It was a pleasure to witness one of your cab drivers (#1356) drop off an elderly gentleman with crutches...the driver unloaded the man's groceries and took them into his apartment...big respect for those drivers who take extra care, when needed, of their customers!!!

Joyce Perkoh12/22/2022
Checker 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 😇.
Julissa Morrissey12/16/2022
Was cheaper than the uber that I was quoted that never came, had a lovely chat with the driver.
Ramel Oriel12/15/2022
One of their drivers (Fikru) drove our kids back and forth to school for 5 days as my wife and I went on vacation. Very trustworthy, punctual and everything went smoothly. Thanks Checker for helping us out.

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. Have to shout-out Simran cab #707 he treated me like family, with care and attention to my needs and those around us.

Danny Otando10/27/2022
Had 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.

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 jinji12/17/2021
I 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 :)

Pre-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.
