Looking at reviews for cab companies in other cities makes me thankful for my recent experiences with Yellow Cab. They've been there for me when I've needed them in recent months. Like all other cab companies, it's going to be impossible to phone for one after Midnight on a weekend, but at all other times, you can give them a call and a cab will arrive at your location within 15 minutes. A Yellow Cab has never failed to show up when I've called. And all drivers will happily accept credit cards, though I wish they would accept interac, the way the Co-op cabs do.

I took a yellow cab home from a bar about a week ago. Mini-van very young nice gentleman. Maybe mid-30's. He picked me and a friend up from the druid downtown... I did drive my car - but had 2-3 drinks & I did not want to chance it.
Picked us up from the druid downtown, friend & i wanted to get mcdonalds - drove down to the oliver square mcdonalds. The drive thru line was SOOO LONG, we he asked us if we could go in. He would wait for us if we left him $$ and property. So being that he was sooo friendly & personable we gave him 40$ & left my purse in the cab (I know bad idea on my part - but I took out my wallet & cell phone). And toooo our surprise once we ordered our food brought it back out... he was gone.
HE STOLE MY PURSE & $40 to drive maybe 5 minutes TOPS!!
Next day, i get a call from wayyyy out on the North end of town - lady found my purse ditched between her car and her husbands (as my epi pen has my contact info on it) he ditched my purse & minus my digital camera. SLEEZE BALL!!!
DONT TAKE YELLOW CAB!!!!
When I spoke with the dispatchers about this - they told me it was my fault he took my purse and to stop asking about him OH and its also my fault I didn't get his name or cab # & to not call them again.
So they didn't help me either recover my things OR to give me the contact info to speak with this driver myself. -

I had the unfortunate mishap of being stuck in the middle of nowhere once, after an unsuccessful visit to the Purolator office in town, and really just wanted to be home asap. There was a bus route, but the bus came every hour, and I refused to wait around that long, especially when I was all alone.
So I called Yellow Cab, and they arrived promptly in about 10 minutes. The cab driver didn't see me and drove past me at first; he then called me (since they had my number) and turned around for me. He was friendly enough, but didn't make any attempt of small-talk, which was fine with me.
It ended up costing me $40 to get across town and get home, but I suppose that's a normal rate for that distance with cabs. I was just glad to be home! Yellow Cab takes credit cards, if you don't have any cash on hand. -

One of the better choices if you need a ride. They are the most popular cab company in the city and they run things smoothly. Unlike other companies, yellow cab is honest about their wait times and usually only take around 10 minutes during non peak times.
The cab drivers are friendly and don't really bother with small talk. I think most people enjoy when they don't. Obviously it isn't cheap but if that was your concern you probably wouldn't be taking a cab anyways. They do take credit card as well as cash. -

Yellow cab is a pretty good cab company in Edmonton. I find that the drivers are always friendly, the cabs are usually clean and the wait times are pretty decent.
Of course, there are always times when it is harder to get a cab, like late at night after the bars close. In that case you're better off just grabbing a cab along the side of the street.
The only thing that bothers me about yellow cab (and this probably goes for all cab companies) is that the drivers talk on their cell phones while driving. I don't think this is good service, nor is it safe, which is why it bothers me so much. -

Yellow Cab is the best choice for a cab in Edmonton. It's the biggest company so they have the most cars out and about.
I've come to learn that when they say 5-15 minutes, they mean it. For the most part, they are always there before 15 minutes.
At peak times, the wait can be a bit longer but they tell you that when you call.
I find the cab drivers are not very chatty which I actually prefer. I find that chit chat with cab drivers can be awkward (maybe that's just me though).
I know that this is something beyond their control but cabs are expensive these days! And even more expensive during peak hours! The rate started at over $6 after 11:00pm. That's just crazy!
But I still always call Yellow Cab when I need a cab because I know they are reliable. -

I can only agree with the rest of the reviewers on this one. Yellow Cab hasn't failed me for over a decade. I mostly use them when I have to be at the airport extremely early (like 5am) and don't feel like bothering my family to drive me there.
When they say they'll be there in 15mins, they mean it. You can even schedule a time for them to come pick you up.
Easily the best cab company in E-town. -

As someone who does not own a car, I periodically find myself in a situation where I can't get a ride with a friend and it is not feasible to take the bus. It is either too late in the evening, or I am in a part of the city not well served by public transit. So, I call a cab. When I am downtown or on the south side I often call Yellow, as those areas are well served by this company. However, I have also managed to get one from time to time in the west end. Service is typically quick and courteous. Taking a taxi is not cheap, but if you have to get where you need to go then Yellow is a definite option.
