Yellow United Cab

Was late for 10 minutes. I need to call them 3 times asking where my cab is. then when my cab came, he didnt know where ill go which is just around glendale and he drives really slow that got me paying him $ 12 just for a 2 miles drive…

I like these guys! The driver arrived right on time (I had booked one day in advance over the phone), was very warm and helpful. The only drawback I thought was that they were a bit overpriced, the cost from burbank airport to glendale was $ 29.00 without the tip and they asked for $ 35 without the tip. Apart from that, the car was clean and good service. I wish I remembered the driver’s name, he was very nice.

Called me after arranging a taxi then called back to say they didn’t have any 15 mins later, almost causing me to miss my flight.

I’m a little torn on this one. First of all, the drive was fine, the car was clean, and the driver was nice. However, I called expecting a taxi and what I got was a car service. It was very early and I needed to get to the airport, so I went with it (my first mistake). The drive was very pleasant, no traffic that early from Glendale to LAX. But, when we got there and I asked how much, he pondered for a moment and said, «$ 90.» I had researched the cab rates and was expecting more like $ 70. I tried to ask why the extra charge, but he sort of ignored the question and just proceeded to run my card.
I should’ve known better than to get in when it wasn’t an actual metered taxi and I should’ve pushed harder or haggled the price at the end, but it is what it is. I take partial responsibility for it, but I didn’t appreciate feeling taken advantage of when I had specifically called for a taxi reservation. Side note, the name of the damn place is «Yellow United Cab»!! I feel misled.

Great service! I was in a bind and needed transportation last minute. Called yellow united and they were able to send someone to pick me up. Very friendly driver, clean car and very reliable. They were able to pick me up on time and take me to where I needed to go. Everything turned out as planned. Thanks yellow united!

Awesome! Found myself in a last minute situation of
needing a ride to the Airport from Los Feliz. We were picked up 15-​minutes after I called and arrived in excellent time. Many thanks! The car was clean and driver pleasant.

From very first moment i like the service they provide, they arrived 5 minutes before the promised time and also The drivers very nice, and resonable prices. I highly recomend there services.

Don’t be surprised when you’re left sitting at the curb… There was a time when they were reliable, but after waiting on a dark lonely deserted street for over 45 minutes when they said 5 – 15 minutes… I wouldn’t trust them.

I called 50 minutes ago for a taxi. I’m still waiting. I had to call the company THREE TIMES and all I get is, «We’re sorry. 7 – 8 more minutes.» I’m going to miss an appointment because of this.
UPDATE:
Well, it seems that all the taxis in Glendale go through one call center whether it’s People’s Cab, City Cab, Yellow Cab… Each cab service lists their own telephone number, but then the call gets directed to ONE call center. So when you put in an order for a cab, calling an HOUR ahead of time, and your cab is and HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE, you can’t call any other cab service in Glendale. God knows I tried when I sat there waiting and waiting and waiting for the cab I ordered to show up. When they DID show up the guy parked halfway down the block rather that in front of the address I gave them. This has to be the WORST taxi experience I’ve ever had and I paid $ 40 for it (went to Staples Center). Next time, I’m calling a car service ahead of time because the local taxi service is completely unreliable! How can they stay in business when they treat customers this way???

A little more than I wanted to pay, but on short notice I got to lax from Glendale in a clean, comfortable, good smelling town car with a very courteous driver. 80 for the trip

called ahead of time. the guy was on time. very polite and nice. I’ll be using their services in the future. thank you Artak (driver).

So expensive but it get the job done when you want a night out on the town without having to worry about a DD.
I always like talking with taxi drivers. They’re always from a foreign and they usually have interesting and funny stories.
It’s really a gamble which driver you get, some are hysterical and some are dicks. But either way you’ll get where you need to get to… just with a lighter wallet.

I was a little wary but I gave them a try and had a decent experience. I would use them again. I called them at 5:30 pm on a Wednesday evening for a ride to the Burbank airport that same night at 7:15. They only pick up from Glendale. My location was Glendale bordering Burbank. I asked for an estimate of the cab fare to the airport from where I was and was quoted $ 20 max. The cab arrived early. The driver was friendly but the cab was old and beaten up. It was a hot evening and there was no AC on so I rolled my window down. The total fare was exactly $ 20 or maybe $ 20.20. I was only about 6 miles from the airport.

B.S.!!
I traveled 2.7 miles and «Yellow United» charged me $ 14 (without tip). They charged more than a dollar a minute for a 10 minute trip ($ 3.60 a mile).
I was going to my great mechanic (hopefully reliable restorations–
)
Watching the meter climb in awe, I felt like I was being scammed. The driver explained that if I had chosen «Yellow Cab» it would have cost $ 2.70 a minute. But Sarkis (# 331) didn’t speak English well enough to communicate why «Yellow United» gets to charge .90 more, per mile, than any other cab service in the world.
I’ve lived in New York and have taken more cabs than almost any Angeleno I know. A dollar a minute is more than some lawyers make. Something’s fishy with Yellow-​United and my experience did NOT match the one that my fellow Unilocalers had. Unilocal on, Unilocal on.

We just had a TERRIBLE experience with a company called Black and White Limousine Service (see my review for the full scoop!). But, the upside was that Yellow Cab came to our rescue! They were there in 10 minutes flat and the driver had a GPS system that helped us bypass traffic conjestion along the route to LAX. Our driver was friendly, helpful, sympathic and totally professional and together. They are an underrated company– they were excellent in the service they provided for us.

«I gave L a rabbit vibrator for her birthday.»
«Oooh! How do you like it?»
«Well, there’s no heat, no passion. It’s just not the same as being with a guy.»
«I’ve seen K’s boobs. Her nipples are like pink rose petals.»
And this is how our conversations went on during our 30 minute taxi ride from the LA Harbor to LAX. Not once did our taxi driver bust out laughing. AMAZING! Seven girls divulging in their sex lives, coming straight from a bachelorette party on a cruise ship. It looked like a scene from «Sex and the City.» The driver should have paid US — we were providing him with half an hour of free R-​rated entertainment early in the morning!
A bit of advice: if you are in a group of 4 or more and need to get from the LA Harbor to LAX, I’d recommend taking a taxi waiting outside the terminal and the ride will cost about $ 45. Had we known this on the way there, we could have saved $ 30. Take the Super Shuttle if you’re in a group of 3 or less.
I was just reminded of that show «Taxicab Confessions.» Be careful of what you say in a taxi!
