Top Cab

This cab company changed my life. Here’s the back story — I was headed home from O’Hare following a work trip in Cincinnati. I got into cab 2200 in a bad mood. I was tired, hungry and generally defeated. The cab driver was a large man with a thick accent and poor hearing. When we reached my apartment, he explained that his credit card machine was not operating. He also noted that he could not accept my company card. I reluctantly provided my personal credit card, yelled at him for the inconvenience and slammed the door. I ran upstairs infuriated. I planned to call the cab company and report him. Unable to reach a dispatcher, I left a voice message and went out to eat with my boyfriend. Soon after. Top Cab called me. I had left my company laptop in the back of the car. The cab driver that I was so rude to earlier drove out of his way to return the device. I was so grateful. He left me with this important piece of advice — «Slow down!» I will take it to heart. I’m sorry for rushing and yelling following my cab ride. Thank you cab 2200 and Top Cab for the excellent customer service. I will be better customer next time. You have my word.

I think i left my keys in a cab and im trying to contact this business. No one answers their phones. Any ideas how I can reach them. In chicago. Cab number 6491. My email is
. HELP!

I left my briefcase in a cab. I’ve called the phone number but nobody answers. I also have the cab number on the receipt i rode in. Can someone please help.

Please help me to leave a better tip for cab driver #4998/​service date 7÷23÷15. He did excellent service and had a great attitude. I goofed, he tried to help but my husband and kids were yelling to rush me on the outside. I tried calling ((773)506−4900 but nobody answers.
Thank You.

My taxi cab driver performed a random act of kindness that I think should be known. After a couple too many dirty martinis on a Friday night I (stupidly) exited the cab without my purse. My friend paid for the cab, so I had no information on even what cab company to contact regarding my missing items. It was pretty much a lost cause and I gave up on the search shortly after receiving voicemails I knew wouldn’t be answered at Chicago’s larger cab companies. I knew getting my items back was not in my hands and it would take a very thoughtful person to return my purse to the address on my ID. I knew this wasn’t likely especially with it being a new designer purse.
Mohammed not only returned my purse to the address on my ID, but all of the items in the purse were untouched. This is an act of kindness that should be recognized as he went out of his way to get these items back to me. Thank you so much Mohammed — I will never talk badly of this company!

Let me start by saying I have never used Unilocal before this, as many times that I have been tempted nothing has ever made me angry enough to leave a bad review. I must say after reading the above reviews what just happened is not so shocking. Im headed home after work. I turn left onto catalpa Ave between Lincoln and western. I look in my rear view mirror and I see a cab with no headlights come fly up on my ass. I tap my brakes repeatedly to alert the driver to turn their headlights on. She then rides my ass, swerves, almost hits me, flicks me off, and squeals her tires around the corner. I followed her into a gas station about a block away, to tell her that her head lights were turned off, and ask what her problem is. She proceeds to punch the gas, blocks me from going forward, almost hits my car, and flicks me off AGAIN! I pulled around her to leave at this point. She followed me back down western ave swerving all crazy, so I pulled over to call 311 and she drove away. As I was on the phone making a complaint, I saw her come back around so I drove away to park my car, as to avoid any further altercations. I now understand why this company has 1 star. I would give this company a negative 2 based on my experience and the other reviews. The owner or management should most definitely look into hiring some new drivers! I tried to call the cab company and of course there was no answer, I’ll try again tomorrow. This was an Asian lady driver and her cab # is 2533. I’d rather walk in the cold then ever get in one of these cabs! Very erratic, crazy behavior. Smdh.

Left turn lane, 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, 3÷1÷2014. My turn blocked by CRV so I am physically unable to make turn. Traffic light turns red, I do not make left turn. Cab 421 driver from Top Cab behind me goes ballistic and threatens me. I am in the the process of making a formal complaint.

