Don't bother calling -- very unreliable and rude

by aeria

We knew New Year's Eve is the busiest time for a cab in LA, so we called ahead to reserve a car. 20 minutes late and 5 minutes until our dinner reservation and still no cab. Worst of all, when we called to see what happened, the dispatcher lied and claimed the cab picked someone up at our address and we'd have to wait 45 minutes for another. Ha! No apology at all. We'll never call Checker Cab again.

• Cons: horrible service, unreliable, discourteous

They'll get you there -- fast

I called for a cab and it showed up in a matter of minutes. I was going to LAX and seemingly had a good shot at missing my plane, but the driver high-tailed it o the airport and I made it just fine.
