Checker cab to arrive at 4 pm, they will be there at 3:55 pm. Their drivers are professional, courteous, and they know all of the shortcut tricks to avoid traffic jams. I can finally relax on travel days, knowing that Yellow Checker will get me to the airport on time. read more

Bob picked up my family of 4 with one large piece of luggage, one carry on, a booster seat and a car seat on time and got us to SFO in a timely manner on Saturday morning. He was supposed to pick us up for our return home but his car broke down so we ended up taking a Lyft home. read more

We've been using Bob for years, he's very friendly and always early. Highly recommended! As noted by another he is a great communicator and will pick you up for the return flight. read more

Their website says 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and that is a huge lie. I asked them about an early morning cab ride and they could not do that. Don't go by their website because it is not true. I would not trust anything they do. The guy hung up on me and was totally rude. No go for this one. read more

We called Bob to arrange a ride to Oakland airport at 3:30 Am. with Checkered Yellow Cabs. He arrived promptly. We called him again when we returned from our trip and he picked us up from airport. Bob is friendly and professional and dependable. You can text him for ride and he replies right away. Best to call ahead to set up a ride. read more

I have used Yellow Checker Cabs of Berkeley for many years. Bob is always on time and extremely responsive and helpful. I strongly recommend this business. read more

Over the past four years Bob has driven me to appointments and to the airport several times. He is so reliable that you never have to worry if you will get somewhere on time if you have arranged for the ride ahead of time. He is a very kind man who cares about his customers and always asks how I am and how my family is. I can't recommend him highly enough! read more

excellent service: timely, polite, and quick. he usually arrives a little early making the trip less stressful.

Bob has taken me and my family to the airport for years. Always on time, always helpful, very responsive, excellent service! He's the best.

Wonderful service and always on time. I use Yellow Checker Cabs every time I come to the Bay Area

Bob is the best!! This is the second time Bob has driven me from my home in Oakland to SFO and he's always on time (early in fact) with a super clean car and friendly disposition. Bob is a good driver too - safe and efficient. You can't go wrong with this taxi service! read more

I travel a lot and I rely on Bob to take me to and from the airport on a regular basis. No matter when I need him, he will be there. His is a service that you should book in advance, using his website if you have never hired him before,, because he's a single driver rather than a whole fleet -- he can't always pick you up at a moment's notice. But he feels a real responsibility for his customers and works hard to please them. A kind soul and a real gem. read more

Bob was very communicative and set my mind at ease for a very early morning pick up. Picked up right on time, and he was a very good driver in rather stormy and rainy conditions. Fair rates. Will use again. read more

Great cab service, always on time. Very reliable and friendly. Helpful and patient to boot.

Bob was very responsive. We booked online and he immediately responded to confirm the pickup. We had a very early flight and he was at our house early and was kind/attentive the entire time. Highly recommend. read more

Great prompt service. Bob takes care to help me as I walk with a cane. He also is often available or will find someone who is. Bob is so reliable he is like one's personal limo! Very courteous, very helpful!! read more

We rode with Bob this morning to Oakland International Airport and had a smooth ride and the best company! Bob is a great person to ride with, with very reasonable prices. We will use him anytime we need a ride! read more

Bob is our go to airport ride. Always reliable and considerate. Been using his business for quite a few years. Particularly for the long trek to SFO from the North Berkeley hills. read more

Totally unreliable. Kept lying to me. Saying I'm sending them to you now. Half hour later, they hadn't even left and were getting gas. Finally called a friend in tears and they picked me up. Don't know if the cab showed up ever or not. read more

What can I say about Bob. Bob is a really friendly guy he's easy to talk to he's on time he drives that nice vehicle and he get you to where you want to go and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. You can talk to him about fairs and how much it will cost you and if it runs over sometimes there's wiggle room. I've used Yellow Checker Cabs three or four times now and I'm sure I will be calling him again. He does pick ups for the airport from East Bay to Oakland Airport which is real convenient. Oh ya. Thanks for the Christmas eCard. Nice touch Bob. And by the way I forgot to mention he works with another guy who is also just as nice as he is. read more

Super reliable pickup from Albany to the airport. His car was older but rode fine and Bob is a great driver. I will definitely be asking for him again. read more

Bob has been serving us for about 25 years weathering changes in family, health issues, covid, and all that has happened in that time. He never once failed us. We most often use him for airport trips and he has always been timely, safe, and easy to work with. We hired him once for a dinner party in Salinas (from Berkeley), including a stop in Palo Alto to pick up some friends--impeccable service and made what could have been a long stressful day quite easy. He waited while we had a wonderful evening with friends. I do recommend that one book as soon as one can commit--since covid his fleet has shrunk and they do get all booked up at times. I cannot imagine better , more pleasant or more reliable service. read more

Bob is so great! We always call him when our family is headed to the airport. We often have very early flights and we schedule him ahead of time. He shoes up on time, or family of four fits in his car with all our stuff, he is kind and courteous, and he's a safe driver. Hooray! read more

Bob at Yellow Checker Cabs is wonderful and such a pleasure to ride with. He is always on time or early, very courteous, always pleasant and his cab is always clean. I highly recommend him to pick you up anywhere in the East Bay. Jay D read more

I got a very early flight to the Oakland airport. Bob was already waiting and ready for me when I got out of my house. Very professional, on-time and easy to deal with. Much more dependable than Uber or Lyft for airport rides! read more
