St Albert Taxi

We called St. Albert taxi to take us to the village transit center as we are not locals and couldn’t figure out where the stop was for the nearest local bus. I agree with Derek about the dispatcher being a bit brisk on the phone. He seemed to get a little impatient when he tried to get me off the phone quickly and I stopped him mid goodbye to ask what doors they usually pull up at at Servus Place. I understand with it being the weekend and there also being a festival in town they were probably busy but again I am not a local and they should be prepared to get questions from out of towners.
The timing of the cab however was right on the dot. I mean literally on the dot as I was quoted 20 minutes and the driver showed up exactly at the 20 minute mark. The vehicle was a little older and had that «old car smell» about it but it was still clean and comfortable. The driver was very nice as well as very professional. He didn’t attempt to make any awkward small talk and took us right to our destination without trying to take a more scenic route to pad his fare. He even went to the trouble of getting out and opening my door for me as according to him the button on the door required extra force and he didn’t want to see me break my nice nails. I definitely appreciated the extra courtesy as well as the compliment.
If you can forgive the chilly reception of the dispatcher on the phone I think St. Albert Taxi is a great choice for getting around (alot better for sure than some of the companies in Edmonton) and we will definitely use them again next time we visit.

I called St. Albert Taxi the dispatcher was just a complete asshole. Then he said 5 minutes the drive showed up 20minutes late. The driver argued with me saying i cant pay debit when it says i can. Then while driving the driver calls someone and starts yelling at someone over the phone. The when we got there it said 7 dollars so i gave him a 10 and he just sat there looking at me then asked is this all i said i would like change and he said he didn’t have any so he couldn’t. I will never use there service again!
I would rate lower but it wouldn’t let me
