If you are like me, you don't own a car, but occasionally find yourself needing to get from point a to point b, and public transport simply won't do. You *could* buy a car, but if you need to make less than 10 such round trips a month - or if you plan to do it drunk, high, or otherwise unable to drive - then a cab is probably for you. At roughly $1/minute, a cab isn't cheap if you do it often, but then, owning a car has a pretty high initial monthly cost itself.
As for Yellow Cabs themselves, there's not much to say. You can call their number and have a cab sent to you - depending on the time, the night, your luck, and your location, one will show up anywhere from 1 minute to 15 minutes. Usually, you get a phone call when your cab arrives.

I’ve been using this taxi for many years and I always ask for the same driver named Walter. He is in the business for a long time, and I know that he will never be late, never ask for money, and never come in a car that is not extra clean. That is all I’m looking for when I need ride.

I needed a ride to the airport for a business trip and found this company on Google (towncar services are the same price as a taxi, and much more comfy). I was leery about booking online (the form is old school), but it turns out that I didn't have any reason to worry.
On the day of my flight, they showed up a few minutes early in a very clean and new towncar of some American variety (Lincoln, I reckon?). The driver was courteous but didn't want to chat, which was a-ok with me. I fell asleep in the backseat and woke up when we got to the airport.
The fare was $45 from Ballard, and I tipped 15%. They take all credit cards. I would definitely use them again for airport transportation.

I always use Shuttle Park 2 when I go out of town. Why? Once you know how to get there, they take care of you. Go thru the gate and follow the signs to park your car. Get out of car and wait for the shuttle to pick you up. Once you're in the shuttle, grab a complimentary bottle of water. Sit back, relax, and you'll be at the main terminal in 7-8 minutes. Reverse the process on the way back - you get the picture. They have web coupons on their website and you can get a discount for parking a week at a time.

We used Shuttle Express' town car service to and from the airport in May '05 and it was great. The driver called to confirm the day before and was on time for the 4AM pickup. She handled all of our luggage with ease (very impressive), helped get the kids' car seats buckled in properly, and was very pleasant on the drive to the airport. The car was clean and roomy. All in all, it was well worth the cost, which was roughly equivalent to what we would have paid to park at the airport.

I just wanted to say that the #41 is awesome. Recently, i switched jobs and have been commuting downtown for the first time ever. Since i have to walk the dogs every morning...which of course puts me behind in getting to the busstop (yes, blaming the dogs:) , I'm always just barely to the transit centre on time. The bus driver with the beard & accent (sorry didn't catch a name) that arrives not too long before 8am is great! I've driven at my previous job so much that, even when not driving i can't help but feel a little like a back seat driver and am always watching how the drivers make their way thru heavy I-5 traffic. A big pat on the back to this awesome driver (who though jerky...(ie. brakes some vs. mean) every once in a while due to heavy traffic) always knows how to cut into the free-est lane, merge at the most efficient part of the downtown exiting lanes, and drives fast!! Thank goodness! This guy and the fact that the bus comes so often has been a life (or, at least job!) saver! ; )

This shuttle service is very efficient and reliable for travel between Vancouver airport and Seattle airport and various stops in between. Mainly I use it to travel between the two airports since it makes a huge difference to fly from a US state to Vancouver compared to a US state to Seattle. The extra 4 hour drive is worth the savings in money. The ride is very comfortable and usually not a packed bus. The bus drivers have all been very considerate and helps you with your luggage. As you cross the border you need to take your luggage through customs yourself but it's not hassle. The other stops include downtown Seattle, hotels, and various downtown Vancouver hotels too. The prices are reasonable and there are discounts for students and seniors. Everything runs according to schedule. No delays. Check the website out for more information. Very easy to navigate.

Do you need a ride somewhere around the Seattle area? Prime Transport Services does the best job! They are on time, (which some aren't) professional, friendly, and yes very affordable! I highly recommend this company. Their cars are new, clean, very well maintained and you ride in luxury. So if you ever need a ride, give them a call, they have the best rates out there!

I exclusively take orange cab from my home to SEATAC. I make this trip on average 3 times a month and have been doing so for 6 years (over that time leaving from Queen Anne, Ballard and now West Seattle). They have been late only once and normally turn up 5 mins early, but are happy to sit outside and wait on me before starting the meter. They're all nice folks and are great people to talk to. Never had a dirty car, never had a driver under the influence of anything and they have always been polite.