Never ever ever ever ever again. I was harrassed by cab driver 4045 this morning around 4am. He asked if I was paying cash or credit and He asked over and over how I’m going to pay, if I have money and how much money do I have. I asked why he was asking me this and he said you better pay for this ride. I said I have plenty of money he asked me to show him. He threatened to call the cops because I didn’t show him money and I was «drunk». Aren’t can rides a safe way home? He also said that I have baggage and he don’t wanna hear my problems. All this time I was recording on my cell phone and he yelled at me and jumped out the car and I got out then he took off. Can anyone tell me how I can report this guy?

I have never had the pleasure of riding in one of these cabs, however, about 3 hours ago… merging onto 55 towards the city this cab cuts me off to the point that everything in my vehicle made its way to the floor boards. (good start to the fog) watched this guy jogging through 3 lanes of traffic, back and forth, no signals, no mirror usage, just as if no one else was on the road. (rush hour) This went on for about 4 miles… he was in front of me, behind me, all over the place. I literally spoke with other drivers who were like, «WTF». This guy clearly should not be driving, or have a license period. I don’t write reviews often, but for what its worth, stay away from these, um, well, you know. Top Cab, you should seriously reconsider not just giving jobs to the next shit stain that comes along. Do us a favor, and go out of business. Unilocal,please consider the option of at least a «no star» option. It only makes sense.
Oh yeah, cab #3339, your an idiot.

there isn’t a zero star to give? cab driver 2407 you know who you are you almost killed me and my fiancée!!! along with 3 people!!! jezus fucken Christ can you say road rag? anger problems? nthreaten to kill us? held up traffic because you decieded to racial slur my fiancée? or threaten to beat me up? its okay I filed a police report and the number you guys have to be contacted is invalid!

I’m back from a long Unilocal hiatus to join the rag on these guys. Took a «Top Cab» home from Wicker Park last night, and I have to tell you, my driver was a grade-​A, certified asshat. First off, when I told him to make a right on a certain street to get me home, he corrected me, «don’t you mean left?». I said «no, I mean right», and he asked me «why I was telling him how to get there». Maybe I was telling him how to get there because I live there and he was driving me the wrong way, but I’m not entirely sure in retrospect. When it came time to pay, the driver’s credit card machine was quite transparently broken, at which point he proceeded to complain about how credit cards «are a waste of time and money». I told him that it’s the law for cabbies to let us to use them, at which point he said «you don’t need to tell me that». Bottom line: next time I hail a cab, I’ll likely be too fucked up to look and see if it’s a «Top Cab» or not, so I’ll probably get in it anyway. But for those of you who tend to get in cabs soberly, do not flag down these fools!

Can you give negative stars? Had an altercation with a driver today who thought he had the right of way (he did not). He tried to block my car with his cab and then screamed at me that I was a «bitch» Learn the streets downtown you assholes!!! Should have seen his face when i pulled out my phone to take his picture. Yes, cab 5611 you have been reported to the police. Also while so vigilantly trying to block me, he almost hit a pedestrian who screamed!

Took cab last night one stop to drop a friend then to our hotel. Tab under 20.00. Try to hand him a 20.00 he won’t take it, says he can’t break it. Rude. My daughter gives him exact change instead. Then left wallet in cab. Several attempts by us and hotel to reach cab company and no answer either of the numbers. Hotel checked surveillance video, found name from there and had written down cab number because guy was so rude and I knew he could change a 20.00. Should have called 311 like keven c. From other review. Great idea.

A driver tried to refuse credit card payment on me tonight. I tried repeatedly to get him to accept payment, and he continued refusing and demanding cash. I finally called 311, who told me to call 911. Had to call the cops over this. Very annoyed. Will actively avoid flagging down anything «top cab» ever again.

The cabbie (who is listed on my credit card bill as DAMIRBEK PRIMBERDI because he used a square iphone credit card payment system) helped himself to to some extra cash for his tip after I already gave him over 20% for a short ride, in no traffic to the west loop from lakeview. I’m on the phone disputing the charge now.
