- ZAC11/22/2024I had an amazing experience with my Cab Driver 256, Badge # 16097. They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and got to my destination safely and on the way from airport he took me to Bank to update my address and then took me to Registry Office to change my Health card. He was very friendly, professional, and even helped me with my luggage. I truly appreciate their exceptional service and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and courteous ride. Thank you for making my journey so pleasant!
- Ginny Wong9/09/2024I have had really good experience with Checker cabs. Recently I have a mobility issue and the drivers always go above and beyond to make sure I get on and off safely, and to make sure I get in wherever I'm going. It's basically concierge service. Special shoutout to Solomon (#1610)!!
- Jason Hollyoake4/01/2024I recently called my go to cab company March 23rd. I had some pain that I didn't know what it was but didn't want to walk the short distance. Car 434 a young feller was my driver. He took me home without charging me a arm & a leg. Come Monday I ended up in hospital with a hernia that past and caused so much pain. I'm forever greatful to him !!
- Sara Patterson3/25/2024This is such a great cab company . I recently broke my ankle .. with the cab driver present! He was soo amazing helping me into my home, helping me call 911 and just pure professionalism. Thank you so much for your help for going the extra mile to help me!! So much appreciated!!
- Michelle B1/10/2024The cab drivers were very helpful, very nice. They got my mom to and from the hospital while I was there and were very reliable. The last one I took noticed I was moving slow and went over bumps slowly and tried to keep the jostle to a minimum so as not to hurt me more coming from the hospital and then gave directions to get us on the right road home once he got us to our car. I would 100% use again.
- Joyce Perkoh12/22/2022Checker Cab is the best I used this service today and I always use only this service but today was exceptional, As Cab driver Simran #707 went out of the way to help me, Whether it's about renting a house or how to be a owner of the house he educated me and encouraged me to be a owner instead of being a tenant, After that I mentioned I have to call a mechanic as my car is showing Check engine light and hand brake sign is not going, As an Angel 😇 he said you don't have to call anyone and he bring me back to my car and fix the check engine light and fix the hand brake too, and it saved me time & Money which would have cost me arms & Legs, after fixing my car he didn't even took money for the fare and Said save it for your new house and left me in tears, Truly a God sent Angel 😇.
- Paul Christensen10/28/202210/10 service from this company. Been using them for years and love the feature to lock in your fare when you pay through the app. Have to shout-out Simran cab #707 he treated me like family, with care and attention to my needs and those around us. If you're lucky enough to get a ride from him you'll never use Uber again! 10/10 service from this company. Been using them for years and love the feature to lock in your fare when you pay through the app. … More
- Danny Otando10/27/2022Had a very nice experience with one of your drivers. Yesterday I missed the bus while heading to school and I was running a bit late. So I called for a cab and car 1671 showed up in just a few minutes! We had a nice and enjoyable conversation on the way to school and the car was spick and span. But at the end of the ride, I tried to pay with my debit card but it didn't go through. He offered me a free ride to a nearby 7-11 so I could get some cash from the ATM they have there. He also gave me a discount for the whole ride. I offered to give a $5 tip for the 7-11 trip but he said he was good. He dropped me off right in front of the school and I ended up coming on time. I will definitely continue using this company whenever necessary! Sorry I didn't catch his name. Had a very nice experience with one of your drivers.

- Patsy Stewart12/17/2021It is freezing cold out tonight., I was cold and in pain. The dispatcher told the driver I needed assistants, I found out. THANK YOU! This wonderful young man who picked me up said sit back and relax you will be home soon, are you still cold. He was so pleasant, I thought I was driving with one of my sons. This young man is from India and drove cab701.What an excellent representative for Checker Cabs.
- faith jinji12/17/2021I just wanted to say out of all the Drivers from Checker cab that have assisted me Tahir (#1310) was the best. Unfortunately my hands were so cold I accidentally tapped the 4th star, in my opinion Tahir is the epitome of excellent customer service. He deserves all the stars and more.He spoke to my kids and made us laugh, as he noticed one of my kids was tired. He waited for me to pick up my kids and brought us home safely.To Tahir my daughter said you are so nice and was happy I gave you a little thank you I know it wasn’t substantial, I would ideally give more but I just wanted you to get a warm drink as you work outdoors.Stay safe and stay blessed for I know God will bless you abundantly. I left your team a message to pass on to you, for you are an amazing person. Keep doing what you do.Windsor Park Lady :)
- Len Eau11/08/2021Update .... THANK YOU to the outstanding driver that picked my family up at the airport! The vehicle was exceptionally clean and the driver was outstanding!Just downloaded the Checker App ... awesome! Was able to pre-book a time call to pick me up after the Flames game and knowing the car number was easy to make sure the car was for me. Only wish I could know who the driver was in advance. Recommend everyone "tap that app"!
- Paul Cormier10/21/2021Pre-booked Checker Cab pick-up at Stage West after the show. Booking time was 9:40 pm and driver arrived promptly at 9:40 pm! Couldn't ask for better service. Driver was courteous and drove us directly to our hotel nearby. Even though it wasn't long or expensive, the driver remained professional and advised that they service all requests. Well done. Will definitely use Checker next time as we are season ticket holders. I expect to receive the same level of service again, and again.
- Gina Ranni10/20/2021Checker Cabs have always been there for us when we needed to get somewhere! Whether it be to a gala, a girls night out, a party, to a friends house or in a great time of need like when my car broke down. Checker has always been quick to respond, on time, professional, personable and has always given me a sense of safety. Booking is so streamlined either by using the mobile app or just by picking up the phone to call. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND A BIG THANK YOU!
- Neil10/20/2021I have been using Checker Cabs for many years now they are my go to taxi company whenever I need a ride. Their vehicles are always clean and the drivers are always very friendly and professional. They always get me to my destination without surge pricing like certain other companies. I prefer to support local businesses rather than a big corporations that are not even from this city.
- Tracy Warner10/20/2021I've always had good experiences with Checker cab, they've been my go-to for cab services since I first started taking cabs back in the fun, younger days of going out all the time! Most recently I needed a pickup at a set time, the cab showed up 5 minutes before that and had me to my destination in plenty of time. Cab driver was friendly and professional. I will use Checker cabs every time!
- Joe Hegholz10/18/2021I have used Checker Cabs, particularly when going to and from Calgary International Airport. I usually have an early morning flight and I would never take a chance with another service. The taxi driver always calls me upon arrival and is early, just to be safe. Thank you Checker Cab for always ensuring a smooth and trouble-free service!
- Tammy Warner10/18/2021As a mom Checker "Checks off" all my boxes when it comes to my children getting to and from a location safely, especially if they have been drinking. I know these drivers are monitored and are constantly taking courses to better themselves. I love the staff, the drivers and what this company stands for. =)
- Jessica Cherwick3/19/2021I was having some difficulties with the app which Layna went above and beyond to help fix. I was pleasantly surprised with the high level of customer service as she had provided me with a working solution promptly.Happy to use this company as the drivers are the most professional of all the cab companies and the cabs are always the cleanest as well.
